Geopolitics, Crypto Risks, and AML Shake‑Ups: What’s Driving Compliance This Week

Geopolitics, Crypto Risks, and AML Shake‑Ups: What’s Driving Compliance This Week

This week, Elliot and John unpack a whirlwind of global developments impacting financial crime compliance. They break down a major OCCRP report on how Russia, North Korea, and Iran are exploiting cryptocurrency for sanctions evasion and illicit finance—alongside new Chainalysis insights on post-strike crypto movements in Iran. The conversation explores FATF’s latest reports on stablecoins, cyber-enabled fraud, and the evolving risk-based approach. On the U.S. regulatory front, they cover the effective date of FinCEN’s residential real estate reporting rule, the OCC’s proposed stablecoin framework under the GENIUS Act, and the ongoing debate over rollbacks to the Corporate Transparency Act. Across the Atlantic, they examine the FCA’s push to strengthen AML supervision for professional bodies. The episode also examines the liquidation of Swiss bank MBaer under U.S. enforcement pressure and amid concerns about recent counterintelligence cuts.
