Students in Ireland being priced out of college. So says Bryan O'Mahony, President of AMLÉ formerly known as Union Students of Ireland who explained why to Newstalk Breakfast.
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.
In this week's episode we'll learn about targeting NPM1 in acute myeloid leukemia. Researchers report the first clinical evidence of a menin inhibitor inducing complete remissions in AML with a NPM1 mutation. This validates NPM1 as a new therapeutic target in AML, alongside FLT3, IDH1/2, and KMT2A. Also on the podcast: targeting CD137 to prevent graft-versus-host disease. In nonhuman primates, a single dose of a CD137 antibody-drug conjugate provided long-term protection, with one important caveat: the potential for viral reactivation.Featured Articles: Menin inhibition with revumenib for NPM1-mutated relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia: the AUGMENT-101 studyA single dose of a CD137 antibody–drug conjugate protects rhesus macaque allogeneic HCT recipients against acute GVHD

We walk through the real workflow for small businesses: choosing cloud software and connecting bank feeds, coding sales and expenses with proper evidence (especially for VAT), handling accruals and prepayments, running credit control and payment runs, dealing with payroll journals, staying compliant with AML, and turning up-to-date data into useful management reports and cash flow forecasts. You Will Learn The true purpose of bookkeeping (decision-ready info first, tax compliance as a result). Why we recommend moving clients to cloud software (Xero, Sage, FreeAgent, QuickBooks) and specialising in one platform. How to keep business and personal spend separate and reconcile from the bank statement out. Sales workflows: invoicing, POS, online sales via Stripe/PayPal—and why you must “gross up” fees. Expenses, approvals, and smooth supplier payment runs (with director approvals). Payroll boundaries: when to outsource vs in-house, and how to post payroll journals correctly. AML responsibilities and the “bookkeeper as detective” mindset.

In this episode of AML Conversations, John Byrne sits down with Bob Simpson, founder of Daylight AML, to explore the often-overlooked world of mortgage fraud and its intersection with anti-money laundering (AML) efforts. Simpson shares insights from decades of investigative experience, highlighting typologies such as occupancy misrepresentation, cash purchases, and property flipping as vehicles for laundering illicit funds. The discussion also covers the impact of recent regulatory changes, including the rollback of beneficial ownership requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act, and the implications for financial institutions. Simpson and Byrne also examine the global FATF evaluation process, the risks of gray listing, and the transformative role of AI in fraud detection and compliance.
The first episode of Standard Chartered's new podcast series explores how ISO 20022's richer data formats and standardised messages can improve compliance and risk management in correspondent banking flows. We cover the benefits which makes the process more effective, as well as sanctions screening, fraud detection and AML checks.
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!!

