Podcasts about AML

Welcome to episode 258 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, new US sanctions targeting Iranian military procurement networks and Cuba's state-owned oil company, alongside a High Court ruling clarifying the scope of UK sanctions and contractual obligations. Europol has dismantled a €336 million cryptocurrency laundering service and the sentencing of a bank employee for laundering narcotics proceeds, as well as Haiti's launch of specialised judicial poles to tackle systemic corruption. Additionally, the episode covers a proposed overhaul of the UK's AML supervision framework and the launch of a £75 million national PoliceAI centre intended to accelerate complex criminal investigations. Finally, we discuss the FCA's intervention in a securities firm insolvency, and new ICO guidance regarding data protection expectations for the smart device industry.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial. The photograph on the podcast cover art is by Sora Shimazaki at Pexels, and the stinger sample between each news section is ‘Ben Logo 1' by BenKirb from Pixabay.

This week on This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne break down a wide range of developments shaping the financial crime landscape. They unpack a new joint advisory from FinCEN and federal banking agencies targeting risks tied to unauthorized labor and its implications for banks. The conversation then turns to escalating concerns about “debanking,” including controversy over blocked charitable donations and its implications for access to the financial system. The episode also dives into a congressional hearing on Chinese money laundering networks and how evolving typologies are challenging traditional approaches to tracking money. Plus, insights on prediction markets and potential manipulation, fraud trends tied to social media platforms, EU sanctions targeting crypto, and progress in combating antiquities trafficking.

Coming to you from Insight Denmark's recent 'Compliance & Legal in the financial sector' conference in Copenhagen!In the 1984 film Terminator, the T-800 is a threat — a machine sent from the future to destroy us.By the 1991 sequel, the exact same model has been reprogrammed and is now humanity's last line of defence.Is this how we should be looking at technology and financial crime? A threat we can reprogramme to work with us — rather than against us?Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Louise Buchter, AML Expert, and Cecilie Bøttger, Head of Compliance at Kompasbank, to ask: how do we turn technology against financial crime?The panel discuss how technology is the biggest threat in compliance, how it can also save us, and what the industry needs to do to embrace the change.Producer: Matthew Dunne-MilesEditor: Dominic DelargyVideo: Loïs DunfordCheck out our new short-film Yes, Chef! here. ____________________________________The Laundry explores the complex world of financial crime, anti-money laundering (AML), compliance, sanctions, and global financial regulation.Hosted by Marit Rødevand, Fredrik Riiser, and Robin Lycka, each episode features in-depth conversations with leading experts from banking, fintech, regulatory bodies, and investigative journalism — dissecting headline news, unpacking regulatory trends, and examining the real-world consequences of non-compliance.The Laundry is proudly produced by Strise.Get in touch: laundry@strise.aiSubscribe to our newsletter, Fresh Laundry, here.

Some change you choose. This isn't that. The accounting industry is having change done to it right now, and the two biggest culprits are regulation and AI. AML, KYC, tax agent linking, none of it was on anyone's wish list, it just landed on the desk with a due date. Same with AI, whether you're ready or not, it's already in your software, your clients' inboxes, and their expectations.In this episode Aly and Andrew ask the obvious question. When you're forced to change, who actually wins? Is it the firms who move fast, the regulators, the software vendors quietly adding a line to the invoice, or the clients turning up with robot generated advice and asking you to bless it for free?We dig into what the new rules really cost beyond the compliance box, how AI helps when it's useful and annoys everyone when it isn't, and how to come out the other side credible, sane, and still running a firm you actually like.Pour a bevvy, pull up a log, and tell us, which forced change is winning at your place right now?AAAAA IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR SPONSORSPinch Payments helps Australian businesses get paid faster without the usual follow-up fatigue.

The episode “AI Integration Into Compliance” explains how artificial intelligence is already becoming a practical tool for bank compliance teams as regulatory expectations rise, data volumes grow, and manual compliance processes become harder to sustain. Dean highlights three major areas where AI is creating value: transaction monitoring and AML, where machine learning can reduce false positives and detect suspicious activity more effectively; regulatory change management, where AI can scan updates and map them to internal policies and controls; and risk assessments/reporting, where AI can aggregate data to give management and boards clearer insights. However, the episode emphasizes that AI is not a plug-and-play replacement for compliance professionals. Banks must maintain strong governance, transparency, explainability, data controls, model validation, documentation, human oversight, and clear escalation paths. The key message is that AI should support compliance judgment—not replace it—and institutions should start with low-risk, high-pain use cases, clean and govern their data, collaborate across departments, and be ready to explain their AI tools to regulators.

