The Aleutian Islands ( ; possibly from Chukchi "aliat", "island") are a chain of 14 large volcanic islands and 55 smaller ones belonging to both the United States and Russia.  They form part of the Aleutian Arc in the Northern Pacific Ocean, occupying an area of 6,821 sq mi (17,666 km) and extending about 1200 mi westward from the Alaska Peninsula toward the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, and mark a dividing line between the Bering Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south.  Crossing longitude 180°, at which point east and west longitude end, the archipelago contains both the westernmost part of the United States by longitude (Amatignak Island) and the easternmost by longitude (Semisopochnoi Island).  The westernmost U.S. island in real terms, however, is Attu Island, west of which runs the International Date Line.  While nearly all the archipelago is part of Alaska and is usually considered as being in the "Alaskan Bush", at the extreme western end, the small, geologically related Commander Islands belong to Russia. Originating Depository Financial Institution or ODFI is a banking term in the United States used in connection with Automated Clearing Houses (ACH).  In the ACH flow, the ODFI acts as the interface between the Federal Reserve or ACH network and the originator of the transaction.  The ODFI warrants to the ACH network that the transactions it transmits to the network comply with the rules.  The depository institution that is a member of ACH is usually a bank or other financial institution which is initiating a payment on behalf of its client.  This is different from check processing in which the paying bank on which the check is drawn warrants that the transaction is in compliance. The Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-570) is a United States Act of Congress that made money laundering a federal crime.  It was passed in 1986.  It consists of two sections, and .  It for the first time in the United States criminalized money laundering.  Section 1956 prohibits individuals from engaging in a financial transaction with proceeds that were generated from certain specific crimes, known as “specified unlawful activities” (SUAs).  Additionally, the law requires that an individual specifically intend in making the transaction to conceal the source, ownership or control of the funds.  There is no minimum threshold of money, nor is there the requirement that the transaction succeed in actually disguising the money.  Moreover, a “financial transaction” has been broadly defined, and need not involve a financial institution, or even a business.  Merely passing money from one person to another, so long as it is done with the intent to disguise the source, ownership, location or control of the money, has been deemed a financial transaction under the law.  Section 1957 prohibits spending in excess of $10,000 derived from an SUA, regardless of whether the individual wishes to disguise it.  This carries a lesser penalty than money laundering, and unlike the money laundering statute, requires that the money pass through a financial institution.
