In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Ryan Corces from the Gladstone Institutes about his work on the impact of chromatin architecture on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. The discussion begins in discussing he start of Dr. Corces research career and he shares his groundbreaking findings in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), demonstrating how mutations occurring in hematopoietic stem cells lead to the evolution of this disease. He emphasizes the pivotal role of epigenetic modifiers and how these insights steered his focus towards epigenetic research. As the conversation progresses, Dr. Corces covers his transition to a postdoctoral role, emphasizing his collaborative work employing the ATAC-seq technique. He details how refinements to this protocol not only improved data quality but also paved the way for more expansive research within the fields of hematology and cancer genetics. Additionally, he discusses his excitement for developing new computational tools for single-cell analysis, aiming to address the critical challenge of distinguishing between cellular states effectively. The episode also explores the fascinating intersection of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Dr. Corces explains the rationale for studying both conditions simultaneously, shedding light on the shared and divergent pathological features that emerge in patients. He argues for the importance of understanding mixed pathologies, which reflect the reality for many individuals diagnosed with these neurodegenerative diseases. References Corces, M. R., Trevino, A.

The world of cryptocurrencies has seen no shortage of upheaval, but regulatory clarity that has arrived with recent legislation has created opportunities. Stablecoins are an area that's seeing renewed interest in FinTech as a means of reducing friction for global payments. Jordan McKee, Sampath Sharma and Nathan Stovall return to the podcast with host Eric Hanselman to look at how stablecoins are being put to work and how they're being used. For applications like cross border trade and the remittances trade, stablecoins can increase speed and potentially reduce costs. They can be considered another payment rail through which to conduct business.   Stablecoins are not without challenges. There are regulatory imperatives to be met, like anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC). Trust needs to be built in the market and education is needed around their potential benefits and risks. Traditional banks are getting involved, but they have additional stumbling blocks. There are technical hurdles, such as the readiness of backend systems to handle the higher precision values of stablecoins. And there are new concerns around custody risk, as handling wallets and the enhanced security required are new skills for many. The potential benefits and lucrative markets may give them enough incentive to take the plunge.   More S&P Global Content: US banks maintain favorable earnings while confronting economic uncertainty Money20/20 Europe 2025: Key trends and developments Balance sheet, M&A and capital raising strategies for a volatile environment Next in Tech | Ep. 230: FinTech Advances Street Talk | Episode 142: Despite Looming Rate Cuts, Strong Deposit Franchises Still Take The Cake   For S&P Global subscribers: Data Insight: Cross-border payments volume to surpass $17 trillion by 2030 Cross-Border Payments Market Monitor & Forecast - Data Visualization Cross-border payments, stablecoins generate buzz at a low-key Money20/20 Asia Tariffs create urgency for payment optimization strategies among large merchants, SMBs   Credits: Host/Author: Eric Hanselman  Guest: Jordan McKee, Sampath Sharma, Nathan Stovall Producer/Editor: Feranmi Adeoshun Published With Assistance From: Sophie Carr, Kyra Smith

The episode wraps with a look at declining U.S. money laundering prosecutions.

Scott A. Armstrong, M.D., Ph.D., of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, studies how certain aggressive forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) develop and survive. His work centers on a protein called menin, which helps leukemia cells keep cancer-promoting genes switched on. Armstrong's team has found that blocking menin with specially designed drugs can shut down these gene programs, push leukemia cells to mature, and slow or stop the disease in lab models and patients. While some leukemias adapt by developing mutations in menin or finding other ways to survive, his research is revealing why certain genes are especially dependent on menin and how to target them more effectively. These discoveries are now shaping new treatments, drug combinations, and potential strategies for other cancers that rely on similar mechanisms.

