“…my local bank can't arrest a predator, the law enforcement can't identify that predator without the local bank's help. So those partnerships are critical to law enforcement moving forward. It's one of the areas where AML efforts in general really have an opportunity to shine because this is different." ~ Adam Levine , Director of Government Engagement, Child Rescue Coalition, Inc. on the importance of public-private partnerships in combating online child exploitation. Watch this ACAMS Live clip where Adam shares an example of a successful partnership with a money services business which uncovered 200+ individuals involved in online sexual abuse, each with multiple victims!

🎖️🎖️🎖️The United States, China, and Australia have achieved remarkable success in the recent Paris Olympics 2024! In this episode of ACAMS Live, Craig Timm highlights that these same countries have been identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) as having the worst performance in anti-money laundering (AML) measures. 🔴 Gatekeepers such as lawyers, accountants, and real estate agents in these countries are failing to adequately mitigate the risks of financial crime. 🔴 Despite decades of warnings and regulations from the FATF, these countries have made minimal progress in addressing these critical AML risks, which contribute to crime and corruption. 🔴 It's time for a change. We need stronger AML regulations and enforcement to create a safer financial environment for everyone.
