1Opinion of the Court
CARNES, Circuit Judge:
These cases, consolidated for purposes of this appeal, arise out of plaintiffs’ claims that their banks improperly disclosed information relating to their cheeking accounts to federal authorities. The complaint in each case was dismissed on the ground that the safe harbor provisions of the Annunzio-Wylie Anti-Money Laundering Act, 31 U.S.C. § 5318(g), immunized the banks from liability. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse the judgments dismissing the complaints on that ground.
