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.

For a long time, financial crime prevention has been a massive issue for banks. This is because of several often complex navigation around rules and regulations, such as AML, KYC, CTF, and SAR. However, a bigger issue has emerged. As more and more transactions happen and financial crime networks get smarter, the bigger problem is the way banks handle data.In the recent conversation on the Don't Panic It's Just Data podcast, host Herb Blecher, Research Director, Data and Analytics, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), sat down with guest Manish Andhy, Financial Services AI & Industry Executive at Teradata.They talked about how criminal enterprises are changing fast, like the internet, while compliance systems are still using old methods. Andhy tells Blecher, "The difference between how fast criminals can change and how slow compliance systems are is a big weakness."More than $3 trillion in money moves through the global financial system every year, but only a small part of it is caught. Banks have spent a lot of time and money building systems to stop money laundering. Many of them still have separate systems for onboarding, transaction monitoring, investigations and risk management.The strange thing is that big financial institutions have already spent a lot of money to solve this problem. They built data warehouses to get rid of systems and data lakes to put all the information in one place. In fact, they often created the same separate systems they were trying to get rid of.Also Watch: What is AI Hyper-Personalisation in CX and Why Does it Matter?TakeawaysOver $3 trillion of illicit funds moves through the global financial system annually.Only about 1% of illicit funds are detected or intercepted.AML programs have grown in a fragmented, siloed way across enterprises.The pace of change in compliance has historically been slow.Traditional rule-based systems generate enormous amounts of false positive alerts.Data silos persist due to organizational and technology issues.Data products allow for a unified view of data without creating new silos.Generative AI can automate parts of the compliance process.Financial institutions must treat data as a strategic asset.Compliance can inform broader business decisions beyond regulatory obligations.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Financial Crime and Data Analytics05:06 Challenges in Financial Crime Compliance10:05 Data Silos and Their Impact15:12 The Concept of Data Products19:57 Modernizing Financial Crime Strategies24:59 Conclusion and Key TakeawaysFor more information on financial crime and how financial institutions should manage their data securely and compliantly, follow Terada across its official channels:Website: Teradata YouTube: @TeradataLinkedIn: @TeradataX: @TeradataFor more information on enterprise tech analyst-led insights, please visit em360tech.com EM360Tech YouTube: @enterprisemanagement360EM360Tech LinkedIn: @EM360TechEM360Tech X: @EM360Tech#Teradata #FinancialCrime #AML #Compliance #DataStrategy #AIinBanking #FinTech #DataSilos #DataManagement #DonTPanicItsJustData #EM360Tech #B2BMarketing #B2BPodcasts

Welcome to episode 270 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, the UK amends its Russia sanctions list with administrative variations and corrections for three individuals, while OFAC designates individuals and entities associated with Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood financial networks. Concurrently, the European Union adopted its 21st sanctions package against Russia, expanding them across all fronts. Finally, in economic crime developments, a University of Manchester study published in the Journal of Economic Criminology examines the National Economic Crime Centre, highlighting how systemic tensions, digital infrastructure gaps, and multi-agency resource constraints continue to hamper the UK's coordinated response to financial crime.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.

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.

Oliver Bullough has written three books on how dirty money moves around the world. His single biggest finding is so low-tech it almost sounds like a joke. Jason Sandoval, former DEA special agent and Asset Reality's Head of European Operations, spent thirty years chasing the same problem. One investigated it, the other wrote about it. Together, they unpack why the global system for tackling money laundering is not working and what it would take to build something that does.⏱️ Timestamps02:30 – Money laundering as a meta-crime13:00 – Carousel fraud and what a mission-led response looks like24:00 – High-denomination banknotes and who is actually using them29:30 – Operation Destabilise and cash-for-crypto35:00 – Political will vs operational realities40:10 – Asset recovery as a fourteen-point swing42:20 – Oliver's prescription

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

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.

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.

