General formulae for the soft SUSY breaking terms, valid in any SUGRA context, were derived in the mid-nineties. Since SUSY is not expected to have quantum anomalies, they should be valid in the quantum theory and be RG invariant down to the soft SUSY breaking scale. This observation enables us to give a uniform treatment of all phenomenological models for SUSY breaking and transmission, such as AMSB, GMSB, etc. In particular we find that the much discussed RG invariant formulae for soft SUSY breaking parameters in AMSB, effectively depend on a strong assumption of factorizability of the matter Kaehler metric. We then argue that there is no necessity for having ad hoc constructions such as mAMSB to counteract the negative squared slepton mass problem, since the natural framework that emerges in a sequestered model is one in which gaugino masses are as in AMSB, and the other soft terms are generated by RG running as in gaugino mediation.
