Event Synopsis:

The Federal Banking Agencies (FBA) continue to focus attention on enforcement of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and U.S. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws. Concomitantly, banks and other financial institutions are facing new, complex, onerously challenging, and often contradictory regulatory, supervisory, auditory, and compliance challenges. BSA/AML enforcement by the FBAs and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) have increased dramatically to try and control the ever increasing flood of illegal activities.

For several years, financial institutions have understood the need to identify, mitigate, manage, and report potential or actual Anti-Money Laundering transactions undertaken through their organizations. Yet, the on-going global and national effort to combat money laundering is a never-ending battle against often ingenious white collar criminals, hoodlums, and dangerous gangs constantly trying to find new ways to cash in on their illegal activities. Hand in hand with the flood of illegal activities, the regulators have increased the frequency and severity of sanctions on individuals, companies, and organizations.

Yet, despite all the efforts and enormous expenditures of money and personnel, the battle is almost futile. The consequences of compliance failure can be devastating even to a large bank. For example, Banamex (Citicorp) was fined $140 million in California for not having enough 'qualified and knowledgeable' fraud and anti-money laundering staff! Rather than comply, Citigroup closed all branches in California and Texas. In 2012, HSBC payed almost $1.9 billion in fines for allegations of money laundering through its Mexican subsidiary. It is a far greater challenge for smaller financial institutions to monitor and mitigate money laundering and to comply with all the regulations of numerous agencies. Recently, two individuals set up a collectors club to launder money from 83 million cracked accounts of JPMorgan Chase via Bitcoin transactions done through a small New Jersey credit union that they took over.
