Hi everyone. I'm in Europe working with institutions and organizations in the financial sector who are intent on improving the lines of defense to identify and combat the infusion of dirty money into the legitimate markets. Before embarking on this trip, I participated in a podcast and discussed these topics. The bottom line is that those with the opportunity to effect change in the financial markets must "dare to make a difference". I'm proud to say I've met many around the world who appear to me to be prepared to do just that. Here's a link to the podcast:

Today, American Banker published an article I wrote offering suggestions about how well-intended financial institutions can attempt to address what I call "Dual Brain Syndrome". Banks that suffer from this syndrome create a slippery slope that can contribute to serious failures and reputation risk. The suggestions in the article are offered as steps institutions should consider to facilitate a healthier corporate conscience.

To strengthen AML protections, strengthen sales practices
Banks need to ensure those building new business are driven to look for evidence of illegal activity.

THE VEILS OF SECRECY ARE BEGINNING TO FALL
Thanks to the bravery of journalists (like those within the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists - ICIJ), whistle blowers, and some sectors of law enforcement, the many veils of secrecy that have hidden the truth about tax cheats, drug traffickers, fraudsters, and corrupted officials are slowly beginning to fall. In this interview with Dr. Dave Janda we discuss some of both the good and bad news about exposing the fortunes of major criminal organizations:

Hi all. Below is a link to an article I wrote that is a "lead in" to a white paper that outlines what I think is the best way nations of the world can meaningfully identify and attack real money launderers. Many thanks to KYC360 for publishing the article and the white paper. Unfortunately, I'm not certain that governments and the central banks of the world have the will to follow the plan. I hope I'm wrong about that. If you click on the link below, it will take you to the article. Near the end of the article, you'll find a link to download the white paper. Keep fighting the good fight:
