Illicit Edge - Edition for Nov 26, 2024

Illicit Edge Community!

As Trump re-takes the reins, he faces a harsh reality: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are not just evading sanctions – they're rewriting the rules of global economic warfare to sideline the U.S.

In this exciting new episode of DESIGNATED from Illicit Edge, Yaya Fanusie and Juan Zarate, former counterterrorism czar and architect of modern financial warfare, discuss:

  • The alliance of financial rogues – how state and non-state actors are uniting to exploit crypto and bypass U.S. controls.

  • The weak points in U.S. sanctions policy and how overuse threatens to undermine their power.

  • The strategic challenges for the incoming Trump administration, including the growing push to replace the dollar in global trade.

  • The hidden risks impacting everyday Americans, from cyber hacks to political manipulation by foreign actors.

We’re at a pivotal moment in U.S. economic statecraft: If we only use sanctions reactively without a broader strategy, we risk losing the global financial dominance that keeps us secure.

This episode is a wake-up call for policymakers, financial crime professionals, and citizens alike. If you care about America’s future, check it out and share with your friends and colleagues.