In this episode of "Financial Crime Matters," Kieran talks with AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas about his agency's efforts to implement a vast extension of Australia's anti-money laundering regime to about 80,000 new entities under legislation commonly referred to as T2. In service to those efforts, Brendan details AUSTRAC's outreach to law firms, accountants, real estate agencies and other designated non-financial businesses and persons who will be required to create an anti-money laundering (AML) risk analysis, appoint an AML officer and be ready to file suspicious matters reports by July 2026. Key to Australia's need to come into compliance with the Financial Action Task Force's global standards, the extension of AML regulation is also central to the country's plan to actually stem the flood of illicit funds from transnational crime organizations into Australia's banking, gaming, real estate, precious metals and other sectors, Brendan says. As part of its commitment to effectuate more fund seizures and prosecutions, Brendan discusses how the AUSTRAC initiative will also utilize public-private information sharing, embodied by the country's Fintel Alliance, increased staffing, and AI and other technological tools to weaponize what will ultimately be 100,000 anti-financial crime reporting entities under T2.

According to Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), approximately every 3 minutes, 1 person in the United States is diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. AML is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy; despite advances in treatment, AML remains challenging to cure. Integrating new treatment options for patients with refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including menin inhibitors, into routine oncology care can help bring novel therapies to patients with relapsed or refractory AML. ACCC is committed to providing information on the latest research and treatment options for blood cancer. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Keri Halsema, NP, MSN, RN, nurse practitioner in the Blood Disorders Center at the University of Colorado Anschutz about the factors that influence treatment choices and the use of menin inhibitors to treat relapsed or refractory AML.   “We, as clinicians, are really excited that we have another treatment choice with respect to targeted therapy in these patients that have either the KMT2A rearrangement or the NPM1 mutation…Having outreach and making sure that community oncologists are aware that these medications are available, that various academic centers have various clinical trials that patients may qualify for and may be enrolled in, that's something that's very important in moving care forward for these patients with AML.” – Keri Halsema, NP, MSN, RN   Keri Halsema, NP, MSN, RN Nurse Practitioner Blood Disorders Center University of Colorado Anschutz Aurora, CO   Resources: Menin Matters   ACCC Hematologic Malignancies   ACCC AML Resource Page   ACCC Educational Video: Best Practices and Solutions for Performing Bone Marrow Biopsies in AML Care   Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Facts and Statistics   Menin inhibitors in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia

High-end art is attractive to money launderers because the market is opaque, illiquid by design, and driven by subjective valuations that are easy to manipulate. Buyers can hide beneficial ownership behind shell companies, trusts and intermediaries, buy works in private sales or through friendly galleries (avoiding the transparency of public auctions), and then re-sell or re-collateralize the pieces to convert illicit cash into apparently legitimate wealth. Criminals exploit briefcases of cash, friendly dealers, falsified provenance and inflated invoices to mask the origin of funds; they also use tactics like “wash” trades or reciprocal purchases between related collectors to inflate prices and justify large transfers that look like ordinary art commerce but are actually value-shifting schemes. Because many transactions are routed through offshore vehicles and art advisors who act as gatekeepers, tracing ultimate ownership and the money trail is often slow and difficult for investigators.Beyond simple purchases and sales, art can be used as collateral for loans, leased, or held in freeports and bonded warehouses where paperwork and customs oversight are limited—allowing assets to be moved or monetized while avoiding immediate scrutiny. Regulators and investigators have also documented cases where artworks were used to hide or re-domesticate funds tied to corruption, sanctions evasion, and organized crime: opaque sales are followed by loans or resale that produce clean bank records, or by transfers through jurisdictions with weak AML controls. That combination of subjective pricing, private dealing, offshore structures, and weak reporting obligations has prompted global watchdogs and lawmakers to press for tighter anti-money-laundering rules in the art market.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

An elite swim coach known for training Olympic hopefuls suddenly finds themself on the other side of perseverance. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), they face their toughest challenge yet- a fight for their life. After grueling rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, The University of Kansas Cancer Center helped them emerge with a renewed purpose and perspective.

