In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne unpack a pile of developments across the globe. From the EU's decision to add Russia to its AML blacklist and phase out Russian gas imports, to major enforcement action against a crypto mixer, the conversation dives deep into the evolving financial crime landscape. They also cover Canada's updated guidance on politically exposed persons, U.S. alerts on cross-border transfers, OCC's changes for community banks, and a surprising OFAC penalty tied to real estate sanctions. Plus, insights on humanitarian access challenges and upcoming year-in-review discussions. Stay informed on what's shaping compliance and risk management today.

As part of a visit to Georgia Cancer Center in Augusta, Georgia, CancerNetwork spoke with a variety of experts and faculty members regarding ongoing research and future initiatives dedicated to improving outcomes across different patient populations. These conversations touched upon potential developments in diseases including non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), multiple myeloma, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). First, Girindra Raval, MD, an associate professor in the Department of Medicine: Hematology and Oncology of the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, discussed current studies at his institution that may help optimize treatment for patients with lung cancer. This research ranged from retrospective trials analyzing how demographic features may influence outcomes to biomarker-based assessments intended to augment the efficacy of immunotherapy. Looking towards the future, Raval stated that determining how to sequence and de-escalate treatment amidst several available therapeutic options will be a key concern in the field. Additionally, Amany Keruakous, MD, director of Myeloma Research at Georgia Cancer Center and assistant professor in the Department of Medicine: Hematology and Oncology at the Medical College of Georgia of Augusta University, detailed strategies for mitigating current challenges in multiple myeloma care. She emphasized fostering collaborative relationships between colleagues in community settings and academic institutions to help reduce barriers to treatment access among patients. Furthermore, she noted the importance of conducting additional clinical trials at community centers.  Finally, Daniel Peters, MD, an assistant professor at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University and bone marrow transplant & cellular therapy faculty member at Georgia Cancer Center, focused on key developments across the AML space. At his institution, Peters and colleagues are evaluating potential drivers of immune dysfunction, which may inform less intensive cellular therapy approaches or determine who is suitable to receive autologous types of treatment. Peters also discussed how additional research set for presentation at meetings like the 2025 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition (ASH) may affirm a shift away from 7+3 intensive chemotherapy for patients who are younger and fit with newly diagnosed AML. 

Identity verification is the legal process of confirming that a person or organisation is who they say they are. It helps prevent fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, terrorist financing, and abuse of financial systems. Businesses must prove that clients are legitimate before providing services — especially when risk is higher. When Identity Checks Are Required When onboarding new clientsIf risk levels change or suspicious activity appearsBefore offering regulated professional servicesWhen payment behaviour or ownership suddenly changes These checks are not optional. Failure to verify identity can lead to penalties, account freezes, investigations, reputational damage, and criminal consequences. Acceptable Proof of ID & Address Proof isn't just a name written in an email — it must be documented. Typical verification includes: Passport or driving licenceRecent utility bill or council tax statementBank statements showing address In some cases, enhanced checks (E-KYC) are required — such as source of funds, ownership structure, or AML screening. Risk-Based Assessment Matters Not all clients have the same level of risk. Businesses should apply stronger verification when: Clients operate internationallyPayments vary unexpectedlyLarge or unusual transactions occurClients come from high-risk industries Good record-keeping protects you. Compliance is not just a legal obligation — it's a financial safeguard. Record Keeping Requirements Keep ID documents securely for a minimum of five years. Store clean digital audit trails in accounting systems, encrypted drives, or secure cloud platforms. Never hold data informally in WhatsApp chats or desktop folders. Consequences of Getting It Wrong If identity verification fails or is ignored, businesses risk: HMRC penaltiesFinancial loss from unpaid invoicesRegulatory investigationPermanent reputation damage Preventing risk is cheaper than fixing mistakes later.

Hello and welcome to episode 205 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. This episode covers significant global enforcement actions, including the UK updating its Cyber Sanctions List to subject Russian national Andrei Valerevich Kozlov to an asset freeze for involvement in the cybercrime ecosystem, and the US Treasury's OFAC levying a statutory maximum $4.7 million penalty against a real estate investor for illegally dealing in property owned by a sanctioned Russian individual. We look at AML and governance failings, noting the £650,000 fine imposed on Videoslots Limited by the UK Gambling Commission for serious anti-money laundering and safer gambling deficiencies, while an IMF report highlights persistent governance weaknesses and widespread corruption vulnerabilities in Pakistan. Finally, we turn to broader crime fighting, covering the Chartered Trading Standards Institute's urgent call for funding to combat organised crime operating from "front" shops on UK high streets, and analysing Security Minister Dan Jarvis's warning about escalating cyber threats and the need for proactive societal resilience.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial.

