Combating the Illicit Economy: David M. Luna

From smuggling and trafficking to cyber fraud and trade-based money laundering, the illicit economy is estimated to represent more than $2 trillion of illegal activity annually. And the international criminal networks that drive the illicit economy have continued to evolve and grow more sophisticated with every operation. This shadow economy is massive and its real-life consequences are widespread resulting in deaths by overdose, violence in communities, and government destabilization. David M. Luna is a true expert on the illicit economy. He is the Founder and Executive Director of the International Coalition Against Illicit Economies (ICAIE). He also held senior positions with the U.S. State Department and at the White House. and has worked internationally with the Organization of Econ and Dev. And the UN.

Foreign Threats & Information Warfare: Dr. Ivana Stradner | Coercive Capital

Foreign adversaries’ weaponization of information is nothing new. Still, the means and modes by which rogue nations use disinformation, propaganda, and cyber-attacks to influence American public opinion are increasingly worrisome – weakening democracy, weaponizing free speech, and polarizing citizens in ways they may not recognize - like in Russia, Iran and China where governments have built a global apparatus sowing discord and a growing anti-west narrative. Dr. Ivana Stradner is a renowned security expert and Research Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Barish Center for Media Integrity, where her work examines both the psychological and technical aspects of Russian information warfare. Coercive Capital host Elaine Dezenski recently spoke with Dr. Stradner about what she describes as the “covert war for American Minds.” Coercive Capital’s Proud Sponsors: In the fast-paced world of fraud detection & compliance, speed and accuracy equals efficiency.

Confronting Kleptocracy: Zoë Reiter | Coercive Capital

Transnational kleptocracy describes how corrupt rulers steal public funds and then launder those funds within the international financial system. It's accomplished by moving those funds from fragile states to “safer” jurisdictions—like the U.S. Many of America’s foreign adversaries operate as kleptocracies and cutting off their illicit financial flows weakens their impact on free and open societies across the globe. Anti-corruption organizations worldwide are increasingly focused on rooting out the kleptocrats, their funds, their networks, their shell corporations, and their facilitators. One such organization, the National Endowment for Democracy, is an independent, bipartisan, non-governmental organization focused on strengthening democratic institutions worldwide. Zoë Reiter is the Director of NED’s program on combating kleptocracy. She recently spoke with Coercive Capital host Elaine Dezenski on her work and efforts to bolster the role of a civil society in exposing the networks of kleptocrats. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Coercive Capital’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.

Identity is Everything: Amit Sharma | Coercive Capital

The evolution and modernization of how we manage and protect identity has moved into a new era. More than two decades after the tragic events of 9/11- when 19 hijackers used falsified identity documents to board planes, US travelers over the age of 18 will now be required to present a REAL ID compliant form of identification to board an aircraft, or access certain types of federal facilities Identity verification is also at the core of Know Your Customer requirements. And it’s why financial services providers are a key stakeholder in the evolution of digital identity. Furthermore, new digital identity infrastructure has the potential to put the customer at the center of a user-based system that will help individuals retain their personal data and reduce the risk of fraud, identity theft and account takeover. Coercive Capital host, Elaine Dezenski recently spoke with Amit Sharma, Founder and CEO of FinClusive, about the concept of sovereign ownership of identity and the integrity of personal data as a fundamental human right.

Coercive Capital: The Corruption Continuum - Scott Greytak & Casey Michel

In the 1970s, corruption in the U.S was often not considered a problem. Or it was viewed as a problem that happened “over there”.... in other parts of the world. But in retrospect, the reality and our perception of corruption has changed. And even though anti-corruption legislation like the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was implemented to help combat the issue, corruption continues and grows in ways that no one could have predicted. Kleptocrats around the world are uniting to attack us- in Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea, and Iran- use their power to attack their neighbors, and destabilize the global economy… allowing dictators and criminals to leverage our own system against us – hiring lobbyists, lawyers, and corporate service agents to influence our elections, buy off our politicians, move dirty money, compromise our economy, and weaken our resilience. To help understand the urgency of these new risks and the tools needed to protect America, democracy, and, maybe, the world, Coercive Capital host Eliane Dezenski speaks with Scott Greytak, the Director of Advocacy of Transparency International US, and Casey Michel, Director of the Combating Kleptocracy Program at the Human Rights Foundation.

Coercive Capital: Networks that Fuel the Fentanyl Crisis - Ray Donovan

The ongoing fentanyl crisis in America shows few signs of abating. Roughly 200 people per day, more than 75,000 Americans per year, lose their lives due to fentanyl use. But how do we stem the tide and reverse this trend? Examining the epidemic through an economic and financial lens helps us identify those who benefit from fentanyl production and distribution. In other words, we need to follow the money. Chinese underground money laundering networks and manufacturers of precursor chemicals ensure that criminal networks get paid and that chemicals flow to the Mexican cartels producing and distributing fentanyl. These illicit actors take huge profits and degrade American society in the process. Ray Donovan is a 28-year veteran of the DEA, serving as its Head of Operations, and a leading voice helping us understand and expose the vast criminal and money-laundering networks that support the fentanyl trade and how we can counter China’s overt strategy to wage war on America through fentanyl. Ray joined Coercive Capital host Elaine Dezenski for a deep dive on the networks that fuel the fentanyl crisis in the U.S.