Almost €9.4 million was laundered through money mule accounts in the 12 months to H1 2025, according to new figures released today by FraudSMART, the fraud awareness initiative led by Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI). While the amounts moved through these accounts vary, they typically range between €5,000 and €10,000 per case. The publication of today's figures come as FraudSMART, with support from AMLÉ (formerly the Union of Students Ireland or USI), launches the 'Don't be a mule' campaign. A money mule is someone who receives stolen money or proceeds of crime into their bank account and transfers it into another account, often in return for money or an expensive gift. While people of any age are susceptible to becoming a money mule, FraudSMART members have found that the majority of money mule bank accounts belong to those aged between 18 and 24 years of age, with some cases involving children as young as 14. New research conducted by FraudSMART reveals that: Almost a third (30%) of 18-24-year-olds reported that they, or someone they know, have been approached to use their bank account to transfer money. One in four (27%) 18-24-year-olds admitted they would be likely to consider using their bank account to transfer money on behalf of someone else, in exchange for keeping some of the money. 47% of 18-24-year-olds said they had never heard of the term money mule and 52% said they did not understand what it means. Awareness of the consequences of money muling is lower among 18-24-year-olds compared to older age groups. 26% are unaware that it could help fund other criminal activity, 31% are unaware that they would be committing a money laundering offence, 35% do not understand they could face jail time, and 42% are unaware it could affect their ability to obtain international travel or work visas. 60% of parents of teenagers surveyed said they have not discussed the risks of money muling with their children. Young people are being recruited through social media adverts promising 'easy' money Niamh Davenport, Head of Financial Crime, BPFI said: "Criminals are increasingly using social media to target teenagers and young adults, luring them with cash or gifts to act as money mules. Alarmingly, our research shows that nearly one in three (30%) people aged 18-24 have either been approached themselves or know someone who has been asked to move money through their bank account. Even more concerning, more than one in four (27%) of this age group admit they would be willing to transfer money on behalf of someone else in exchange for keeping a share of the money. This willingness highlights just how critical it is that we raise awareness of the risk - both in terms of serious criminal consequences and the fact that money is often linked to wider financial crime networks that fuel drugs, human trafficking, and other serious offences. An Garda Síochána warns about serious consequences of money muling Michael Cryan, Detective Superintendent at the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau stated: "It's vital that young people realise this is far from a 'victimless' crime and the consequences of taking part are severe. This is money laundering and the funds moved by money mules are linked to criminal activity, often stolen from innocent people through scams such as text message and email scams. Even more alarming, these funds frequently go on to bankroll other serious crimes including terrorism, drug trafficking, human trafficking and pay the bribes that corrupt people the world over. Money mules are recruited by Transnational Criminal Organisations and money mules enhance their capability to commit serious crimes. The money mule is a vital cog in the operations of these Transnational Criminal Organisations. That's why money muling carries such serious penalties, including the risk of a criminal record and prison sentence."

In this week's episode we'll learn about Azacitidine in VEXAS syndrome. Treatment can provide responses in patients with this complex autoinflammatory disorder. But relapse rates were high, so long-term therapy may be required to maintain disease control. After that: A step forward in precision blood matching. High-throughput array genotyping enables extended matching to reduce antibody formation. The results show the potential for reducing harm in regularly transfused patients. Finally, identifying a new vulnerability in TP53-mutated AML. Loss of the tumor suppressor BAP1 defines a unique subtype of TP53-mutated de novo AML. BAP1 loss also confers sensitivity to BCL-xL inhibitors in vivo, opening a new therapeutic avenue.Featured ArticlesEfficacy and safety of azacitidine for VEXAS syndrome: a large-scale retrospective study from FRENVEXArray genotyping of transfusion-relevant blood cell antigens in 6946 ancestrally diverse study participantsLoss of BAP1 defines a unique subtype of TP53-mutated de novo AML and confers sensitivity to BCL-xL inhibitors