APAC compliance is entering its most disruptive year in a decade, and 2026 is set to reshape how organisations across the region manage financial crime, data, cyber, ESG and whistleblowing risk. In this episode, we bring you the audio from our expert webinar on the major regulatory shifts unfolding across Asia Pacific and what they mean for compliance teams.

In this episode of AML Conversations, Joe McNamara speaks with David Lutz, Associate Director of the AML RightSource Financial Crime Advisory group about the evolving Crypto landscape, recent milestones in the space, and how recent legislation has opened the door to further legitimacy and regulation. The cryptocurrency industry is experiencing its fintech moment - trading the freedom of the Wild West for legitimacy in the regulated financial system. With the GENIUS Act establishing the first federal framework for stablecoins and new EU travel rule requirements taking effect in 2026, crypto exchanges must now meet higher AML standards that align with the expectations of traditional banking partners.

October 2025 shook the crypto world. Bitcoin crashed harder than any October since 2015, someone accidentally minted $300 trillion in stablecoins, and traditional banks started an all-out war against crypto companies trying to get federal charters. Tedd Huff, founder of Fintech Confidential and CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre, sits down with Rob Musiala, partner at Baker Hostetler who co-leads The Blockchain Monitor, to break down what moved Web3 when it mattered most. They walk through why stablecoins just crushed major card networks with $2.6 trillion in annual volume, how Western Union suddenly decided blockchain payments make sense, and what the Genius Act really means for everyone trying to operate in this space. This isn't theory. Banks are fighting to protect their turf while crypto infrastructure gets bought up for billions. The conversation covers enforcement crackdowns, court rulings that actually matter, regulatory battles over OCC charters, and why sitting this one out stopped being an option months ago. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1️⃣ Financial institutions must evaluate make-or-buy decisions on stablecoin infrastructure before competitors capture market share as platforms offering blockchain-based payments already process volumes exceeding major card networks. 2️⃣ Developers building on Ethereum layer-2 solutions can expect 30-60% lower transaction fees after Fusaka activates December 3rd, allowing projects to adjust pricing models or capture improved margins. 3️⃣ Stablecoin issuers, custodians, payment facilitators, and exchanges face different compliance requirements based on their specific business models under the Genius Act framework. 4️⃣ Retail investors and traders experienced 60-80% losses across major meme coins during October, while newcomers like Mini U and MemeCore surged during the same downturn. 5️⃣ Businesses operating cross-border payments between Japan and international markets gain new infrastructure as institutions push toward 10 trillion yen stablecoin circulation targets.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Costa Arvanitopoulos from Finni Mortgages to unpack Macquarie Bank's retreat from trust and company lending and the rising role of self-managed super funds (SMSFs) in property investment. They explain that Macquarie's move, driven by tighter anti-money laundering (AML) scrutiny and concerns over spruikers using trusts to dodge serviceability rules, signals a broader shift in how lenders view complex structures. While this may disrupt investors who use trusts for tax and asset protection, borrowing in personal names remains available, and other lenders are expected to fill the gap. Against this backdrop, Tarrant and Arvanitopoulos highlight SMSFs as a more mainstream and increasingly popular vehicle for property investment. Arvanitopoulos notes that SMSFs let investors use their super to buy property without impacting personal borrowing capacity, which is particularly useful for those already maxed out in their own names. He explains that SMSF lending focuses on fund contributions, rental income and, for business owners, company financials to prove serviceability. The duo also flag the limitations and tax settings around SMSFs, including no equity release, no major renovations, and higher tax rates on very large balances.