What's up, fraud fighters, and welcome to Fraud Forward.I recorded this live from Safeguard's AI Deep Dive Retreat at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, and y'all, let me tell you something: this was not just another room full of AI buzzwords. This was fraud leaders, payment experts, financial institution professionals, fintech voices, marketplace operators, and risk leaders all sitting in the same place asking one very real question.What happens to fraud prevention when artificial intelligence changes everything?The future of AI fraud is not some far-off thing we are all fixin' to deal with later. It is already here. We are seeing AI change the speed, scale, and complexity of fraud operations right now. We are seeing it show up in synthetic identity fraud, AI scams, AI identity verification, agentic AI fraud, fraud detection automation, governance conversations, and the pressure fraud teams are already carrying every single day.But this episode is not about panic.It is about realism.It is about what fraud fighters are seeing, what institutions are building, where the gaps still are, and how we keep humans at the center while fraud keeps accelerating around us.What you'll hear in this episode:A practical conversation about the future of AI fraud and what it means for fraud operationsHow AI fraud prevention is changing across banking, credit unions, fintech, payments, marketplaces, and risk teamsWhy synthetic identity fraud, AI scams, and identity fraud prevention are becoming major areas of concernHow AI in fraud prevention can help investigators analyze data, identify patterns, and reduce noiseWhy AI governance in fraud prevention cannot be treated as something we clean up laterHow agentic AI fraud, know your agent, and KYA fraud prevention are becoming part of the next conversationWhy human-in-the-loop fraud detection still matters, even when fraud analyst AI tools are getting betterHow fraud fighters and AI can work together without replacing the people who know this work bestA reminder that responsible AI risk management has to include governance, empathy, collaboration, and practical controlsWho should listen:Financial institution leaders and fraud professionalsRisk, compliance, and cybersecurity teamsFraud operations teams and investigatorsCredit union and community bank leadersBanking fraud prevention teamsCredit union fraud prevention teamsFintech, payments, and marketplace risk teamsBSA, AML, KYC, and identity teamsRegulators and policy advisorsIndustry advocates and victim support professionalsMedia professionals covering scams, fraud, AI, and financial crimeAnyone trying to understand how AI-driven fraud affects real people, real institutions, and real fraud teamsThis conversation is for the fraud fighters who are not just trying to check a compliance box. It is for the teams trying to protect members, customers, and communities while also figuring out how to use AI-powered fraud prevention without creating new risk.

Industry experts estimate synthetic identity fraud costs the financial industry as high as $95 billion a year, and the most damaging attacks pass every verification check without triggering a single alert.Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, brings 25 years of payments and fraud infrastructure experience to a direct conversation with Hal Lonas, Chief Technology Officer of Trulioo, the identity verification platform trusted by Google, JP Morgan Payments, Stripe, Airbnb, and Meta.Lonas explains why detection rates hide more than they reveal, how fraudsters now add intentional imperfections to AI-generated deepfakes to beat detection systems, and why agentic commerce requires an entirely new verification layer beyond KYC and KYB. The conversation covers Trulioo's Know Your Agent (KYA) framework, the Digital Agent Passport, Google's Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), and the privacy regulation debate most compliance teams have not fully worked through.Find out more1️⃣ Ask your identity vendor for their false negative rate, not just their detection rate, and demand specific numbers.2️⃣ Build continuous monitoring into your post-onboarding workflow so your system is still watching on day 30, 60, and 90.3️⃣ Audit every automated decision model in your stack and document the logic before your next regulatory exam.4️⃣ Map your verification flow and tier friction based on real-time risk signals instead of running flat checks on every customer.5️⃣ Get your compliance and growth teams in the same room with a shared dashboard showing fraud loss rates and abandonment rates side by side.Guest:Hal Lonas LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hal-lonas-4555b1Hal Lonas X: https://x.com/hal_lonasCompany:Trulioo: https://www.trulioo.comFintech Confidential:Podcast: https://fintechconfidential.com/listenNotifications: https://fintechconfidential.com/accessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialX: https://x.com/FTconfidentialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fintechconfidentialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fintechconfidentialSupporters:Under.io streamlines application and underwriting by digitizing PDFs for digital signature: under.io/FTCSkyflow is a zero trust data privacy vault delivered as an API, covering PCI, CCPA, GDPR, SOC 2, and beyond: skyflowsecure.comDFNS provides wallets as a service, API first, multi-chain, secured with MPC, used by Stripe, Fidelity, and others: fintechconfidential.com/dfnsHawk AI offers real-time payment screening, AML monitoring, and dynamic customer risk rating to reduce false positives: gethawk.comAbout:Hal Lonas is the Chief Technology Officer of Trulioo, where he leads technology strategy, product development, and engineering.