Andrew Davies has spent more than three decades fighting financial crime, starting with sanctions screening tools for central banks in the mid-1990s and arriving at ComplyAdvantage after nearly 16 years at Fiserv. He sits at the center of one of the most consequential questions in financial services: can we finally move the needle on financial crime detection after decades of catching less than 2% of what's laundered globally? ComplyAdvantage serves more than 3,000 enterprises across 75 countries with its AI-native Mesh platform. If you want to learn more about the founding story and their early days, check out my podcast with founder Charlie Delingpole from 2019.What We CoveredWhy the industry has historically caught less than 2% of money laundered globallyHow the money laundering economy ranks as the world's third largest at an estimated $5.6 trillionThe evolution from sanctions screening to FRAML to multi-dimensional financial crime riskThe Mesh platform and what a unified financial crime system means for compliance teamsCassie, the agentic AI analyst automating customer screening investigationsHow 90% of compliance work was historically spent chasing false positivesReal-time payments compliance and the risk-based approach to payment screeningThe SEPA Instant Payments challenge and batch screening against the EU journalStablecoins, unhosted wallets, and the compliance infrastructure gapFATF's finding that stablecoins represent 84% of illicit crypto transaction volumeData sharing consortiums as the next inflection point in fighting financial crimeThe network problem at the heart of money laundering and terrorist financingKey TakeawaysThe money laundering economy is estimated at $5.6 trillion, making it the third largest in the world, above Germany, yet we detect less than 2%. Agentic AI tools like Cassie are designed to eliminate false positives so human analysts only work cases that genuinely warrant their expertise. Data sharing consortiums, where organizations contribute to shared detection models, represent the most promising path to materially improving financial crime outcomes. Stablecoins create real compliance risk at the unhosted wallet layer, the Bank of England has floated a ban, while the US is unlikely to go that route, leaving a gap.About Andrew DaviesAndrew Davies is the Global Head of Financial Crime Compliance Strategy at ComplyAdvantage.

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. Klein argues that independent financial regulators have been turned into "subsidiaries of the White House," warns that the CFTC is not structurally up to the jurisdiction CLARITY would hand it, and makes the case that the SEC and CFTC should be merged. He also unpacks lessons from Dodd-Frank and the savings-and-loan crisis.

In this episode of “Financial Crime Matters,” Kieran talks with Joseph Salama, chief compliance officer at Coinbase, about mitigating financial crime risk associated with digital assets. Joe discusses current regulatory frameworks for crypto currencies, touching on the Stablecoin Act, Europe's Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) and some current proposals for oversight, arguing that the industry needs clear guardrails, not regulation by enforcement action. Proper regulation, he says, will produce enough friction to help identify and interdict illicit transactions, give crypto users confidence in digital markets, and minimize roadblocks to legitimate crypto asset transactions. With cryptocurrency an increasingly important component in money laundering schemes, Joe envisions holistic oversight of transactions that breaks down walls between traditional financial institutions and digital asset service providers, while expressing optimism a convergence of both is already underway and will only grow.

In this episode of AML Conversations, host Elliot Berman sits down with Abhishek Mittal, Executive Vice President and Chief Product & AI Officer at AML RightSource, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the financial crime prevention landscape. Abhishek makes a compelling case that domain experts are more valuable than ever — not despite AI, but because of it — as they become essential architects of the taxonomies, context, and judgment that make AI systems reliable and auditable. The conversation covers how organizations can effectively blend domain knowledge with AI engineering, why guardrails must be built on a foundation of sound architecture rather than technology alone, and what it really takes to get your data ready for AI. Abhishek also addresses the blurring line between services and software, and closes with a myth-busting take on what AI can and can't do — including why equating large language models with AI itself may be the industry's biggest misconception today.

OnJune 7, 2021, Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife Maggie and his son Paul at the family's Moselle hunting lodge in Colleton County, South Carolina. In 2023, a jury convicted him of that crime. The state introduced evidence of Murdaugh's many financial crimes at the trial. After overturning Murdaugh's conviction based on jury tampering concerns, the South Carolina Supreme Court also weighed in on the trial court's decision to allow the jury to hear evidence of Murdaugh's financial crimes.Check out our upcoming book events and get links to buy tickets here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/eventsPre-order our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Check out more inclusive sizing and t-shirt and merchandising options here: https://themurdersheet.dashery.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.This message is sponsored by Greenlight.It's always scary when somebody tries to scam your family.

