    102: Are we fighting financial crime, or just ticking boxes?

    Live from the Ministry of Sound in London! What if we could combine all the knowledge from our industry into one powerful source? Connecting all that expertise, years of career experience, all those war stories, and secret knowledge together. We used AI to compress 60 hours of podcasting, 80 experts, and 360,000 words of conversation into one AML Megamind AI. Then we put it to the test against the experts! Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Chloe Cina of RUSI, Jessica Cath of Thistle Initiatives, and Mitch Trehan of Allica Bank. The panel discuss three provocative statements: "the compliance industry is more focused on box-ticking than truly fighting financial crime", "sanctions are great for headlines - but criminals use them as a roadmap", and "AI hasn't stopped criminals—it’s just made their jobs easier".

    After fourteen years of the Conservative party, July’s general election saw a huge swing to Labour – who pledged to provide a different kind of politics. New UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, recently reached the milestone of 100 days in charge – which means it’s time to look at what has been achieved so far. Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Helena Wood, Director of Public Policy and Strategic Engagement at Cifas to ask: What impact has the new UK Government had on financial crime and compliance?  The pair discuss: the significant changes under Keir Starmer’s time in charge, the biggest challenges of the first 100 days when it comes to compliance, sanctions, and regulation, and what we can expect going forward.

    We live in one of the most complex and toughest times for sanctions regimes, ever! Global conflicts have led to big political decisions which impact regimes, banks, businesses, and ordinary people too.

We’re back in the classroom with our unlikely Professor of Criminology, ChatGPT, to find out.  Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Robin Lycka, Solutions Architect at Strise, to ask: Can ChatGPT teach me to evade sanctions? The pair discuss: coaxing information using techniques from gentle questioning to fictional nations, who benefits from this information, and what action we need to see from OpenAI to shut this down.

    E97:  Everything you need to know about transaction screening

    Transaction screening is like extra second of bullet time you see movies – where the action hero moves in slow-motion as everything whizzes around them. It’s that split-second before a transaction goes through, which could be the difference between stopping criminals washing their funds through your payments platform, or not.

    E96: How a jailed CEO has rocked Sweden’s banking sector

    Former Swedbank chief executive, Birgitte Bonnesen, is facing 15 months in prison after being convicted of spreading misleading information about the bank’s money laundering problems in Estonia. The conviction ties into one of Europe’s biggest money-laundering scandals where both Swedbank and Denmark’s Danske Bank were alleged to have allowed Russian oligarchs and criminals to move money through their Baltic branches and into the western financial system.  So with an incredibly senior figure from Sweden’s oldest bank now potentially facing prison time – is this crisis averted? Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Axel Humlesjö, Reporter at SVT and author of ‘The Honey Trap’, to discuss: how this story was uncovered by journalists in Sweden, the impact of Birgitte Bonnesen’s sentencing, and whether this is the *end* of Russia's attempt to infiltrate Sweden's institutions.