Send us Fan MailFive things worth knowing this week.1. Prices dip, transactions drop.Halifax confirmed a 0.1% fall in UK house prices in May. London and the South East led the decline. Residential transactions fell 3% in April to just over 101,000. Higher inflation expectations are keeping borrowing costs elevated despite recent cuts. For prime London owners, the headline number is less important than the direction — when transactions fall, liquidity tightens, and liquidity is what protects value when you need to move.2. Legal complexity at the top end is accelerating.Compliance demands, AML requirements, and due diligence obligations are adding time, cost, and friction to high-value completions. This is not new — but it is getting faster. Assembling the right legal team before you need it is now part of the transaction itself.3. The Remediation Bill — another layer.Coming on top of leasehold reform, the Renters' Rights Act, and successive tax changes, the Remediation Bill adds to a regulatory stack that is now material in its cumulative weight. If you have multiple properties or development interests, map your exposure now.4. Planning reform: fewer decisions to committee.The government's National Scheme of Delegation will mean more decisions delegated to officers, fewer going to committee. Faster in theory — but less opportunity to challenge through the political process. The officer relationship matters more than it used to.5. India's UHNWI population up 27% by 2031.India's ultra-high-net-worth cohort is projected to cross 25,000 individuals by 2031. Mayfair, Knightsbridge, and Marylebone have all seen sustained Indian UHNWI interest over the past decade. As that population grows, so does the pool of prospective prime London buyers. A demand story worth watching.The full bulletin is in the first comment.Reply if you would like it direct to your inbox each Tuesday.The London Property Podcast Hosted by Farnaz Fazaipour, londonproperty.co.ukIndependent intelligence for serious London property owners and investors.Every episode cuts through the noise with 30 years of prime London market experience  no estate agent spin, no vested interests.

In a live X Spaces discussion hosted by CancerNetwork® in collaboration with the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT), Marc J. Braunstein, MD, PhD, and Sofia Zahid, MD, highlighted noteworthy presentations and abstracts in hematologic oncology at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. Together, they discussed the data that may shake up clinical practice across different multiple myeloma, leukemia, and lymphoma populations.Braunstein is an associate professor in the Department of Medicine and course co-director of the Hematology/Oncology System at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, as well as the fellowship program director of Hematology/Oncology at NYU Langone Health. Zahid is a first-year fellow at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine.The discussion focused on the following abstracts:·      Abstract 7512o   Combining belantamab mafodotin-blmf (Blenrep) with daratumumab (Darzalex), lenalidomide (Revlimid), and dexamethasone produced rapid activity among patients with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in the phase 1/2 BelaDRd study (EUCT-2024-515634-32).o   The progression-free survival (PFS) benefits observed in the trial support further evaluation of the quadruplet in a phase 3 study compared with other novel combination regimens in NDMM.·      Abstract 6505o   Revumenib (Revuforj) maintenance therapy after allogeneic stem cell transplantation showed feasibility in a heavily pretreated cohort of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).o   Outcomes appeared favorable vs historical cohorts, supporting prospective assessment of maintenance menin inhibition among those with AML.·      Abstract 1503o   In a retrospective analysis of electronic medical records for 293 patients who received CAR T-cell therapy for lymphoma (n = 175), multiple myeloma (n = 106), or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 12), outpatient monitoring was associated with significantly fewer hospital days without increased emergency department visits or 30-day mortality.o   These findings show the potential for lower healthcare utilization for patients who receive CAR T-cell therapy in the outpatient setting.·      Abstract LBA7000o   Adding tafasitamab (Monjuvi) and lenalidomide to rituximab (Rituxan), cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) significantly improved PFS vs R-CHOP alone among those with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the phase 3 frontMIND trial (NCT04824092).o   The data may support tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and R-CHOP as a potential new standard of care in the frontline treatment of patients with cell-of-origin subtypes of high-risk DLBCL.References Terpos E, Ntanasis-Stathopoulos I, Gavriatopoulou M, et al.

Nick Fernando, Co-founder & Director, Aqua Global SolutionsThe Swift ISO 20022 deadline of 22 November 2025 is now past history. Isn't it? Well, it appears not, with many banks continuing to rely on translation tools to bridge legacy systems. Yet stopgap measures come at a cost. Nick Fernando, Co-founder and Director at Aqua Global Solutions, warns that translation tools won't cut it in the long run. Banks that are ISO 20022 native stand to gain far more than compliance – from faster straight-through processing to fewer manual errors and richer data insights.

Hoe vind je de juiste balans tussen privacy, innovatie en maatschappelijke belangen?In deze aflevering van de Leaders in Finance Compliance Podcast spreekt Jeroen Broekema met Marta Borrat Frigola, Senior Legal Counsel bij ABN AMRO, voorzitter van de Privacywerkgroep van de Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken (NVB) en Chair van de Expert Group on Privacy and Data Protection van de European Banking Federation (EBF).Hoe heeft privacy zich ontwikkeld van een nicheonderwerp tot een strategisch thema voor banken, toezichthouders en klanten? Waarom draait privacy volgens Marta uiteindelijk altijd om balanceren? En hoe verhouden privacyregels zich tot onderwerpen als witwasbestrijding, fraudepreventie en gegevensdeling binnen de financiële sector? Ook gaat het over de rol van privacy binnen nieuwe Europese wetgeving, de uitdagingen rondom het gebruik van klantgegevens en de impact van technologische ontwikkelingen zoals AI.---> Volg de Leaders in Finance Compliance Podcast via de Website en LinkedIn.---> De Leaders in Finance Compliance Podcast wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Cense, Deloitte, Rabobank, en Osborne Clarke.---> Ben je een compliance officer of senior (AML) professional die in zijn/haar werk te heeft met privacyvraagstukken en vind je interessant om onder begeleiding van een expert te leren van vakgenoten met vergelijkbare vraagstukken?