Before the retrial even starts, the Murdaugh defense has to make a decision that could determine the outcome. Do they fight to exclude financial crimes evidence entirely — and risk the judge letting it all back in under the motive exception? Or do they let it in on their terms and attack the connection between a man stealing money and a man allegedly killing his wife and son? Defense attorney Eric Faddis says that strategic fork is the first and most consequential call the defense team has to make.The South Carolina Supreme Court ordered prosecutors to limit financial evidence at retrial to material directly supporting the motive theory. They flagged specific testimony from the first trial as having zero probative value — details about individual theft victims that made Murdaugh look like a monster but had no connection to why he would allegedly commit murder on June 7th, 2021. The State's motive theory survives only through the exposure timeline: the CFO confrontation the morning of the killings and the hearing scheduled three days later that would have forced financial disclosure.Faddis also walks through the evidentiary challenges the Supreme Court left unresolved. The firearm analysis. The blue raincoat. The gunshot residue testimony. The iPhone demonstration that placed Murdaugh at the kennels. He identifies which one gives the defense its strongest argument and explains why the prosecution may face a fundamentally different case the second time — one where the emotional leverage that drove the first conviction is no longer available.The reversal itself was unanimous. Five justices found Becky Hill tampered with the jury, Toal applied the wrong legal standard, and the court overruled its own precedent to adopt the Cheek test. AG Wilson confirmed the State will retry. Murdaugh remains incarcerated on financial convictions.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution spent twelve and a half hours presenting Alex Murdaugh's financial crimes to the jury at his murder trial. The South Carolina Supreme Court just said that was excessive — and any retrial has to cut it down significantly. The question is whether the State can build the same emotional momentum without the parade of individual theft victims who made Murdaugh look terrible but had no direct connection to why he would allegedly commit murder on June 7th, 2021.Defense attorney Eric Faddis breaks down what survives and what doesn't. The State's motive theory rests on a specific exposure timeline: the firm's CFO confronted Murdaugh about missing fees the morning of the killings, and an opposing attorney had a hearing scheduled three days later to force financial disclosure. That timeline can come back at retrial. The testimony about individual victims whose money Murdaugh allegedly stole — the emotional weight that made the jury despise him — likely cannot.Faddis also identifies a strategic fork the defense has to navigate before retrial even begins. Do you fight to keep the financial evidence out entirely and risk the judge letting it all back in? Or do you let it in on your terms and attack the link between financial fraud and murder — arguing that a man stealing money has no reason to kill his wife and son over it?He also addresses evidentiary challenges the Supreme Court left unresolved for retrial: the firearm analysis, the blue raincoat, the gunshot residue testimony, and the iPhone demonstration that placed Murdaugh at the kennels.