In this episode, host Ajay Shamsani interviews fintech and blockchain lawyer Philip Ziter to dissect the seismic shift in Vietnam's cryptocurrency policy. Effective January 1, 2026, the new Law on Digital Technology Industry moves the nation from regulatory ambiguity to a framework of comprehensive control. This landmark legislation introduces a deliberately restrictive environment for crypto exchanges, demanding a $400M minimum capital, strict domestic ownership requirements, and mandatory Vietnamese dong settlement. With only five licenses to be issued over five years, the barriers to entry are steep. Despite these stringent compliance challenges including AML and cybersecurity demands Vietnam remains a significant crypto player, boasting 21 million adult users and transaction volumes exceeding $100 billion. This framework signals genuine government commitment but raises key questions about the future: will regulators be able to keep pace with the technology, and will institutional investment replace the country's prevalent retail enthusiasm?Our GuestPhilip ZiterPrior to joining Russin & Vecchi, Philip worked in Vietnam as an attorney at a top tier regional law firm and later with a commercial firm involved in blockchain.Philip advises on corporate and transactional matters, and on financing arrangements.Philip has been legal advisor to a handful of startup companies. He is knowledgeable in the fintech, blockchain, and e-commerce industries in Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the US.Philip has also worked with manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and other entities in cross-border transactions.He advises on inbound investments involving corporate finance, manufacturing, technology, intellectual property, and mergers and acquisitions.Our HostAjay ShamdasaniAjay Shamdasani is a veteran writer, editor and researcher based in Hong Kong.

A powerful conversation with Adrienne Bender as she shares her children's stories, her journey through loss, and the strength it takes to keep living with purpose and love.In this heartfelt episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks with author, Registered Nurse, and grief recovery specialist Adrienne Bender about her courageous path through unimaginable loss and the resilience that shaped her into the woman she is today. Adrienne became a single mother at seventeen when her son Kyler was born. She worked tirelessly to build a future—putting herself through college, becoming a Registered Nurse, marrying, and welcoming her daughter Mackenzie. But her life took heartbreaking turns as she faced Mackenzie's battle with AML leukemia and Kyler's struggle with addiction. Adrienne shares these stories with honesty, love, and deep reflection. Betsy and Adrienne discuss the impact illness has on the entire family and the emotional toll of losing both of her children and her father in such a short time.Adrienne also served as a caregiver for her grandfather, giving listeners a raw and real view of how caregiving and grief shape a family's life. A central theme of their conversation is emotional truth—acknowledging feelings rather than numbing them through unhealthy coping habits. Adrienne emphasizes that healing begins with honesty and compassion toward ourselves. Adrienne continues to honor Kyler and Mackenzie through joyful traditions: placing treats in their Christmas stockings, celebrating their birthdays with massages and dinners, and keeping their memories alive through stories and love. This deeply emotional episode is dedicated to Kyler and Mackenzie, whose lives continue to inspire strength and resilience.To learn more about Adrienne's work, speaking, and her book The Almost Miracle Years, visit her website: http://adriennebender.com/

In this episode of the REB Business Empowerment Showcase, deputy editor Emilie Lauer sits down with Lucas McEntee, CEO and founder of SaleFunder, rebranded as Riverstone Partners, to explore how real estate agents can streamline transactions and navigate upcoming regulatory changes. McEntee reflects on the company's evolution, from a direct-to-consumer finance business to a service-focused partner for 6,000 agents across Australia, offering solutions such as vendor paid advertising (VPA) payments, BPAY, credit cards, and loans. The discussion highlights the challenges agents face, including administrative inefficiencies, trust account risks, and preparing for the upcoming anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) changes, which are set to take effect on 1 July 2026. McEntee explains how Riverstone Partners reduces a 12-step process down to just three, cutting costs, enhancing security, and allowing agents to focus on selling properties. He also emphasises the importance of understanding AML basics, knowing the customer, and integrating workflows seamlessly. Looking ahead, McEntee shares his vision for the future of real estate transactions, including secure, efficient alternatives to traditional trust accounts and the continued expansion of services to support agents in a rapidly changing landscape. His insights offer a roadmap for agents to operate more efficiently, securely, and profitably while confidently navigating regulatory changes. Did you like this episode?