In this episode of This Week in AML, John Byrne and Elliot Berman break down key developments shaping the financial crime and compliance landscape. The conversation opens with reflections on Federal Reserve independence following Chair Jerome Powell's recent remarks, before turning to U.S. policy updates and bipartisan actions with implications for governance and oversight. The discussion then shifts to practical compliance takeaways, including OFAC's newly released sanctions overview and a $1 million settlement highlighting how sanctions risks can arise through indirect client relationships. Internationally, the hosts examine Finland's national money‑laundering risk assessment, the evolving EU transparency rules on beneficial ownership, and growing concerns about human trafficking linked to major global sporting events. The episode also explores ongoing investigations into fintech and payments firms, emerging risks in cross‑border money movement, and a new Basel working paper on stablecoin liquidity and regulation.

In this episode of AML Conversations, John Byrne is joined by Sarah Beth Felix, author of Dirty Money Weekly, for an in-depth discussion on the biggest developments impacting financial crime compliance professionals. From recent OCC and FDIC consent orders to evolving executive orders shaping fintech and AML regulation, Sarah shares sharp, practical insights drawn from the front lines. The conversation highlights why “a clean audit is not a good audit,” the risks hidden in fintech-bank partnerships, and how even small institutions can fall into critical compliance gaps. Sarah also breaks down the real-world challenges posed by new policy directives—and why many may be harder to implement than they appear. The episode closes with a must-hear reminder for AML teams: focus on what truly matters—identifying and reporting suspicious activity that law enforcement can actually use. If you're not getting feedback on your SARs, it may be time to take a closer look at your program.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Hawken McEwan, Director of Financial Crime Compliance at nCino KYC, about the rising complexity and scale of financial crime in South Africa, how FICA and AML obligations are evolving, including the impact of Directive 11 and what accountable institutions must be doing now to stay compliant and protect themselves.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 4 Giugno 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Investimenti, mercati e quadro macroTestate: Repubblica / Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / MoltoEconomia* OCSE: crescita debole e inflazione ancora invasiva. L'OCSE segnala un rallentamento del quadro globale e, per l'Italia, una crescita molto contenuta: Pil +0,5% nel 2026 e +0,6% nel 2027. Il tema centrale è che l'inflazione continua a comprimere i salari reali, riducendo il beneficio degli aumenti nominali. Per imprese e consulenti, il messaggio è prudente: la crescita resta bassa, ma il rientro dell'inflazione può aprire spazi di stabilizzazione.* Debito e spesa pubblica restano il vero vincolo. Giorgetti richiama alla disciplina di bilancio: attenzione alle spese e necessità di non disperdere credibilità sui mercati. Il punto positivo è che l'Italia viene descritta come più ascoltata in Europa, ma la traiettoria del debito impone selettività sugli interventi.* PNRR verso l'ultimo miglio. MoltoEconomia indica il PNRR a quota 166 miliardi, con focus su riforme e grandi opere. La priorità ora è trasformare le risorse in cantieri, produttività e modernizzazione reale.Industria, tecnologia e innovazioneTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / La Stampa / Il Messaggero / MF* Sovranità digitale europea: AI, chip e data center. Bruxelles accelera su intelligenza artificiale e semiconduttori, con ipotesi di fondo sovrano per progetti tech. La lettura positiva è chiara: l'Europa prova a ridurre la dipendenza da USA e Cina e ad attirare investimenti industriali ad alto valore aggiunto.* Banca d'Italia: tecnologia contro stagnazione. Il Messaggero evidenzia il messaggio di Bankitalia: la svolta tecnologica può aiutare l'Italia a uscire dalla stagnazione. Per il sistema produttivo, il nodo è la produttività: digitale, capitale umano e investimenti diventano leve decisive.* Industria 5.0 e PNRR. MF segnala più risorse per Industria 5.0, dentro la rimodulazione del Piano. È un segnale favorevole per imprese energivore, manifattura avanzata e investimenti in efficienza.Fisco, normativa e PNRRTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Repubblica / Il Messaggero / MF* Rimodulazione PNRR da 2,1 miliardi. Il Sole 24 Ore e Il Messaggero convergono sulla revisione: 2,1 miliardi riallocati, con 1 miliardo alle case green e 200 milioni agli alloggi popolari. Repubblica parla di rimodulazione da circa 2 miliardi e segnala la complessità della decima rata, pari a 28,4 miliardi.* Piano casa: stop alle agevolazioni fiscali. Il Sole 24 Ore segnala una prima “tagliola” sugli emendamenti, con esclusione di nuove agevolazioni fiscali. La linea è coerente con il vincolo di finanza pubblica: meno bonus generalizzati, più selezione degli interventi.* Pignoramenti: tutela anche per autonomi. Il Sole 24 Ore evidenzia l'estensione di garanzie anche al lavoro autonomo. È un tema rilevante per partite IVA, professionisti e piccoli imprenditori.Banche e creditoTestate: La Stampa / MF / Il Sole 24 Ore* Commerzbank-UniCredit: battaglia legale. La Stampa riporta il contenzioso tedesco per bloccare l'offerta italiana. Il tema resta strategico: consolidamento bancario europeo, sovranità finanziaria e ruolo delle banche italiane nei dossier cross-border.* BCE e progetto Mythos. MF segnala il richiamo della BCE alle banche su Mythos. La direzione è quella di rafforzare infrastrutture, pagamenti e presidio tecnologico del sistema bancario.* Antiriciclaggio: il Vaticano cerca nuovi analisti.