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news Fed boss Powell gave a hint at Jackson Hole that weaker American labour market conditions may trump inflation risks when they next meet in three weeks - and a rate cut is a live possibility.Before that, Thursday NZT, the market darling Nvidia is set to report its results, and any variation from what is expected to be a stellar result, or any slackening of their outlook indications, could very well have ripple impacts on how investors judge their overall current sky-high valuations across the whole equities landscape. It's a huge immediate risk-point.But this coming week, we will be focusing on the New Zealand employment indicators for July to be released later in the week. And later today, the RBNZ will updated it Dashboard to June, so we can see the market winners (and losers) in the banking sector.Across the ditch, all eyes will be on July's monthly CPI data to be released on Wednesday.China will be releasing its August PMIs this week. India will updated its Q2-GDP, and its July industrial production data. And Canada will also have a Q2-GDP update too.But we shouldn't forget that the northern hemisphere has been getting in the last of its summer vacations recently. This is the final week before the US Labor Day national holiday on September 1, 2025, the traditional end of their summer holiday period and when their financial markets build back up to full strength.They will be coming back after digesting the Fed's latest indicators from Powell's Jackson Hole speech. He noted the core US economy has weathered the "sweeping changes in [US] economic policy" well, but now says "the balance of risks appears to be shifting" - to the negative side. Markets have taken this as a hint a rate cut could come as early as their mid September meeting.The US equity markets roared back to post a record high in Friday. The USD fell. Benchmark bond yields retreated.However, in the euphoria of the possibility of a rate cut markets seem to be ignoring this part: "inflation expectations could move up, dragging actual inflation with them. Inflation has been above our target for more than four years and remains a prominent concern for households and businesses". But they are betting on the 'transitory' inflation story again. Inflation embedded for four years, and juiced by tariffs, will be ignored at their peril.Across the border, Canadian retail sales in June were +6.5% higher than a year ago, the best rise since the pandemic recovery period in 2022. But some of this is just higher prices flowing through from their tariff dispute with the US, and a small correction dip is expected in the July data. And the Canadians are not ignoring the inflation risks of tariffs. To keep a lid on these inflationary effects of that dispute, Canada said it will roll back some of its retaliatory tariffs on the US. The US isn't doing the same, so their consumers will still pay the extra on imports.Across the Pacific, China reported more ugly foreign direct investment data over the weekend. While it didn't actually shrink like it did in April and June, it is running -13.4% below year ago levels, and it is still less than half the July ytd levels of 2022 or 2023, and down -7.3% from last year. The June to July gain this year, while welcome, isn't anything more than a statistical blip in the context of the fall away over the last four years.So it is no surprise that Beijing is reorienting to a focus on internal consumption - something they have a chance of still controlling. The international trade environment isn't moving in their favour and even where they do still get gains, they are not enough to move their needle.There was a surprising dip in Japanese inflation in July. It eased to 3.1% from 3.3% in the previous month, the lowest reading since November 2024. Helping was that electricity prices fell for the first time since April 2024. But food prices jumped +7.6%, the most since February. Again, rice was the big culprit.New data out from the Australian statistics bureau shows their R&D investment grew by +18% to AU$24 bln in 2023-24. The strongest growth was in IT including spending on Artificial Intelligence, which grew by +142% since 2021-2022.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.26%, essentially unchanged from Saturday at this time, down -6 bps for the week.Wall Street roared back in Friday trade with the S&P500 up +1.5% after the Powell hint of a rate cut next month. That means it is able to claim a +0.4% advance for the week which pushed it to a new record high.The price of gold will start today at US$3,370/oz, down -US$1 from Saturday, up +US$36 for the week.American oil prices have held at just under US$64/bbl with the international Brent price now just under US$68/bbl. These levels are more than +US$1 higher than a week agoThe Kiwi dollar is at just on 58.7 USc and unchanged from Saturday at this time. Against the Aussie we also holding at 90.4 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged too at 50.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 66.3, little-changed from Saturday but down -60 bps for the week.The bitcoin price starts today at US$114,366 and down -2.2% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been very low at just under +/- 0.6%.And finally, in Australia, AML regulator Austrac has directed Binance to appoint an external auditor after identifying serious concerns with the crypto exchange's anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing controls.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.
In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne cover a wide range of pressing global and domestic issues shaping the financial crime prevention landscape. From the humanitarian toll of economic sanctions and corruption risks in Ukraine's reconstruction, to Australia's cybercrime trends and the evolving U.S. stablecoin regulatory framework, the conversation dives deep into the intersection of policy, technology, and ethics. They also discuss the controversial “debanking” executive order, the phasing out of federal paper checks, and the disturbing rise of sextortion scams linked to Southeast Asian fraud compounds.
Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM) business development lead Mark Mariampillai talked with Proactive about the company's new collaboration with DigiShares and ZIGChain. Mariampillai explained that this partnership will establish an institutional-grade platform for real-world asset tokenisation, combining Valereum's regulatory compliance, DigiShares' white label platform, and ZIGChain's blockchain technology. He noted: “The one key problem with RWA tokenisation is liquidity. And we try to solve the three biggest problems that's holding back tokenisation, which is access, liquidity and compliance.” The partnership is expected to target the MENA and Central and South American regions first, with an emphasis on real estate tokenisation. According to Mariampillai, real estate developers in the MENA region are already in discussions to issue tokens for both new and existing properties. Beyond property, he highlighted opportunities in royalties, private companies, and fund tokenisation. The interview also addressed the potential development of a regulated decentralised exchange (DEX) for real-world assets. Mariampillai said this would be the first whitelisted RWA DEX where users could complete KYC and AML processes before participating in trading. He highlighted that this development could provide long-term shareholder value through transaction fees and return on investment.

BUFFALO, NY — August 21, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 7 of Aging (Aging-US) on July 17, 2025, titled “The influence of cancer on a forensic age estimation tool.” In this study by Charlotte Sutter, Daniel Helbling, Cordula Haas and Jacqueline Neubauer from the Zurich Institute of Forensic Medicine, University of Zurich and Onkozentrum Zurich, the researchers investigated how cancer might affect the accuracy of forensic tools used to estimate a person's age from blood samples. DNA methylation is a natural chemical modification of DNA that changes with age. Forensic scientists can use these changes to predict someone's age from biological traces, such as blood found at a crime scene. However, medical conditions like cancer can alter these patterns and potentially reduce the accuracy of such predictions. This study investigated whether various cancer types influence the DNA markers used in age estimation. “Our study is among the first to show whether it might be necessary to account for the influence of cancer on forensic age estimation tools in order to enhance estimation accuracy as much as possible.” The researchers applied the VISAGE enhanced age estimation tool, a widely used DNA methylation-based method, to blood samples from 100 cancer patients and 102 healthy individuals. Age predictions in the control group were generally accurate, with small average errors. Patients with solid tumors, including breast and lung cancers, showed only slightly less accurate results. In contrast, individuals with blood cancers, particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), sometimes had large errors, with ages overestimated by as much as 50 years. Despite these few extreme cases, the study found that cancer does not typically have a strong impact on the accuracy of this forensic tool. Most cancer patients, even those undergoing treatment, had DNA methylation patterns similar to those of healthy individuals. The researchers found no consistent differences based on cancer type, stage, or treatment, except in isolated cases involving aggressive forms of cancer. The findings support the continued use of current forensic age estimation methods. While aggressive cancers may occasionally affect prediction accuracy, such cases are rare. The researchers suggest noting these conditions as a possible factor in unusually large errors, without requiring changes to standard practice. This study provides valuable information about how health conditions, such as cancer, may influence DNA-based age estimation. It strengthens confidence in the reliability of forensic age prediction tools, even when applied to individuals with a medical history of cancer.

