They won't have to bother to ask you to prove how much money you have in the bank. The bank will simply hand your data over to the DWP whenever they ask for it.

This will be good then Absolut, as they can see all the 100s of UC and JSA entries in my account. They should get a real job and catch real crooks.

Its not rocket science but in my area, there has been prostitution etc for years on a grand scale. Escort agencies' galore, not that i have ever used any    

Teens driving cars worth 50k plus and naturally all through legitimate means of course but the so called powers that be, dont/daren't use their powers to pull them over on a basic search. Far easier to go after the small guys and girls with this new game. Their probably find some poor sods sold a few cds on eBay and cost them thousands in admin process to report it etc.