High‑risk MDS and AML continue to challenge clinicians, with limited durable responses and few options for older or treatment‑refractory patients. In this sponsored episode of The Top Line, host Stephanie Butler is joined by Dr. Amer Zeidan, Professor of Internal Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, to unpack new ASCO 2026 data that are drawing attention across the myeloid malignancies field.The discussion focuses on mesutoclax, a novel oral BCL‑2 inhibitor evaluated in combination with azacitidine. Dr. Zeidan breaks down early findings showing a 100% objective response rate with CR rate of 40% per IWG 2006 criteria and 90% composite complete response with CR in 60% in treatment‑naïve high‑risk MDS, along with strong efficacy and encouraging safety signals in AML, with over 80% composite CR, and with potent activity in TP53 mutant, as well as zero death within 30 or 60 days and rapid cytopenia recovery.Listeners will hear how mesutoclax’s potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic profile may overcome key limitations of existing BCL‑2 inhibitors, and what these results could mean for future frontline treatment strategies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's up, fraud fighters, and welcome back to Fraud Forward!This conversation is one I think a lot of us need right now.Financial services are moving fast. Fintech innovations, AI in financial services, real-time payments, embedded finance, digital assets, and payment systems modernization are all changing how institutions serve members and customers.And let me just assure you, fraud fighters are not anti-innovation.We are not the department of no. We are the people who know what happens when fintech innovation moves faster than controls, when fintech compliance is treated like a checklist, and when fraud risk management gets discussed only after something has already gone wrong.In this episode, I sit down with Nyla Cortes to talk through what fintech innovations really mean for credit unions, community banks, fraud teams, BSA officers, compliance leaders, and frontline staff trying to protect people in real time.Because behind every fraud case is a customer. A member. A family. Someone whose trust, dignity, and financial stability may be permanently affected.That is why this conversation matters.What you'll hear in this episode:A practical look at how fintech innovations are changing fraud risk inside financial institutionsWhy modernization creates opportunity, but also expands the attack surfaceWhat AI governance in financial services needs to look like before something goes wrongHow AI in financial services can support fraud prevention strategies when governance is built inWhy real-time payments require real-time fraud operationsHow fintech partnerships and third-party risk management can introduce hidden exposureWhy fintech risk management has to include fraud, compliance, BSA, AML, operations, and frontline teamsWhat community bank fintech adoption looks like when resources are already stretchedWhy operational readiness matters before losses show up on a reportHow we can support fintech fraud prevention without forgetting the people impacted by crimeThis is not a political conversation. It is not a vendor pitch. It is a practical, honest conversation about what it takes to modernize responsibly.Who should listen:This episode is for the fraud fighters doing the work every day.Fraud directors and fraud analystsBSA and AML officersRisk and compliance leadersCommunity bank and credit union teamsFrontline tellers and member service representativesVendor risk and fintech partnership teamsCybersecurity and payments professionalsRegulators and policy advisorsAnyone trying to balance fintech innovation, fraud prevention strategies, consumer protection, and operational realityIf you are sitting inside a smaller institution thinking, “Holy moly, we are being asked to move faster, but we do not have the same resources as the big banks,” I want you to hear me.You are not behind because you are doing something wrong. You are operating in an environment where fintech innovations are accelerating faster than the resources available to manage the risk.And that means we have to get very intentional.Show Notes:https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/05/integrating-financial-technology-innovation-into-regulatory-frameworks/https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-integrates-financial-technology-innovation-into-regulatory-frameworks/https://www.sardine.ai/whitepapers/the-agentic-ai-oversight-framework

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Matt Ellis of Miller & Chevalier about the ACI “Cartels, TCOs and Compliance in Latin America” forum (July 20–21, Washington, DC) and why cartel/TCO/FTO risk is a timely 2026 compliance priority. Ellis describes the Trump administration's focus on cartels, fentanyl, China's influence, and the expanded enforcement toolkit—FCPA guidance linking to cartel activity, sanctions, AML actions (including FinCEN orders against Mexican financial institutions), and cartel FTO designations implicating the Anti-Terrorism Act. They discuss how cartels infiltrate supply chains, creating “material support” exposure, and why due diligence must go beyond traditional screening to on-the-ground intelligence and nuanced red flags. Ellis notes government interest in compliance expectations, extortion-payment considerations, the Lafarge/ISIS example, anticipated investigations, broader regional risk (Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil), and increased multi-agency coordination and potential dialogue with U.S. authorities.