In this episode, John Byrne and Elliot Berman unpack a series of significant developments in banking, compliance, and enforcement. They begin with the White House's new executive order on “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” which aims to prevent what some call “debanking.” While positioned as a fairness measure, John and Elliot warn that it could weaken banks' ability to make independent, risk-based decisions, potentially increasing white-collar crime exposure. They note concerns over the subjective nature of risk scoring and parallels to the 2008–2010 financial crisis. Next, they spotlight the IRS-CI “CI-FIRST” program, a collaborative effort between financial institutions and the IRS's Criminal Investigation division to improve information sharing and streamline financial record requests. The recent CI-FIRST Executive Forum in Washington is seen as a model for effective public-private partnerships in combating financial crime. The discussion then turns to enforcement actions: Paxos Trust Company will pay $26.5 million to New York regulators for failing to properly vet Binance and for systemic AML program weaknesses, alongside a $22 million investment in compliance upgrades. The DOJ issued its first corporate FCPA action since resuming enforcement, with Liberty Mutual paying $4.7 million to resolve bribery allegations involving Indian state-owned banks. Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, pled guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy, tied to the $40 billion collapse of Terra USD and Luna, with a $19 million penalty and possible 12-year sentence. They also cover a Senate minority report critical of the administration's approach to Russian sanctions, arguing it undermines Ukraine's leverage and lacks consistent enforcement. The FACT Coalition emphasizes the need for tools like the Corporate Transparency Act to bolster sanctions' effectiveness. On the policy front, they discuss delays and staffing cuts affecting the State Department's annual human rights report and the pending trafficking in persons report—both key references for global human rights and anti-trafficking efforts.

Mollie Kallen, a former elementary educator and counselor, shares her deeply personal journey after being unexpectedly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in April 2023. Her story begins with the shock of diagnosis and the rapid transition from her professional life to becoming a full-time patient. Mollie describes the overwhelming emotions and uncertainty she faced, highlighting the importance of resilience and adaptability in the face of life-altering news. Throughout her treatment, which included multiple rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, Mollie emphasizes the critical role of self-advocacy. She discusses how taking an active role in her care—asking questions, seeking second opinions, and understanding her treatment options—empowered her to make informed decisions. Mollie encourages other patients to speak up and be proactive, stressing that self-advocacy can significantly impact outcomes and overall well-being. Mollie also underscores the value of building a strong support system, or a “village,” during cancer treatment. She credits her family, friends, and fellow patients for providing emotional and practical support throughout her journey. This network helped her navigate the physical and psychological challenges of treatment, offering encouragement, companionship, and assistance with daily tasks. Mollie's experience demonstrates that no one should face cancer alone, and that community is a vital resource for healing. In addition to her personal story, Mollie advocates for better communication between patients and healthcare providers. She believes that open, honest dialogue is essential for effective care and encourages patients to utilize available resources such as counseling, yoga, and music therapy. Mollie highlights the need for practical tools and information to help patients and caregivers manage the complexities of cancer treatment, from understanding medical terminology to coping with side effects. Looking ahead, Mollie is channeling her experiences into advocacy and education. She is writing a book aimed at guiding patients and caregivers through the cancer journey, offering insights, encouragement, and practical advice. Her goal is to empower others to navigate their own diagnoses with confidence and hope, ensuring that no one feels isolated or unprepared as they face the challenges of cancer.Mollie Kallen recounts her unexpected diagnosis with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in April 2023 and the immediate upheaval it caused in her life.She highlights the importance of self-advocacy and being proactive in medical decision-making during cancer treatment.Building a supportive "village" of family, friends, and fellow patients was crucial to her emotional and practical well-being.Mollie advocates for open communication with healthcare providers and the use of resources like counseling, yoga, and music therapy.She is writing a book to help guide other patients and caregivers through the complexities of cancer treatment, drawing from her own experiences.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

This week on TRM Talks, Ari Redbord, Global Head of Policy, TRM Labs, sits down with Nikhil Raghuveera, CEO of Predicate, to talk about the future of compliance in decentralized finance — and why the next wave of policy innovation will be built directly into code.As DeFi matures and regulators sharpen their focus, projects are facing a new challenge: how to meet real-world policy and legal expectations without compromising decentralization.
