Hello, and welcome to episode 174 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I'm Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, we look at US Treasury sanctions against a Houthi petroleum smuggling network and a clandestine North Korean IT worker network funding missile programmes. The UK's OFSI warned of rising sanctions evasion in the crypto sector, noting under-reporting and exposure to designated Russian, North Korean, and Iranian entities, while HM Treasury consults on streamlining civil sanctions enforcement. On money laundering, the EU's Cash Controls Regulation (EU) 2018/1672 was assessed as an efficient instrument against cross-border financial crime despite some challenges, and the Wolfsberg Group reaffirmed its commitment to a risk-based approach, emphasising proportionality and effectiveness. In bribery and corruption, a new UK-India trade deal includes comprehensive measures to combat bribery and promote transparency. For fraud, the SFO Director signalled a new era of aggressive corporate enforcement, leveraging new powers and technology for faster casework. Finally, the UK Government announced key research priorities to strengthen the fight against economic crime, and a major cybercrime forum administrator was arrested in Ukraine.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available by Monday at www.crimes.financial.
For review:1. Iran and E3 Nations (France, Germany, UK) meet in Turkey for nuclear talks.2. A ballistic missile launched at Israel Friday night by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen was intercepted by air defenses, the Israel Defense Forces said.There were no reports of impacts or injuries in the attack.3. Israel and Hamas Hostage & Ceasefire Talks Stall: Will Resume Next Week.4. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Friday that recognizing Palestinian statehood should be part of a wider plan for lasting security for Palestinians and Israelis, in an apparent split from France, which announced its plan to take the step already in September.5. US $4 Billion Military Financing to Poland.6. Germany and France will “clarify the situation” regarding their Future Combat Air System project by the end of the year. The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) is a joint program between France, Germany, and Spain to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet to replace their existing aircraft. 7. Japanese Patrol Aircraft Spots Chinese Submarine Support Ship Entering Sea of Japan.8. Defense News Opinion Article concerning Taiwanese Exercise Han Kuang 41.This year's joint, multidomain exercise expanded in length from five to 10 days, ran continuously, and included fighting in urban areas. In addition, the exercise featured several critical US-produced systems, including M1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks, M142 HIMARS, Patriot long-range air and missile defense systems, and man-portable Stinger missiles.
The tables have turned! In this crossover episode, Dr. Van Jackson gets interviewed by Jacob Shapiro of The Jacob Shapiro Podcast. Together they cover the enter landscape of geopolitics from a critical perspective: why the MAGA project of white nationalist social democracy cannot work; why Israeli primacy, not oil, explains US militarism in the Middle East; why the US doesn't want to fight the Houthis; how Japan failed to understand American politics; and the beginnings of a post-American Korean Peninsula.

This episode of the Lloyd's List Podcast was brought to you by Veson. Visit veson.com for more information. Moored off Yemen's coast, the FSO Safer is a decaying supertanker that could have spilled more than a million barrels of oil into the Red Sea. The result would have been an environmental, humanitarian and economic catastrophe. But the UN raised over $50 million to buy a replacement tanker and transfer the oil, only to then see the Houthis take control of both tankers and start using the replacement tanker as a platform to store sanctioned Russian oil. This is part two of the FSO Safer story, in which Lloyd's List editor-in-chief Richard Meade looks at the bigger picture of Houthi power in the Red Sea. Should we have seen this situation coming? And why does the world continue to underestimate the Houthis, despite repeated warnings from inside Yemen about their capabilities? Joining Richard on this week's podcast are: Nadwha Al-Dawsari, non-resident fellow at the Middle East Institute Ian Ralby, chief executive, IR Consilium
Tom Barrack, the US Ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria, has announced that a ceasefire between Israel and Syria; Egyptian officials are asking the United States to pressure Israel into allowing more humanitarian aid into Gaza; IDF struck military infrastructure belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime at the port of Hudaydah in Yemen.Israel Daily News website: https://israeldailynews.orgIsrael Daily News Roundtable: https://www.patreon.com/shannafuldSupport our Wartime News Coverage: https://www.gofundme.com/f/independent-journalist-covering-israels-warLinks to all things IDN: https://linktr.ee/israeldailynewsMusic:Eli Eli - Nicole Raviv and Ada Pasternak

This episode of the Lloyd's List Podcast was brought to you by Veson. Visit veson.com for more information. This is a story about a ship that has been used as a floating bomb, as political leverage, as an environmental threat. It's a story about how the international community was convinced into raising $50m to buy a group designated by the US government as terrorists, a ship, and how that ship is being used today to store sanctioned Russian cargoes. And it's a story about how an Islamist political organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s, that barely registered on even regional risk lists a few years ago, has been allowed to rapidly evolve into a powerful military organisation apparently able to defy the combined naval protection capabilities of the Western world. And it's a story about why that transformation is far from over — and why the threat to shipping is growing. Joining Richard Meade to tell the FSO Safer story are: • Ian Ralby, chief executive, IR Consilium • Tomer Raanan, risk analyst, Lloyd's List Read the original article by Tomer Raanan here: https://www.lloydslist.com/LL1154126/Exclusive-How-a-UN-purchased-tanker-became-a-Houthi-floating-storage-facility-for-Russian-oil

On October 6th, 2023, the eve of the October 7th attacks, Israel faced perhaps its most perilous strategic environment in half a century. Hamas was poised to launch its deadliest assault since the Yom Kippur War of 1973. To the north, Hezbollah boasted 100,000 trained fighters and an estimated arsenal of 120,000 missiles. Iran stood dominant, its nuclear weapons program advancing and its regional influence expanding, backed by the Houthis in Yemen, militias in Iraq, Assad in Syria, and its proxies in Gaza and Lebanon. This “Ring of Fire” encircled Israel, threatening overwhelming retaliation should it strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden was seen as a restraining force on any Israeli pre-emptive action.
Bill and Edmund Fitton‑Brown break down the post‑12‑day war chessboard: Houthis, Hezbollah, and Tehran's other proxies—what they've learned, and where to anticipate the next flashpoint.