Gaby Laurent's story starts the way every story should start; with an awesome, loving and supportive family and a wonderful upbringing. She grew up with love and the push, the drive and the support to have a great life. And when she went off to college she met the love of her life on the first day. Graduation, graduate school, marriage, career, and then pregnancy… everything that she wanted. Then came the diagnosis that changed her life. AML. Acute Myeloid Leukemia. While pregnant. No one had ever gone through the aggressive AML treatment while pregnant. Ever. Gaby was a medical unicorn as is her son Louis who went through chemotherapy while in utero. The story is harrowing but Gaby, along with family, went through it with incredible grace, humor, and a level of positivity that I struggle to comprehend. She tells the story in her book Wrinkles Welcome with the same level of humor and passion that is both profoundly powerful and amazing to watch, listen or read. Today, Gaby is healthy, happy, married with two boys and has a very active life full of gratitude, community and adventure. She believes in the power of community, faith and nature to help heal those in this very difficult place and she uses her experience to support and influence other cancer fighters and survivors, through her book, and as a camp director.

In this episode, we sit down with Lorri Pimentel of Santa Rosa, California, a resilient survivor who shares her deeply personal journey through breast cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and a life-saving bone marrow transplant. We explore not only the medical milestones but also the practical and emotional realities of navigating treatment and recovery, especially in the context of caregiving during the COVID-19 pandemic.Lorri opens by walking us through her diagnosis timeline: first with DCIS breast cancer in 2016, followed by an AML diagnosis in 2019. She underwent intense chemotherapy and, after a relapse, received a stem cell transplant in March 2021. Her story is not only one of medical complexity but also of personal upheaval—she was in the middle of a divorce and raising three children, with limited family caregiving options. Her caregivers were her friends and former work colleagues, who rotated week by week to support her recovery.We dive into Lorri's insights and hard-earned lessons about caregiving and post-transplant life. She stresses the importance of flexibility in caregiver scheduling, being prepared for early hospital discharge, and having a list of essential medical contacts readily available. She advises caregivers to undergo thorough training, keep detailed records for outpatient visits, and maintain strict medication management practices.Lorri doesn't shy away from sharing her missteps. She discusses her experience with Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD), the dangers of sun exposure, and complications like mucositis and insomnia. Her tips—like using a water pick, prescription mouthwash, fluoride toothpaste, and avoiding self-medicating with cannabis—are based on lived experience. She also shares less obvious insights, such as the need for UV-protective clothing, avoiding rice leftovers, and managing dry eyes with serum-based drops not yet FDA-approved.Transportation and social isolation were also major themes. Lorri emphasizes the importance of arranging reliable rides to appointments and finding indoor outlets for creativity and community. She found healing in watercolor art, music, yoga, and support groups. Her volunteer work with LLS, now Blood Cancer United, and NMDP reflects her dedication to mentoring others on the same path.We wrap up by discussing Lorri's present-day life. Now more than four years post-transplant, she's active, creative, and grounded in gratitude. Her final message is one of hope and purpose: bone marrow transplant recovery is slow, but it's life-changing, and each day is a gift worth sharing.This season is sponsored by Sanofi: https://www.sanofi.com/And Jazz Pharmaceuticals: https://www.jazzpharma.com/ National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, we speak with Daniel Medina of Broomfield, Colorado, about his journey as a caregiver for his wife Miley, who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 2021 at the young age of 27. What begins as a story of sudden diagnosis during an active summer of volleyball quickly turned into an emotional and logistical rollercoaster for Daniel, Miley, and their then two-year-old daughter.We walk through the early days of Miley's diagnosis, including a pivotal urgent care visit that led directly to hospitalization. Daniel shares how a professional connection helped secure Miley's access to top oncological care at UC Health. Despite initial chemotherapy and some success, a relapse in 2022 led to a bone marrow transplant, which ultimately helped Miley recover and thrive. Today, she's healthier and more driven than ever—running three coffee shops, parenting energetically, and even making time for beach volleyball.Throughout the conversation, we dive deep into Daniel's experience as a male caregiver. He reflects on the challenges of holding together family life, work obligations, and emotional well-being while supporting a critically ill spouse. He shares how difficult it was to ask for help—something that went against his natural instinct for independence—and how family, colleagues, and mindfulness practices helped him cope.Daniel is candid about the helplessness he felt, the fears of losing his partner, and the emotional weight of trying to appear strong for his daughter. He explains how something as small as being physically present, even if it's just sitting silently in the hospital room, becomes powerful. We also learn how critical digital communities like the CancerBuddy app were in helping him find hope, practical advice, and emotional connection during a time when Google only offered grim statistics.We explore how Miley's recovery affected not only their family dynamics but also their daughter, who—despite her young age—continues to carry emotional echoes of the experience. Daniel highlights the importance of honoring milestones and using them to reflect on growth, healing, and gratitude. He encourages all caregivers to stay grounded, stay present, and reach out for support when needed. His perspective is not only honest and raw, but also deeply human, offering valuable insight into the caregiving journey from a role that's often underrepresented.This season is sponsored by Sanofi: https://www.sanofi.com/And Jazz Pharmaceuticals: https://www.jazzpharma.com/CancerBuddy: https://bonemarrow.org/support-and-financial-aid/support/about-cancerbuddy National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. For more than two decades, David Tyree lived a double life. On the surface, he was a dedicated agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Behind the scenes, he infiltrated some of the most dangerous organizations in the world, outlaw motorcycle gangs and international drug cartels. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “I spent years sitting across from people who wouldn't hesitate to kill me if they knew who I really was,” Tyree said during a recent interview. “The stakes were always life or death. But the mission, to dismantle these organizations, was worth every risk.” He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. Undercover Against Motorcycle Gangs Tyree's undercover work included working with outlaw motorcycle clubs, also known as “one-percenters.” These organizations often present themselves as brotherhoods of riders but, as the Department of Justice points out, many function as highly structured criminal enterprises. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “The ‘Big Four' dominate the outlaw motorcycle scene,” Tyree explained. “These groups aren't just about bikes. They're about drugs, weapons, extortion, and serious violence. My job was to get inside and stay alive long enough to make a difference.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. According to federal reports, there are more than 300 active motorcycle gangs in the U.S. Some operations are small, but others span hundreds of chapters worldwide, often working hand-in-hand with drug cartels. Cartels, Cash, and Money Laundering Tyree's assignments expanded beyond biker gangs. He went undercover as a drug dealer, then later as a money launderer, targeting powerful South American and Central American drug cartels. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “These cartels are multinational corporations of crime,” he said. “Drugs, cash, money, violence, it's all part of their business model. They'll work with anyone who helps them move product or clean their dirty money.” Wikipedia describes cartels as alliances of independent drug lords who collaborate to dominate the illegal trade. Tyree saw firsthand how groups like the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas waged bloody turf wars while smuggling narcotics across borders. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “One day I could be moving fake loads of cocaine, the next day I'd be laundering millions in cash,” he recalled. “The psychological toll was real. You don't just walk away from that without scars.” Shattering the Hollywood Myths Much of what the public knows about undercover work comes from movies and TV. Tyree insists that reality is far different. “One big myth is that agents have to use drugs to prove themselves,” he said. “That's absolutely false. If you do that, you compromise the case. There are ways around those tests of loyalty, and we were trained to handle them.” Another misconception is that undercover life is constant action. In truth, many investigations stretched over a year or more. “Paperwork was just as important as the undercover work,” Tyree explained. “Evidence, lab reports, case files, that's what puts people in prison.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. As for agents going “soft” on their targets? Tyree dismisses the idea. “You might build rapport, but you never forget who you're dealing with. These are people who thrive on violence and greed.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Even his own family didn't always know the full truth. “I kept a lot to myself,” he admitted. “Sometimes it was to protect them, sometimes just to keep them from worrying.” Battling Trauma, and Cancer The stress of living under a false identity, constantly under threat, took its toll. Tyree admits nervousness was a constant companion early on. “I had to learn techniques to stay calm, to stay focused,” he said. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. As his career wound down, Tyree faced a different kind of fight, cancer. “It was one of the toughest battles of my life, but the same resilience I built undercover helped me through it.” His Cancer diagnosis was the result of a dare and bet. He is a huge advocate for early and frequent health screenings. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Life After the DEA Today, Tyree is retired from the DEA but far from finished with his mission. He serves as a Senior Advisor on Financial Crime Detection and Anti-Money Laundering with Valid8 Financial and is an instructor with the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists. With 25 years of experience, he now uses his expertise to help financial institutions, government agencies, and law enforcement combat crime through Bank Secrecy Act, AML, KYC, and due diligence processes. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Whether it was chasing cartels or building compliance systems, the goal has always been the same, protect people, protect society,” he said. Telling His Story Tyree now shares his story through interviews, news outlets, and guest appearances on podcasts like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio show and podcast, which is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and mroe. His recent feature, Police Under Cover Truths, pulls back the curtain on undercover operations, addressing both the myths and the realities of life in deep cover. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. He also connects with audiences check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where he continues to educate others about the risks of organized crime and the importance of financial vigilance. “I don't glamorize what I did,” Tyree concluded. “It was dangerous, it was messy, and sometimes it was terrifying. But it was necessary. And if people can learn something from my career, whether it's about cartels, motorcycle gangs, or money laundering, then sharing these truths is worth it.” Be sure to check out our website .

