Operational Wallet Funding and Spend Authorization Record

PROBLEM: The FBI funds wallets for its own operations, but the funding, the authorized uses, and the spending from those wallets are not tracked in a single authorization record. A wallet created for an operation can be drained without any authorization check firing.

SOLUTION: An authorization record for FBI-created operational wallets: the funding source and amount, the operation it serves, the authorized spending purposes, and every outflow matched against an authorization — with any outflow outside the authorized purposes flagged for immediate review.
