They discuss who writes asset recovery standards and what they mean for front-line practitioners.Cornel takes us inside the Strasbourg negotiations, where 41 jurisdictions turned a small protocol into more than 40 technical articles. He explains how an open treaty creates a common language: definitions for crypto assets and VASPs, broader confiscation types, standard forms for seizing orders, and post-conviction tracing.

This episode examines how the US Treasury thinks about financial crime, sanctions, fraud and protecting the integrity of the financial system. Financial crime, sanctions and illicit finance have become central to national security and economic security. But how can governments and the private sector ensure that the response is effective, risk-based and focused on outcomes? In this opening episode of the new season of the Suspicious Transaction Report, Tom Keatinge is joined by Jonathan Burke, Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes at the US Treasury Department. Drawing on his experience in both government and financial services, Jonathan discusses why the financial crime agenda must move from compliance to risk management, and why effectiveness should not be confused with simply adding more rules or easing pressure on the system. The conversation explores fraud as a growing financial and national security threat, the role of technology and data in identifying illicit finance networks, and the challenge of modernising frameworks such as the Bank Secrecy Act for a changed financial system. They also examine the Treasury's wider toolkit – including sanctions, Section 311 actions, enforcement and information-sharing – and why success should be measured not by the number of actions taken, but by whether financial threats are disrupted and the integrity of the system is protected.

Financial crime is no longer a slow, paper-based investigation that can be pieced together through records requests and manual review. Fraud networks can use synthetic identities, social media recruitment, cryptocurrency, real-time payments and AI-generated impersonations to move stolen money through multiple accounts in hours or even minutes. For law enforcement, the challenge is not only following the money, but doing so quickly enough to act before it disappears. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Daniel Kurz, a retired U.S. Secret Service senior executive and financial crime consultant for Cognyte. Kurz describes how modern criminal enterprises combine cyber fraud, money laundering and other offenses in shared networks — and why investigators need connected data, faster analysis and clear processes to keep pace with technology-driven financial crime.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when prison doesn't stop the fraud?In Fraud in the Office S3 E16: Behind Bars, Matthew and NOT Mark unpack the remarkable case of Jean Joseph and Janalie Bingham, a Florida couple behind a $50 million investment fraud scheme. Investors were told their money was backed by a real estate portfolio worth as much as $450 million, but prosecutors say millions instead went toward speculative stock trading, personal expenses, and payments to earlier investors.The twist? Joseph continued directing the scheme while already serving federal prison time for an unrelated wire fraud conviction.We explore how trust, false representations, weak oversight, and Ponzi-style payments kept the money flowing, and ask the obvious FITO question: If being behind bars can't stop a fraudster, what controls will?Support the showFind us on all streaming platforms! Check out our sponsor 1Trooper on LinkedIn @1TrooperAnd don't forget to subscribe!

Anthony "I Am the Science" Fauci took the Fifth 111 times in front of a Senate Committee. What are the possible outcomes?

Jeffrey Epstein used the secretive, lightly regulated world of high-end art as another financial arena in which ownership, value and the movement of money could be obscured behind trusts, limited-liability companies and private agreements. Records released in connection with Epstein showed that he helped structure major art purchases, sales, loans and joint-ownership arrangements, particularly for billionaire Leon Black, whose collection was worth billions of dollars. Expensive works were placed inside entities, pledged as collateral for enormous loans and moved through transactions in which the true beneficial owners were not always obvious to outsiders. Epstein also advised on tax strategies involving art sales and replacement purchases, allowing wealth to be shifted, leveraged or preserved without the transparency expected in ordinary financial markets. These arrangements demonstrated how paintings could function not merely as decorations or investments, but as portable stores of value that could be transferred, reappraised or borrowed against while leaving few publicly visible traces.That opacity fueled allegations that Epstein used the art market to launder or disguise money for himself and potentially for wealthy associates, although the publicly available evidence did not establish that every art transaction constituted criminal money laundering. The concern arose because art values were subjective, sales were often private and assets could pass through shell companies or trusts without revealing who ultimately controlled them. Newly released records showed complicated financial flows involving Epstein, art advisers and Black, including transfers that worried accountants, but investigators reporting on those transactions cautioned that the documents did not by themselves prove criminal wrongdoing. What the record did establish was that Epstein understood how to exploit the art market's secrecy to move wealth, reduce taxes, obtain liquidity and complicate scrutiny of ownership. Whether those structures concealed criminal proceeds remained an allegation requiring further investigation, but they closely resembled the mechanisms that made the international art trade attractive for money laundering and financial concealment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What happens to a seized mafia asset after the headlines fade? Dr Amber Phillips, Senior Lecturer in Criminology at UWE Bristol, has spent her career chasing that answer, starting with fieldwork in Calabria alongside anti-mafia organisations working to strip the 'Ndrangheta of its assets and its grip on local communities.She joins Jason Sandoval to unpack her 'Beyond the Figures' research with financial investigators across England and Wales and the gap between headline recoveries and what practitioners count as success. Amber argues for a fifth 'D', Destination, alongside disruption, disentitlement and deterrence, and previews her new NCA/Home Office study, funded through the Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme (ARIS), on whether asset recovery genuinely deters crime.⏱️ Timestamps02:00 – Amber's route into asset recovery via Calabria08:45 – how mafia power works and what asset recovery undermines14:00 – the GOEL social reuse model in Calabria17:50 – proposing a fifth D: destination as a measure of success21:00 – Beyond the Figures29:45 – how ARIS funding actually works