What's up, fraud fighters, and welcome back to Fraud Forward!I want to take a moment and talk about something bigger than one scam trend, one crypto headline, or one fraud typology. We are talking about fraud as infrastructure.Because what we are seeing right now is not isolated activity. Organized fraud networks are operating like coordinated systems, connecting pig butchering scams, social engineering scams, mule accounts, crypto money laundering, fraud and AML gaps, and national security and financial crime concerns.And y'all, this matters because behind every case is a real person. Someone's retirement. Someone's trust. Someone's financial stability. Someone who was manipulated by a criminal network long before the money ever moved.What you'll hear in this episode:Why fraud as infrastructure changes how we need to think about financial crimeHow organized fraud networks are using scam infrastructure, mule accounts, and crypto money launderingWhy pig butchering scams and social engineering scams are not simple one-off casesWhere financial institutions are making progress in fraud prevention and scam preventionWhy fraud investigations need stronger collaboration across fraud, AML, cybercrime, and law enforcementHow public-private partnerships can help close the gaps criminals are exploitingWhat fraud fighters can take back to their teams as organized fraud becomes more connectedWho should listen:Financial institution leaders and fraud professionalsRisk, compliance, fraud and AML, and cybersecurity teamsBSA officers and fraud investigatorsRegulators and policy advisorsPublic-private partnership leadersVictim support and advocacy professionalsAnyone trying to understand how organized fraud impacts real peopleFraud does not live in silos, and neither should our solutions.

In this episode of Marrow Masters, we talk with Adam Claxton, a British acute myeloid leukemia (AML) survivor who was diagnosed in 2024 and received a transplant in December 2024. He shares what early survivorship really feels like, especially the part no one prepares you for. Once treatment slows down, there is a gap between being a patient and figuring out who you are in the world again. Adam explains that around the 100 day mark, he felt dropped out of the system and forced to ask where he fit, what had changed, and who he was becoming after transplant. We also discuss graft versus host disease (GVHD) and how Adam reframes it. He calls it the price he pays for leukemic protection. That shift in perspective helps him see chronic GVHD not only as a complication, but also as evidence that the donor cells are doing their job. He is honest that it can be difficult physically and mentally, but he chooses to view it as part of survival and a sign that his body is being protected. A major focus of the conversation is mindset. Adam talks about mindset as something we have to work on daily, just like updating a device. He believes our thoughts shape how we feel, behave, and respond, and that mental habits matter just as much as physical recovery. He also opens up about relapse, calling it an even harder battle than the initial diagnosis. What helps him move through it is staying connected to his reasons for going on, including his family, his purpose, and his desire to help more people with his voice and experience. The episode also looks at faith over fear. Adam says both fear and faith still take you through the day, so he would rather choose the path that gives him hope. That same thinking connects to what he calls the reset after transplant. He realized he could not simply return to the same life, work, and identity he had before cancer. His priorities had changed, and so had his sense of purpose. Instead of trying to recover the old version of himself, he began building a new one. On a practical level, Adam shares advice about routines, mindfulness, exercise, social media boundaries, and finding joy again in simple things. One of his best suggestions is to go back to the things you loved doing around age 12, because those activities often reconnect you with peace, play, and presence. He also speaks warmly about the importance of support, especially from his wife and children, while reminding us that caregivers carry their own emotional burden too. By the end, Adam leaves listeners with a clear message. Survivors need to be kinder to themselves, own their stories, and start sharing what they have learned. His closing affirmation says it best: we can, we will, we must.

FLT3 inhibitors like gilteritinib and quizartinib play an important role in MRD-positive FLT3 ITD/NPM1-mutated AML post-transplant, with the MORPHO trial supporting gilteritinib as maintenance therapy.  Menin inhibitors may have a broader role in high-risk AML including NPM1-mutated disease, and re-evaluating mutational profiles at relapse is critical for optimal treatment selection.  Careful monitoring of side effect profiles, drug interactions, and MRD status is essential when navigating targeted therapy decisions in relapsed refractory AML. Throughout the episode, we discuss key practical points, including the importance of monitoring for QTc prolongation and the impact of drug interactions with CYP3A4 inhibitors. Tune in for an informative discussion that sheds light on the latest advancements in targeted therapies for AML and the evolving landscape of treatment options.