HB is going to touch on important topics in the fraud detection and prevention space, such as AI, regulatory pressures, and the perspectives of startups that can get them into trouble.Questions:You've spent a lot of time in the world of fraud and compliance. What first drew you to solving these kinds of problems?Startups often focus on growth first and worry about fraud later. What's the hidden risk in that mindset?Why do you believe fraud prevention and AML compliance are converging, and what are the benefits of them living in the same system?AI gets talked about a lot, but in your view, what are the real, practical ways it's improving fraud and AML work today?We're seeing more regulatory pressure globally. How can organizations prepare for 2026 to ensure they are taking a risk-based approach to compliance?I know your team's been working on some big innovations, including a new compliance suite built on top of your fraud prevention stack and new AI-driven tools. How are these helping investigators connect the dots faster and uncover hidden relationships, especially when it comes to complex cases?What advice would you give to early-stage startups that might think they're ‘too small' to be targeted by fraudsters?Linkshttps://seon.io/https://www.linkedin.com/in/hbajwa/Our Sponsors:* Check out Incogni: https://incogni.com/codestory* Check out NordVPN: https://nordprotect.com/codestorySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story-insights-from-startup-tech-leaders/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Alaska Municipal League (AML) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, statewide membership organization of 165 cities, boroughs, and unified municipalities, representing over 97 percent of Alaska's residents. Originally organized in 1950, the League of Alaskan Cities became the Alaska Municipal League in 1962 when boroughs joined the League. Nils grew up in Washington State, earned a degree in Peace and Development studies from the University of Bradford in Great Britain, and served as the executive director of the Institute of the North prior to moving to AML in 2018.

Keith Raphael, Found and CEO of Straddle in this episode talks about compliance requirements for organizations that move money. We go over the specific examples and go in-depth into each scenario that triggers specific compliance requirements.Key takeaways from the episode:Reg E only applies to consumer transactionsReg Z is applied to debt instruments belonging to the individual consumer.Reg E is applied any time the consumer account is debited electronically. Reg E is the safety net that makes consumers comfortable about the banking system. Specifically it offers proper protocols that forces everyone to abide by.Reg E forces the FI or a payment processor or a marketplace owner - whoever is interacting directly with the customer, has to cover the transactions that are claimed as fraudulent by the consumer while they are under the investigation by the bank."You can't be too small for the AML rules". Whoever you are and whatever your intentions are, if you participate in the money laundering of any form (even if unintentionally), you will be punished.If an entity is acting as an agent of the payee, they don't have to adhere to the same regulations as an MSB. FinCEN Payment processor exemption allows some money flows to not be considered as Money Transmitters.The moment we are talking about storing value for an individual, processing P2P transactions - think MTL requirements.Article on FBO accounts issued through Omnibus accounts through sponsor banks: https://open.substack.com/pub/aftfinance/p/what-are-omnibus-accounts?r=8gvix&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=falseCDD = Customer Due Diligence My favorite quote from Keith: "If you solve for identity in payments, everything else is just accounting".And here is the article that I recently wrote on the subject of KYC/KYB requirements: https://aftfinance.substack.com/p/kyc-kyb-aml-and-bsa?r=8gvix

Cash Over €10,000 Becoming "Illegal Tender" in January 2027 What's true: Starting in summer 2027 (not precisely January), there will be an EU-wide limit on cash payments for goods and services: no more than €10,000 per transaction (or linked transactions). This applies across all 27 member states, though countries can set lower thresholds if they want (e.g., some already have limits around €1,000–€3,000). The goal is to curb illicit cash flows used for crime. What's false: Cash itself doesn't become "illegal tender"—you can still hold unlimited euros in cash, withdraw it from banks, or use it for smaller payments without issue. The restriction is only on using cash to pay for things above the limit (e.g., you couldn't buy a €15,000 car in cash without switching to wire transfer or card). Violators face fines or penalties, but it's not a blanket criminalization of cash holdings. This builds on existing rules but standardizes them EU-wide for the first time. 2. Every Bitcoin Needing "Government Permission" What's true: The rules ban anonymous crypto-asset accounts or wallets held through service providers (e.g., exchanges like Binance). Crypto firms must perform customer due diligence (CDD)—verifying identities—for any accounts they manage, similar to how banks already handle fiat accounts. Privacy-focused coins (e.g., Monero, Zcash) and unhosted (self-custodied) wallets face extra scrutiny if used for high-risk activities, and anonymous services will be prohibited. What's false: There's no requirement for "government permission" to own or transfer individual Bitcoins (or any crypto). You can still hold Bitcoin in a personal wallet, mine it, or peer-to-peer trade it without approval, as long as it's not through a regulated service that demands KYC (know-your-customer) checks. This ties into the broader Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation (effective 2024–2026), which licenses crypto platforms but doesn't micromanage personal holdings. The "permission" angle misrepresents standard AML checks, which apply to businesses handling crypto, not everyday users. 3. Every Transaction Becoming a "Datapoint in Brussels' Surveillance Grid" What's true: Financial institutions (banks, payment providers, crypto exchanges) must report suspicious transactions to national Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), which share data via a new EU-level Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) based in Frankfurt (not Brussels). CDD kicks in for occasional transactions over €10,000, and high-risk activities (e.g., complex/large transfers) get extra monitoring. Records must be kept for 5 years. What's false: Not every transaction is tracked or reported—only suspicious ones, high-value occasional deals, or those flagged under risk-based rules. Everyday purchases (e.g.,

