🧠Inside Episode 1: What’s Changed – And What Comes Next
In this debut episode, Sarah Beth reveals why today’s anti-money laundering (AML) system is under pressure — and what compliance professionals must do to stay sharp:
• Why relaxing rules for small banks could open the floodgates for dirty money.
• How gutting the Corporate Transparency Act blinds us to cartels, terror groups, and sanctioned networks.
• The dangerous push to raise Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) and Currency Transaction Report (CTR) thresholds – without input from those who actually fight crime.
• How AML professionals can stay effective even if key tools and protections are stripped away.
💥 Dirty money adapts fast. Compliance must adapt faster.
