EIGHTEEN months in, it's perhaps not a shocker to hear that the shipping industry is still struggling with the complexities of the ever-evolving sanctions compliance regime they find themselves navigating. But the geopolitical realities of the situation that lies ahead are now starting to hit home. Shipping is trading in an increasingly bi-polar political environment and while no risk analyst worth talking to is going to target their crystal ball settings beyond a five year horizon, there was a general consensus yesterday inside the Lloyds building during London International Shipping Week discussions, that Russia-focussed sanctions are here for the next 5-10 years minimum. The genie is not going back in the bottle on this one. Shipping can only expect the compliance complexities to increase from here on. So in today's edition of the podcast we are exploring what that really means. When we say we're entering a bi-polar political world does that genuinely mean that shipping is going to have to take sides in where it is prepared to trade? We're talking about sanctions here of course, but this is more than simply looking at what trades you can and can't do. Sanctions are a foreign policy weapon and the financial and technical services that underpin shipping have been politicised certainly, arguably weaponised. That process has reduced the markets that insurers, lawyers and banker can offer services to. It has reduced the parts that ships can access and the safety and maintenance service required to keep the global fleet afloat. And it's also see a significant number of traders move away from the mainstream scrutiny of those well established bodies and rules that the industry has fought so hard to establish over the past 30-40 years. This is not just about sanctions – this is about the global rules based order that shipping relies on crumbling before our eyes. Speaking on today's edition: • Mike Salthouse, Head of external affairs, NorthStandard P&I • Dr Dominick Donald, Senior advisor, Herminius • Eleanor Midwinter, Partner Wikborg Rein • Cathrine Lagerberg, Risk Advisory Senior Manager, Deloitte

In 2001, Goldman Sachs economist Jim O'Neill coined the term “BRIC” to describe the fast-growing economies that he predicted would collectively dominate the global economy by 2050. The BRIC countries he was referring to were Brazil, Russia, India, and China. After a series of high-level meetings that included officials from the four countries, the BRIC grouping was founded in 2009. The following year, South Africa joined, and the name became “BRICS”. Last month, the fifteenth BRICS summit was held in Johannesburg. In addition to the leaders of the five core countries, representatives from more than 60 countries attended, and six were officially invited to join the club: Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.How does the BRICS serve China's foreign policy objectives? And is this expansion a major win for Xi Jinping? Is BRICS likely to become a global grouping of authoritarian countries that poses a challenge to the G-7 group of democracies – and is that what Beijing wants? To discuss these topics and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Colleen Cottle, deputy director of the Atlantic Council's Global China Hub. Prior to joining the Atlantic Council, she spent over a dozen years at the Central Intelligence Agency where she worked on East and South Asia.  Timestamps[01:45] What has BRICS achieved? [05:33] China Driving the BRICS Agenda[08:35] Where does BRICS fit into China's foreign policy agenda? [10:53] Why has BRICS refrained from endorsing BRI?[12:53] Outcomes of Johannesburg Summit[15:18] Criteria for Expanding BRICS Membership[18:19] Potential for BRICS Disrupting the International Order[23:52] China as a Developing Country[26:56] Will we see any breakthroughs with BRICS?  

Companies must take a proactive approach to sanctions and export control compliance to mitigate potential risks. This includes implementing rigorous compliance programs, cooperating with the DOJ, and promptly disclosing and remedying violations. In this episode of Corruption, Crime and Compliance, Michael Volkov explores the latest joint compliance notice issued by the DOJ, Department of Commerce, and Department of the Treasury. This notice provides crucial guidelines on voluntary disclosure for sanctions and export control violations, shedding light on the increasing enforcement of such controls. He discusses the intricate relationship between sanctions enforcement and the FCPA and offers a keen understanding of how businesses can safeguard their interests and comply with global standards.You'll hear Michael talk about:The landscape of sanctions enforcement is rapidly evolving, with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Security Division designating 25 prosecutors to handle sanctions compliance violations. Corporate resolutions are becoming the driving force behind settlement processes, and these resolutions could become significant revenue streams for the DOJ. In light of these developments, companies must prioritize sanctions and export control compliance to mitigate potential risks.The DOJ's Joint Criminal Enterprise (JCE) Guidance provides a detailed guideline for voluntary disclosures of possible violations. The JCE Guidance emphasizes the importance of prompt disclosure and swift remediation after uncovering potential violations. Generally, the DOJ will not seek prosecution if a company fully discloses a violation, cooperates wholeheartedly, and takes remedial actions. However, this is not a blanket assurance; aggravating factors such as widespread criminal activity or attempts by upper management to conceal violations can influence this stance.Voluntary self-disclosure is not merely a bureaucratic step; it can potentially be a shield, allowing companies to significantly reduce or even bypass criminal liability. Full cooperation entails timely preservation of pertinent documents, streamlined witness interviews, and proactive identification of avenues for in-depth DOJ investigation.Implementation of rigorous compliance programs, complemented by suitable disciplinary actions, can tilt the scales in favor of companies during evaluations. The JCE Guidance underscores recent modifications to the disclosure and enforcement policies adopted by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Notably, the BIS has ramped up penalties for companies that remain tight-lipped about significant potential violations. The efficacy of a compliance program, particularly its prowess in identifying and rectifying compliance gaps, plays a monumental role in BIS case resolutions.KEY QUOTES“Companies are about to face aggressive, coordinated prosecutions for sanctions and export control violations.” - Michael Volkov“[The] DOJ noted that a prompt, voluntary self disclosure provides a means for a company to reduce, and in some cases, avoid altogether, the potential for criminal liability moving forward, where a company voluntarily self discloses potentially criminal violations, fully cooperates, and timely and appropriately remediates the violations.” - Michael Volkov“The existence, nature, and adequacy of a company's compliance program, including its success at self identifying and rectifying compliance gaps, is itself considered a factor under settlement guidelines.” - Michael VolkovResources:Michael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law GroupDepartments of Justice, Commerce and Treasury Issue Joint Compliance Note on Voluntary Self-Disclosure of Potential Violations