In this episode of AML Conversations, host John Byrne welcomes Tess Davis, Executive Director of the Antiquities Coalition, for a timely discussion on the intersection of cultural heritage crime and financial crime. From the looting of museums and archaeological sites in conflict zones such as Ukraine and Sudan to the exploitation of the global art market for money laundering and sanctions evasion, Tess explains why antiquities trafficking is far more than a cultural issue—it is a financial crime issue. The conversation explores the Rome Statement on Art Market Integrity, the growing role of law enforcement agencies like the Manhattan District Attorney's Antiquities Trafficking Unit, and bipartisan efforts in the United States to bring the art market under the AML regulatory framework. Tess also shares real-world examples of how stolen artifacts are laundered into legitimate collections and outlines key red flags financial institutions should understand when assessing risks tied to art and antiquities transactions. This episode offers valuable insights into a rapidly evolving threat landscape and the collaborative efforts underway to combat it.

AI is racing into payments, but the uncomfortable truth is that speed without trust turns into risk fast. We sit down with Garima Chaudhary, VP of Financial Crime and Compliance AI at ThetaRay, to unpack what it really takes to modernize AML and sanctions compliance while keeping humans accountable for outcomes.Garima shares her career journey from engineering and operational risk into the high-stakes world of financial crime, where “follow the money” reveals both how economies grow and how criminal networks adapt. We get specific about why legacy rules-based transaction monitoring creates overwhelming false positives, and how behavioral AI can spot anomalies across customer segments and peer groups, improving detection without punishing legitimate people and small businesses with blunt, one-size-fits-all rules. Along the way, we talk about the human cost of financial crime and why compliance decisions can either protect vulnerable communities or unintentionally lock them out of the financial system.The theme “the future is human” shows up everywhere: explainable AI, human-in-the-loop review, and the governance and documentation needed to defend decisions to auditors and regulators. Garima also looks ahead to agentic payments, where AI agents buy and move money on our behalf, forcing a rethink of identity, delegated authority, and what “normal behavior” even means in fraud and AML models.If you care about fintech, payments innovation, and building compliant products that scale, this conversation will sharpen your thinking.