Elliot Berman and John Byrne return with a global roundup of AML developments. They begin with reflections on the Wolfsberg Group's latest guidance on suspicious activity monitoring, emphasizing innovation and model validation. The Basel Institute's working paper on collective anti-corruption action highlights the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration. The episode also covers a UK report forecasting a surge in synthetic identity fraud, a Ponzi scheme involving fake AI investment tools, and a comprehensive look at the evolving stablecoin landscape. Canada's 2025 national risk assessment is discussed, with insights into NPO risks, fraud trends, and the country's role in global trade. Additional topics include a local elder fraud case in Wisconsin, a Dutch bank's challenge to an AI-related AML fine, and upcoming AML webinars and interviews. The hosts close with a tribute to workers ahead of Labor Day and a reminder of the importance of vigilance in financial crime prevention.

Title 31 of the U.S. Code mandates banks to conduct due diligence on high-value accounts and timely report suspicious transactions via Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). In Epstein's case, investigations reveal that major banks—like JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank—processed vast and unusual transactions tied to him with significant delays or not at all. Senator Ron Wyden cited internal bank records showing one bank flagged more than $170 million flowing to Epstein, but only reported it seven years late, long after Epstein's death in 2019. SARs involving installments up to $100 million and Russian-linked wire transfers reportedly went undisclosed or underreported, suggesting systemic circumvention of Title 31 requirements.These failures weren't just clerical missteps—they represented institutional lapses in AML enforcement. Deutsche Bank was fined $150 million in 2020 for ignoring red flags and maintaining numerous Epstein-linked accounts well into 2019, despite clear indicators of his illicit activities. Compliance officers reportedly raised concerns, only to be overridden by bank executives, allowing Epstein's atypical cash movements and hidden financial networks to persist unchallenged until after media scrutiny intensified.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/brutal-rebuke-of-deutsche-bank-raises-serious-questions-about-one-of-jeffrey-epsteins-lawyers/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This episode started out to check with Wallace Locomotive Works, but before we got a chance to do that, we lost a good friend and longtime supporter of the AML Nation. The one and only Ralph Renzetti a.k.a. the MudFather. Ralph was a regular on the Wednesday night chats, ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who might have questions about their modeling, especially when it came to paint and weathering. One of the most talented modelers to ever grace the airwaves of the AML. Ralph was truly an artist, and we were fortunate to know him. However, after a good cry for the first twenty minutes or so, we finally managed to get around to chatting with Chris and find out more about his ever-growing company. It's a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!
