    The Financial Crime Playbook: with Sarah Beth Felix | Designated

    When most walk into a bank, they deal with the public-facing staff. Bank tellers. Maybe a loan officer. But what many don’t realize is that there is a whole group of personnel behind the scenes, yet they are on the front line against financial crime. They are the anti-money laundering compliance staff. You don’t interact with them directly, but they’re the ones looking for signs of suspicious financial activity. Sara Beth Felix is an anti-money laundering expert and consultant who helps banks get their compliance act together.

    Scott Baucum’s official title at Bayer U.S. is Vice President of Special Compliance and Asset Protection.

    The Laundry Man: Ken Rijock | Designated

    Sometimes it takes a money launderer to catch a money launderer.    During the 1980’s, Ken Rijock was starting his career as a lawyer in Miami. But he soon found himself acting as a middleman between Colombian drug cartels and their expanding US network, helping launder illicit funds gathered through flooding cocaine onto America’s streets. By his account, he ended up “cleaning” about $200 million in drug cash. Eventually, Ken was caught, sentenced and served time in prison. However, upon his release, Ken was approached by government agents and made an offer to help their mission becoming an undercover informant.    Designated host Yaya Jata Fanusie recently spoke with Ken about his life’s journey and his experiences during the two distinctly opposite phases of his time as The Laundry Man. Working alongside drug dealers during his high-flying, money laundering days.. and the next phase of his life as the anti-money laundering financial crime fighter. Helping law enforcement detect who was trying to launder money and those who were committing the same crimes that Ken knew so well.    Designated’s Proud Sponsors: TRM offers leading blockchain intelligence for AML compliance at financial institutions, crypto businesses, and regulatory organizations alike - with sanctions support on 65 blockchains and coverage of more than 70 million digital assets.  In a recent customer survey, 85% of users agree that TRM accelerates their work. 92% of users agree that TRM provides actionable intelligence.

    The Financial Intelligence Enforcer: John A. Cassara | Designated

    The textbooks tell us financial intelligence is the process of gathering and analyzing financial activities in an effort to uncover threats or criminal dealings. But financial intelligence is more than just studying bank accounts and online transactions. To make an impact, financial intelligence requires bold, creative action in the real world. Perhaps no one is more suited to offer perspective on financial intelligence than John Cassara. John is a 26-year veteran of the US government’s efforts to take down financial criminals. During his time as a CIA Case Officer and a Treasury Special Agent at both the Secret Service and U.S. Customs Service, John conducted investigations into money laundering, smuggling, terrorist financing, and weapons trafficking throughout Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. He even went undercover as an arms dealer during a two-year detail to the US Customs Service. John recently spoke with Designated host Yaya Jata Fanusie and detailed how he parlayed his field experience as a collector of human intelligence in the CIA into the world of illicit finance investigations.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Designated’s Proud Sponsors: K2 Integrity is a global leader in risk management, compliance, investigations, and monitoring, combining the expertise of industry pioneers with interdisciplinary teams and advanced technology to protect our clients’ operations, reputation, and financial security.

    Defending the Whistleblower: Phil Brewster | Designated

    Have you ever met a corporate whistleblower? Most of us haven’t. They do make the subjects of great movies, though. There's intrigue, suspense, and high stakes.  And usually a happy ending. But what exactly happens in real life when someone high up in a company, privy to corporate secrets, witnesses illicit dealings in their midst? How does that process play out? And at what cost.. Personally and professionally? Designated host Yaya Jata Finuse recently spoke with Phil Brewster, an attorney whose specialty is helping clients who have decided to become whistleblowers. They discussed the real-life impacts of these high-stress investigations, which most often involve the personal stakes for the whistleblowers that Hollywood can’t fully convey.   Designated’s Proud Sponsors: TRM offers leading blockchain intelligence for AML compliance at financial institutions, crypto businesses, and regulatory organizations alike - with sanctions support on 65 blockchains and coverage of more than 70 million digital assets.  In a recent customer survey, 85% of users agree that TRM accelerates their work. 92% of users agree that TRM provides actionable intelligence.

    Designated - Mapping Illicit Business Networks: Varun Vira

    C4ADS- Center for Advanced Defense Studies- is a nonprofit that works to uncover illicit networks that threaten global peace and security through deep-dive investigations and intelligence analysis on data that may be publicly available, but hard to find. Through their investigative work, they’ve been able to map out secret business and real estate networks designed by corrupt military leaders in Sudan and unravel the multilayered supply chain enabling forced labor camps of Uyghurs in China. Varun Vira is the Executive Director of C4ADS.  He spoke with Designated  host Yaya Jata Fanusie about how his nimble organization is at the forefront of using open-source intelligence to shine the light on global networks trying to keep their dealings of dirty money and illicit operations in the dark.  C4ADS’s investigations have made a significant and material impact and the targets of their investigations have taken notice.  And although their efforts have become more necessary than ever, they come with tremendous risk.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