I sat down with Ian from the World Foundation to dig into one of the most pressing problems of our time, how do you prove you're a real human online without sacrificing your privacy? As AI floods the internet with bots and agents, the gap between human and machine interaction is closing fast. Ian walks me through how World ID and the Orb device let anyone verify their humanity using advanced cryptography, completely anonymously, no passport scans, no email addresses, no data sitting on some server you don't control. We also get into Ian's wild journey from GPU mining and Constitution DAO to building at World, and why the current KYC and AML model is a problem for both users and platforms. This is a conversation about identity, privacy, and what it means to be human in a world where most internet traffic won't be. Connect: World Foundation Website: https://world.org Twitter/X, World: https://x.com/worldnetwork Web3 with Sam Kamani: https://www.web3pod.xyz/ Key points:• [00:00] Sam introduces Ian from the World Foundation and the episode's focus on digital identity in the AI age• [02:30] Ian's background: crypto-adjacent upbringing, GPU mining with family, selling a Bitcoin at $600• [05:00] Ian drops out of college during COVID, starts a startup, gets pulled into crypto through Constitution DAO• [08:00] What World is: a way to prove you're a real human online, completely anonymously, using the Orb device• [11:00] Why this matters now: bots and agents already make up 60–70% of crypto trading traffic, and it's growing• [14:00] World ID vs KYC/AML: not a replacement for regulated compliance, but a privacy-first alternative for situations where KYC isn't legally required• [17:00] Why both users and platforms suffer under current KYC models, GDPR compliance burden, data exposure, trust issues• [20:00] How World ID solves the same human-verification problem more privately and with a better user experienceDisclaimer:Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

"We want to make sure that we discuss the details of the treatment and what treatments there are, whether it's an oral drug, whether it's a subcutaneous injection or an IV injection, [the patient's] potential for responding, whether this treatment is curative or supportive, and what the number of visits are. All of those different pieces of information that go into the decision-making process are really important," ONS member Sara Tinsley-Vance, PhD, APRN, AOCN®, nurse practitioner and quality-of-life researcher at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) treatment considerations.

Highlights From This Episode "The goals that I try to consolidate to make sure they're consistent with the patient's goals are to improve their counts, especially the anemia or cytopenias. If they're getting blood transfusions, we want to reduce the number of transfusions that they receive because we know that's linked to reduced overall survival, and it really impacts quality of life. ... And then for high-risk patients, it's a more serious discussion because we know that they are the ones who can progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). And we're trying to delay progression to AML. That means we're trying to improve their survival and we're also trying to manage their cytopenias and decrease their infection risk." TS 2:28 "If we look at approvals for low-risk disease and high-risk disease, those were really made based on the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) and sometimes the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS). Under those classification systems, when we think of lower-risk MDS, we think of patients who are primarily anemic but don't have increased blasts in their bone marrow. ... For higher-risk MDS, we want to have that discussion with those patients because their life expectancy is much shorter than patients with lower-risk MDS. We want to see if hematopoietic stem cell transplant would be something that they would be interested in if they don't have a lot of comorbidities and are relatively healthy." TS 11:41 "There are a lot of things to consider—[patients'] blood counts, comorbidities, whether they're frail, and what their goals are. There are some patients where there's no way they would want to go through transplant. And some patients want to be cured, so it just depends on your patient." TS 14:22 "I think of hematopoietic allogeneic transplants as a treatment for more of the patients with higher-risk MDS. ... With the Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M), a patient can have pretty good blood counts and not have increased blasts in the bone marrow. You could send them for a transplant referral upfront without having to give them additional treatment. ... There is a recent publication that said if a patient doesn't have more than 10% blast, you could refer to transplant as a first option. ... Also, if you had a lower-risk patient who is relatively young and doesn't have any other treatment options, this would also be a patient that you could refer to transplant to see if we could care for them, and then they wouldn't have to be getting transfused all the time." TS 21:12 "I think that we often think low-risk, no treatment needed, but it depends on the person. They often need ongoing supportive care to manage their symptoms even if they're not getting treatment. And just because we're not treating them, active observation, bringing them in to see how they're doing, if they've had infections, if their blood counts are changing, that is paying attention to them and doing something. Just because they're low-risk doesn't mean they don't need anything and we can just schedule for a one-year follow-up." TS 26:30

This week, Elliot Berman and John Byrne break down a packed slate of AML and financial crime developments shaping the global landscape. They start in the U.S. with two new FinCEN alerts—one highlighting Iran's use of front companies, digital assets, and complex corporate structures to evade sanctions, and another warning of heightened human trafficking risks tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The conversation expands into broader trafficking concerns From there, they unpack the OCC's latest risk perspective, emphasizing persistent cyber threats, rising fraud sophistication, and mounting pressure on compliance systems amid geopolitical tensions. On Capitol Hill, attention turns to the Clarity Act and its push to build a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies—alongside mounting concerns from banks and law enforcement about stablecoins, AML enforcement, and investigative visibility. Internationally, they discuss Canada's dramatic increase in AML penalties, AUSTRAC's updated risk outlook and virtual asset focus, Switzerland's proposed AML rule changes, and The EU's push toward a unified anti-corruption strategy.