Amid sustained regional conflict and global uncertainty, the Arab Gulf states are navigating a shifting economic and strategic landscape with surprising resilience. MEI Senior Fellow Karen Young joins hosts Alistair Taylor and Matthew Czekaj to break down the latest economic data and geopolitical developments affecting the Gulf economies — from the ripple effects of the Israel-Iran war and Houthi maritime threats to energy diversification and global investment strategies. Young unpacks the challenges and opportunities shaping the Gulf's economic resilience and explains what it all means for regional stability and growth. Recorded July 15th, 2025
The Department of Veterans Affairs' acting chief information officer doubled down on the agency's reshaping of its IT workforce, telling lawmakers in a Monday hearing that change is “challenging” but “necessary.” Eddie Pool told members of the House VA's subcommittee on technology modernization that the agency's Office of Information and Technology (OIT) is pushing forward with workforce reductions as the division increasingly turns to automation and other technology modernization efforts. “This reorganization, reallocation of positions, is designed to cut bureaucratic overhead, accelerate decision making and focus every OIT position on delivering secure, reliable and modern IT solutions to improve veterans' lives,” Pool said in opening remarks at the hearing. Subcommittee Chair Tom Barrett, R-Mich., lauded the VA OIT's “smarter, not bigger” strategy in its fiscal 2026 budget request, asking Pool if technology improvements can alleviate the need for manual, human processes. “Absolutely,” Pool responded. “It is about automating what we can automate.” In its fiscal 2026 budget, the VA OIT requested funding to support approximately 7,000 full-time equivalent employees, marking an 11.7% decrease from its fiscal 2025 budget request, according to Carol Harris, the director of information technology and cybersecurity for the Government Accountability Office. Former White House national security adviser Mike Waltz brushed aside criticisms Tuesday that he put sensitive military operations at risk by holding discussions about military strikes in a Signal group chat, claiming the app's use was authorized by the federal government's top civilian cyber agency. In a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Waltz — who has been nominated to represent the U.S. at the United Nations — was pressed about his short tenure as President Donald Trump's top national security official. In particular, he was grilled by Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., for his use of the end-to-end encrypted messaging application Signal to coordinate with other officials over airstrikes on Houthi rebels.While much of the initial attention was focused on Waltz adding journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat, national security experts were also aghast by government officials at the highest levels coordinating highly sensitive military operations using a free application. The incident is widely viewed as contributing to Waltz's departure just months after leaving Congress to take the role, and his subsequent shuffling to a new nomination at the U.N. “The use of Signal is not only … authorized; it was recommended in the Biden-era CISA guidance,” he said. Waltz was referencing a piece of 2024 guidance put out by CISA on mobile security. He later read from a portion of the guidance, which recommended using “only end-to-end encrypted communication” and to “adopt a free messaging application to secure communications that guarantees end to end encryption, particularly if you are a highly targeted individual, such as Signal or other apps.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

In this sweeping analysis, the speaker weaves together a narrative of escalating global conflict and internal division. At the center is China, portrayed as the hidden force behind Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Houthis' Red Sea attacks, and assassination plots against populist European leaders—all designed to expand Beijing's reach and cripple Western resolve. Meanwhile, back home, America faces what the speaker calls a “guerrilla civil war,” as left-wing activists, emboldened by political elites, violently target ICE agents and law enforcement to protect mass illegal immigration—allegedly essential for the Democrats' survival at the ballot box. With warnings of covert operations, compromised institutions, and the erosion of national sovereignty, the commentary frames the moment as an existential struggle on multiple fronts—one that will determine whether the United States can resist foreign influence, restore security, and reclaim democratic accountability.
These back-to-back monologues expose a worldview in which China has launched a multifront hidden war against the United States and its allies. The speaker argues that Beijing is circumventing tariffs by routing goods through dozens of countries and working through Iran and the Houthis to attack Western shipping, target U.S. naval forces, and undermine populist movements in Europe. At home, the narrative portrays an escalating “guerrilla civil war,” as left-wing activists allegedly intimidate ICE agents, exploit mass immigration as a political weapon, and attempt to terrorize law enforcement into submission. Blending geopolitical alarm with domestic outrage, the commentary paints a picture of coordinated threats abroad and within—driven by a Chinese quest for global dominance and enabled by U.S. political elites.
This intense monologue explores a sweeping theory that China is waging a hidden war against the United States and its allies by using Iran and the Houthis as proxies. The speaker details how China allegedly manipulates trade routes, assists attacks on Western naval forces, and attempts to assassinate populist leaders in Europe to protect its Belt and Road ambitions. It also claims China has infiltrated the Iranian nuclear program, weaponized economic leverage through tariffs, and is orchestrating violence against U.S. immigration enforcement. The transcript ends with fierce criticism of Democratic politicians and an urgent call to recognize this as a form of guerrilla warfare already underway.
The Houthis are back at it—sinking ships, killing civilians, and holding crews hostage in the Red Sea. Bill is joined by his FDD colleagues Bridget Toomey and Bradley Bowman to unpack the details and discuss why Iran-backed proxies keep getting away with it—including how the U.S. “ceasefire” deal may have emboldened them. Also: Where's Europe? And why does everyone seem more afraid of offending Tehran than protecting global shipping and freedom of navigation?
