Articles
In June, we examined Canada’s Border Bill, which promises tougher penalties and cash limits to fight illicit finance but could miss key opportunities for real impact. Next we looked at FATF grey listings and why relying on empirical data, not assumptions, is crucial for fighting terrorist financing. We broke down the hack of Iran’s Nobitex cryptocurrency exchange and what it means for its illicit finance and proxy networks. Jessica also appeared on Click Here Show discussing TRON, Tether, and terrorist financing. Lastly, we took a closer look at the Base, a neo-Nazi accelerationist group, focusing on their financing activities to identify ways to detect and disrupt their operations.