Some kids from Jersey go down the Shore. Tom Mangine went to West Point, then to the Balkans, then Haiti, then Africa, then Chile — and somehow managed to be on the ground every time history got loud.   Reviews are the lifeblood of independent podcasts. If TP&R belongs in more people's ears, here's how you make that happen: Apple Podcasts: Rate & Review on Apple Spotify: Rate on Spotify   Thomas Mangine grew up in Manalapan, New Jersey — Springsteen country — and went on to spend three decades doing work most of us only encounter in spy thrillers. A West Point graduate, U.S. Army officer, intelligence professional, and financial crimes investigator, Tom has worked across six continents and visited 87 countries. He has tracked money for terrorists, investigated organ trafficking and corruption in professional sports, advised major financial institutions on predictive compliance, and taught financial crime investigation to military and civilian professionals across dozens of countries. He is a certified instructor with both the Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists (ACFCS) and the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS).   This one's a little different. Tom is a high school buddy, and we hit record in the middle of a conversation that had already started. What followed was nearly two hours of stories, insights, and the kind of frank talk you only get from someone who has no reason to perform for a camera.   Calls to Action ✅ If this conversation resonates, consider sharing it with someone who believes connection across difference still matters. ✅ Subscribe to Corey's Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com ✅ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen: ratethispodcast.com/goodfaithpolitics ✅ Subscribe to Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other on your favorite podcast platform. ✅ Watch the full conversation and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion   Key Takeaways From Manalapan to the world's pressure points. Growing up in a central Jersey town full of World War II veterans, Holocaust survivors' grandchildren, and teachers who took their students seriously shaped Tom's sense of civic obligation well before West Point entered the picture. The community you grow up in sets the frame for what you think is worth doing.   Arabic, Kuwait, and the value of obscure skills. Tom chose to study Arabic at West Point when almost no one else was. Within a year, Saddam Hussein had invaded Kuwait and suddenly everyone wanted to know who spoke Arabic. The lesson: depth in an unfashionable area compounds.   What George H.W. Bush actually understood. Tom's instructor at West Point, Colonel Richard Augustus Norton — a Vietnam vet who had also served in Lebanon and learned both Farsi and Arabic — explained to his cadets exactly why the first Bush did not drive to Baghdad. Occupying it would have meant a decade of entanglement. A decade later, Tom watched those predictions come true in real time.   Learn what normal looks like before you can spot abnormal. From a South African tracker teaching Tom to read an empty watering hole as a threat indicator, to Secret Service agents training currency detection by feel rather than scanner, to teaching financial crime investigators to recognize patterns before they see violations — this is a through-line of Tom's entire career.   Predictive compliance versus retroactive compliance. When Tom moved into the private sector at the Bank of Montreal, his boss Andy Hoffman wanted something the financial industry rarely did: get ahead of problems instead of responding to them. Tom's military intelligence background — built on anticipating failure before it happens — turned out to be exactly the right preparation.   Bureaucracies eat good work. Tom spent two years writing threat assessments in Haiti, working 90-hour weeks, only to have a naval vessel show up with a 2003 report because his updates had been lost in the system. The same pattern repeated across Afghanistan, Ukraine, Belarus, and elsewhere. Institutional memory is not a given. Someone has to fight for it.   Being open to learning is harder than it sounds. Tom has trained professionals ranging from 20 to 55 years old across dozens of countries. The single hardest thing to teach is not technical knowledge. It is the willingness to actually revise what you already believe.   About Our Guest Thomas J.

In this episode of This Week in AML, John and Elliot cover a wide range of financial crime and compliance developments from around the globe. John opens by honoring the Foley Foundation's annual Freedom Awards dinner, recognizing the organization's vital work advocating for American hostages and journalist safety. The conversation then turns to Canada, with updates on a newly introduced bill to establish a Financial Crime Agency, a proposed ban on crypto ATMs, and recent FinTrac monetary penalties across the real estate, banking, and precious metals sectors. Internationally, they cover the FCA's preparations for the UK's new crypto asset regime taking full effect in 2027, Denmark's FSA referral of Nordea Bank to police over customer due diligence failures, and Europol's launch of a new EU anti-scam intelligence sharing platform. Back in the U.S., John highlights new research from the Anti-Corruption Data Collective on suspicious win rates in prediction market defense and military sectors, the retirement and recognition of Guy Fico, the passing of RICO statute architect Bob Blakey, and the Manhattan DA's return of over 650 antiquities to India. The episode closes with updates on the DOJ's decision to drop its investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, concerns over judicial nominees, and a preview of the AML Partnership Forum's upcoming May 28th webinar on financial access challenges domestically and globally.

This week, Mary and Andrew follow the money from Alabama to New York to Southern Florida. They start with an 11-count indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center alleging financial crimes and defrauding donors — the DOJ suggesting that the center's goal was to give funding to extremist groups rather than to report on them. The co-hosts find the charges dubious at best, with a speaking indictment that seems “weak” and lacks specifics. From there, they analyze another set of charges out of the SDNY against an Army soldier who won over $400,000 in online bets using his classified knowledge of the US capture of Nicolas Maduro. After reviewing the merits of that case, they head to Miami, where President Trump's civil suit against the IRS was put on pause to discern how to handle him being on both sides of the case. As Mary notes, the judge is asking Trump to essentially “show me we really have adverse parties here.”Then to DC, for a look at the charges filed against the alleged gunman in the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, and how the administration quickly used that as another reason to build the White House ballroom in an unusual court filing. And last up, Andrew and Mary review the DC Circuit's decision on Trump's asylum ban. This podcast is also available on YouTube at ms.now/mainjustice.