In this episode of AML Conversations, Ferko Spits sits down with Dheeraj Maken, Practice Director at Everest Group, and Brad Breslin, Chief Delivery Officer at AML RightSource, to discuss the findings from Everest Group's 2025 Financial Crime Compliance Operating Services research. Dheeraj explains how the assessment criteria have evolved from emphasizing scale and cost arbitrage to focusing on operational ownership, and now in 2025, prioritizing regulatory agility and agentic AI capabilities that blend technology with human expertise. Looking ahead, the conversation explores emerging trends including fraud and AML integration, the migration of transaction monitoring to first line operations, expanding opportunities in crypto compliance and payments, and the anticipated shift toward 50-50 splits between human resources and automation. The group emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining domain expertise and judgment capabilities even as automation increases, particularly for complex decision-making in higher-level compliance functions.

In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne dive into the latest global developments in anti-money laundering and financial crime compliance. They unpack the EU's 19th sanctions package against Russia, discuss the GAO's critique of U.S. sanctions effectiveness, and explore FATF's October plenary outcomes—including new guidance on asset recovery and AI-related risks. The conversation also covers AMLA's growing role in EU-wide crypto oversight, the regulation of law firms, elder financial exploitation initiatives from the OCC, and the impact of government shutdowns on FinCEN operations.

Bitcoin hit $116K before $3.45 billion in liquidations while stablecoins transferred a record $15.6 trillion with bots executing 70% of that volume. Host Tedd Huff, CEO of Voalyre, and BakerHostetler Partner Robert Musiala break down what happened in crypto this month and why it matters to your business now. The SEC issued two major no action letters creating roadmaps for DePIN networks and state bank custody while Treasury opened a 58 question comment period closing October 20th on Genius Act implementation. The Wolfsburg Group published global AML guidance requiring banks to know their customer's customer when serving stablecoin issuers as nine European banks formed a consortium to launch a MICA compliant Euro stablecoin by 2026. Market fragmentation accelerates as purpose built stablecoins target specific communities while USDT and USDC slip to 84% combined share despite growing absolute volumes. Security threats remain the biggest adoption risk even as regulatory clarity emerges. Learn the five moves compliance and product teams should make today: display fees before sends, segment use cases by ecosystem, publish clear redemption rules, run cross chain incident drills, and build a one page control map that speeds both sales cycles and audits.

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Eunice Wang, MD, about the secondary AML treatment paradigm. Dr Wang is a professor of oncology, leader of the Leukemia Clinical Disease Team, chief of leukemia in the Department of Medicine, and an assistant member of the Tumor Immunology Program in the Department of Immunology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York; as well as an associate professor in the Department of Medicine and an academic scholar at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the State University of New York at Buffalo. In our exclusive interview, Dr Wang discussed the prevalence of secondary AML, and explained that this population lacks standard therapies, often relying on allogeneic stem cell transplantation. She noted that CPX-351, a liposomal formulation of cytarabine and daunorubicin, has generated improved outcomes compared with 7+3 chemotherapy in this population. She also highlighted future research, which includes targeted therapies and less intensive regimens.

In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne cover a wide range of pressing topics in the anti-money laundering and financial crime compliance space. They discuss the UK's latest sanctions targeting Russian energy giants, the European Banking Authority's report on crypto asset risks, and the Charity & Security Network's concerns about IRS scrutiny of nonprofits. The hosts also explore a revealing OCCRP investigation into corruption linked to Iraqi Kurdistan's ruling family and break down FinCEN's new FAQs on suspicious activity reporting. Plus, updates on GTO extensions and staffing concerns in EU regulators.

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.