Earlier this week, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and four co-authors published a paper describing a smart contract protocol called privacy pools that would enable crypto users to associate their funds with those being used for legitimate purposes versus those being used in criminal activity such as hacks or money laundering. The protocol addresses one of the main shortcomings of coin mixer Tornado Cash, which has been sanctioned by the U.S. government.  Chainalysis chief scientist Jacob Illum, one of those co-authors, discusses the impetus for the paper, the technology behind privacy pools and how they would work in practice, who would provide some of the necessary organization to operate the pools, and some of the early criticisms of the paper.

Chip War: How semiconductors became the new oil with Chris MillerSemi-conductors, microchips, are the new oil - the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. This has only accelerated with the emergence of AI. Yet, the supply chain is incredibly concentrated with just a handful of countries and companies dominating.  As with oil in the previous century, chips sit at the center of geopolitics, great-power rivalry and trade, especially between the US and China. How did chips become some crucial and their supply chains so concentrated and what does it mean for all our futures? Our guest is economic historian Chris Miller, author of Chip War - The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology, the New York Times best seller.

The International Crisis Group issued a report on the impact of sanctions on peacemaking. John and Elliot discuss critical insights in the report. They also examine whether or not sanctions against Russia have been effective and several other news items of the week.

North Korea attempted to put a military spy satellite into orbit but failed for the second time in three months last week. NK News Senior Analytic Correspondent Colin Zwirko talks through what's known about the launch, as well as South Korea's not-so-successful civil defense drill and state media's report on North Koreans overseas returning home for the first time since 2020. Then, Eric Penton-Voak, former head of the U.N. Panel of Experts overseeing North Korea sanctions, joins the podcast to talk about how the panel puts together its biannual reports on violations of the DPRK sanctions regime. Penton-Voak discusses how the reports are drafted, the “internal tensions” that come with this process and how to decipher the final versions. Eric Penton-Voak served as coordinator of the U.N. Panel of Experts from 2021 to 2023. Prior to that, he worked in the British Foreign Ministry for almost 30 years. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot (@JaccoZed) exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Government indicted Tornado Cash developers Roman Storm and Roman Semenov for three counts of conspiracy involving a staggeringly large number: $1 billion in criminal proceeds. The U.S. Department of Justice attached North Korean hackers to a large portion of this sum, alleging that Tornado's privacy tech enabled nefarious deeds. Amanda Tuminelli, chief legal officer of the DeFi Education Fund, joins the show to assess whether the U.S. Government got it right or is merely misguided in its understanding of how blockchain technology works. Should Tornado Cash devs be held to account for the criminal use of their software? Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform. Show highlights: why the U.S. Government says the cofounders of Tornado Cash facilitated money laundering what the difference is between the concealment of potential proceeds of a crime versus the facilitation of that crime why Amanda believes that if the government understood the technology they wouldn't be making these allegations whether the charges and the indictment will have implications for all software developers whether these allegations could mark the “end of DeFi” in the U.S. whether front-end applications in DeFi will need to mandate KYC checks for all users how the charges appear to contradict earlier FinCEN guidance how the DOJ will use the involvement of North Korean hackers to “make it look bad” for the jury what the future of the case will look like and whether there will be a motion to dismiss the indictment Thank you to our sponsors!
