So what we’re seeing right now, the
DOJ’s focus when it comes to money
laundering is very much tied to enemies
of the United States. And what do I mean
by that? It’s not necessarily people
that we are at war with. We’re not at
war, but we are very, very focused with
national security. and the national
security focus that’s going on with the
Department of Justice is permeating
across all levels of the Department of
Justice and how they are prosecuting
certain cases. So when we’re talking
about money laundering, they are looking
for major major actors in the cartel
space. We can turn on the news and we
can see who are they going for? What
countries are they looking at? Mexico,
Colombia, Venezuela, China, North Korea.
So because our international world has
and the ability for people in the United
States to financially transa trans
transact with foreign actors we’re
seeing a much bigger focus on trying to
find domestic individuals people in the
United States who are moving currency
whether it be through cryptocurrency
through cash transfers wire transfers
etc that have ties to these national
security in these foreign actors. So,
money laundering is really transforming
into a moving money and converting money
for profits here locally into more of a
national security focus. And that’s
becoming a very large trend in our
country and in the prosecutions that
we’re dealing with.
