BSA Deep Dive – November 2023

Description

We are in the month of Thanksgiving, and I am thankful for all BSA/AML professionals and Fraud Fighters out there doing their best to keep your financial institution safe from financial crimes of all sorts.

For November’s BSA Deep Dive we will be covering Chinese money laundering techniques and red flag indicators, a report entitled “From Prison Gang to Transnational Criminal Enterprise”, the FinCEN alert on Hamas, and FinCEN’s NPRM that identifies international Convertible Virtual Currency Mixing (CVC mixing) as a class of transactions of primary money laundering concern. We will also include lessons from one Consent Order from the FRB for Metropolitan Commercial Bank and two Consent Orders from the FDIC for Loyal Trust Bank and Citizens Bank & Trust Company.