In this special episode of Accountants Daily Insider, produced in partnership with The Access Group, we reflect on the headline takeaways from and implications of the 2026 budget, and how much it will change the game for accounting practitioners. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with David Boyar from The Access Group and ChangeGPS to discuss what was learned from Jim Chalmers' fifth federal budget, the tax changes to be made, how practitioners are responding to these changes, and why a holistic approach moving forward will be essential. Boyar also delves into what the budget means for clients across the spectrum, how practitioners can and should interpret their AML obligations post-budget, the opportunities inherent in the looming changes, the need to better leverage technology, whether some practitioners will call it a day moving forward, and other predictions for accounting leaders in the next five years, and the latest updates to ChangeGPS.

Crypto regulation in Q1 2026 reshaped the stablecoin and digital asset markets with the OCC's 376-page Genius Act proposed rule, the SEC's five-category crypto asset classification, and new AML data from FATF and Chainalysis. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, breaks it all down with Robert Musiala, Partner at Baker Hostetler and co-lead of their Web3 practice.The OCC introduced the PPSI framework that every future stablecoin issuer must follow, while at least 15 crypto-native companies raced to file trust charter applications. The SEC named 18 tokens as digital commodities, replaced the "decentralization" test with a central party control standard, and Chairman Atkins previewed up to three safe harbor proposals under a tentative Regulation CA. On the enforcement side, 84% of illicit crypto transactions in 2025 involved stablecoins, the DOJ seized $61 million in USDT, and North Korea expanded state-sponsored theft into remote IT worker schemes targeting US businesses.Find out more1️⃣ Map your Genius Act transition now; the 18-month implementation window is closing fast and companies that filed trust charters in late 2025 are already positioned.2️⃣ Vet every outsourced IT vendor accepting stablecoin payments for shell company ties to state-sponsored actors.3️⃣ Audit your tokens against the SEC's five-bucket test before the safe harbor proposals drop.4️⃣ Stress test your AML program against stablecoin-specific risks like peer-to-peer transfers, multi-hop wallet chains, and shell IT vendor payments flagged by the DOJ and FATF in Q1.5️⃣ Model your Q3 budget with and without yield revenue in case the OCC's related third-party restrictions survive.LINKSGuestRobert MusialaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-musiala/Baker Hostetler: https://www.bakerlaw.com/people/robert-musialaBlockchain Monitor: https://www.blockchainmonitor.com/CompanyBaker HostetlerWebsite: https://www.bakerlaw.com/Web3 & Digital Assets Team: https://www.bakerlaw.com/practices/web3-digital-assetsLegal Resources: https://www.bakerlaw.com/insightsHostTedd Huff: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teddhuff/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialFintech ConfidentialYoutube: https://youtube.com/@fintechconfidentialPodcast: https://fintechconfidential.com/listenNewsletter: https://fintechconfidential.com/accessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialX: https://x.com/FTconfidentialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fintechconfidentialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fintechconfidentialSUPPORTERSDFNS: Wallets as a service, API first, multi-chain, secured with MPC across 50+ blockchains - fintechconfidential.com/dfnsSkyflow: Zero trust data privacy vault for PCI, CCPA, GDPR, SOC 2 compliance - skyflowsecure.comHawk: AI tools for real-time payment screening and fraud prevention - gethawkai.comABOUTRobert Musiala is a Partner at Baker Hostetler where he co-leads the firm's Web3 practice.

Is Bukele a dictator, or is he simply executing the mandate of a population that was previously held hostage by gang violence and state corruption?Joe Nakamoto joins me to separate the propaganda from the facts surrounding the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. We examine the on-the-ground truth of what happens when a nation opts out of the broken fiat system and bets on a sovereign future.Moving beyond the headlines, we break down what a functional circular economy looks like. From El Zonte to Livingstone, Zambia, the goal is radical independence, building economic growth from the bottom up. We explore how merchants, farmers, and tourists are keeping value within their own communities instead of leaking it to centralized intermediaries, creating tangible wealth where credit cards and banks were never an option.The conversation inevitably turns to President Bukele and the tension between safety and state power. It is a complex situation that forces us to reconcile our comfortable Western ideals of governance with the raw, utilitarian needs of a developing nation that is finally feeling secure for the first time in generations.We also pull no punches on the surveillance state. With the rise of strict KYC requirements, the core promise of decentralization is under constant threat. Joe and I discuss why Bitcoin companies have a moral obligation to push back against regulatory capture. Relying on peer-to-peer solutions is the only way to avoid the trap of a segmented, compliant financial system that destroys the privacy that makes Bitcoin valuable in the first place.Finally, we talk about the mental leap required to fully embrace this change. The lightning network has made fast and cheap transactions possible, but the transformation happens in the mind. We discuss the difficult process of unlearning fiat habits and training ourselves to price our labor, our time, and our future in satoshis. If you are ready to stop watching the tickers and start participating in the revolution, this conversation is for you.