Youngbee Dale joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to explain how traffickers run commercial sexual exploitation as a business, hiding it behind storefronts, shell companies, and cash, and why identifying victims often comes down to asking what they're being charged for.Chapters(00:00) - Trafficking Is a Business, Not Just Exploitation (01:27) - Financial Crime as an Anti-Trafficking Tool (04:26) - Why Trafficking Networks Operate by Culture (08:01) - Following the Cash: KYC and Transaction Patterns (12:23) - Hidden Ties, Shell Companies, and a Real Case (15:07) - The Questions That Reveal Exploitation (20:01) - Updating Training and Building a Collaborative Response (28:00) - The East Asian Crime Newsletter and How to Connect About Youngbee DaleYoungbee Dale is an anti-trafficking consultant, researcher, trainer, and expert witness whose work focuses on the commercial sex market in the United States, with particular expertise in Asian and Korean sex trafficking, illicit massage businesses, organized crime, money laundering, visa fraud, tax evasion, and financial crime indicators connected to exploitation. As CEO of Dale Consulting, LLC, she trains and consults for law enforcement, prosecutors, financial crime professionals, courts, policymakers, government agencies, and victim service providers. Her clients have included the New York State Human Trafficking Intervention Court Conference, the Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists, the FBI Southern District of New York, the NYPD Human Trafficking Case Unit, and several state trafficking commissions and task forces. Earlier she served as an NGO liaison to the FBI Norfolk Office and worked with Gonggam Public Law Office in Seoul, Korea. Her peer-reviewed research appears in Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence. She holds an M.A. from Regent University.Key Points• Traffickers treat commercial sexual exploitation as a business model where the goal is profit, so disrupting it means following the money back to the person actually running the operation.• Because anti-trafficking work has centered on victims, there is far less research on the financial crime, immigration fraud, and business structures traffickers rely on to operate.• Networks tend to follow their own cultural business patterns, so Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese operations launder money and handle payment differently, such as cash-only Chinese parlors versus credit-and-cash Korean ones.• "Know your customer" (KYC) analysis helps investigators recognize trafficking transaction patterns, which look different for domestic minor sex trafficking than for Asian illicit massage businesses tied to grocery stores, real estate, title agencies, or restaurants.• Following cash often means tracing it from the parlor through couriers to a profiteer who deposits it into business accounts or shell corporations, sometimes linked through shared addresses or property owned by family.• The questions that surface exploitation today focus on deductions, hidden fees, fines, wages, and debt bondage, since traffickers have moved past older controls like passport confiscation and forced on-site living.• A South Korean trafficker told Dale that operators fear the Department of Labor more than vice units, because wage and deduction questions can make a woman realize she is being exploited.• Stronger cases require offender-focused research, updated training, forensic accounting, and collaboration among prosecutors, the US attorney, and local law enforcement, who often lack funding for complex financial investigations.Resources• Dale Consulting – Youngbee Dale's consulting firm and primary website.• Money Laundering in the Commercial Sex Market in the United States• Visa Fraud in the Commercial Sex Market in the United States: An Overview• Tax Evasion and Fraud in the United States Sex Market• Beyond Massage Parlors: Exposing the Korean Commercial Sex Market in the United States

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/ojT2fNd11Lk  Following her convictions for the murder and attempted murder of her husband, Kouri Richins remains embroiled in a complex web of legal challenges, including a pending financial crimes case involving charges such as money laundering, mortgage fraud, and a pattern of criminal activity. Her defense team in the financial case—Wendy Lewis, Katherine Nester, and Alexander Ramos—has recently moved to withdraw, stating they are not contracted or paid by Summit County for this separate matter and that financial crime defense is outside their primary area of expertise. Meanwhile, her murder case awaits a restitution hearing and a defense motion for a new trial expected later this month, while her numerous civil cases currently lack any attorney of record. Legal proceedings are set to continue through the fall, with a particular interest in securing restitution for victims from any potential future earnings Richins may acquire.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, Kim speaks with Oliver Bullough, journalist and author of the highly acclaimed books: Butler to the World: How Britain Helps the World's Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything and Moneyland: Why Thieves and Crooks Now Rule the World and How To Take It Back.  Oliver's new book is called Everybody Loves Our Dollars - How Money Laundering Won. Oliver describes a moment in his life that shaped each of these books. He was touring the palace of Yanukovych, the corrupt pro-Russian ex-President of Ukraine, horrified at the extravagant opulence, all stolen from the Ukrainian people. “How did you let him get away with this?” Oliver asked his friend. “Well, actually you're technically in London, not Ukraine, right now,” his friend responded. Who is corrupt, the people who stole the money, or the lawyers, bankers, and accountants in countries that tout their lack of corruption? Oliver describes the systems in place to help the wealthy dodge taxes and the deeply corrupt to hide their theft. Kim and Oliver talk about the corrosive effect on our political institutions and our economy; and how we got here in the post-WWII era.    Guest Background: Oliver Bullough is a journalist and author from Wales who writes about financial crime, the former Soviet Union, and offshore skulduggery. He lives near Hay-on-Wye, and has previously lived in London, Moscow, St Petersburg and Bishkek.  When not working, he likes watching rugby, cooking pizzas, swimming in the river and walking in the hills.  You can find him on Twitter at @oliverbullough.

CoinDesk's The Policy Protocol hosts Rebecca Rettig and Renato Mariotti dig into the New York Times investigation of the CFTC and Kalshi's latest lawsuit against Minnesota before sitting down with Aaron Klein, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
