The Laundry

In this industry, we’re constantly told that financial criminals are 'one step ahead' – but what if the very systems we built to stop them are actually giving them the lead?

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Oliver Bullough, author of Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won, to ask: Have we got anti-money laundering all wrong?

The pair discuss: the biggest flaws in the current system, a world tour that connects Bicester Village, Texas, and the Marshall Islands, and do we just give up the fight against the bad actors?

America remains the ultimate trend setter – and that goes for regulation and law enforcement.

Which is why you should not be ignoring FinCEN’s new guidance on SARs that is stripping back and relaxing some of the box ticking exercises in favour of a risk-based approach.

Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Guy Huber, Principal at FS Vector, to ask: Is the USA giving up on SARs?

The pair discuss: What these SARs changes mean in practice for compliance teams, how this fits into wider AML regulation changes from the US, and whether the rest of the world will follow America's example.

Oslo is the centre of global attention this week as the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was presented, in absentia, to Maria Corina Machado – for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.
