Overview
The GOP now has a trifecta – the House, Senate, and Oval Office – and changes are on the horizon. The Trump presidency will make appointments at the Departments of Justice and Treasury which will determine how prosecutors, FinCEN and OFAC enforce their mandates. As they say in Washington D.C., “personnel is policy.” We will discuss the changes in regulation and enforcement and what they mean for anti-financial crime professionals. And let’s not forget the courts, including the challenges to the Corporate Transparency Act and what a post-Chevron world means for financial regulations. We’ll also examine the changes in cryptocurrency policy, the possible end of “regulation by enforcement,” and the intersection of crime prevention and the blockchain. This session will look back at the top enforcement actions of 2024 and what lessons we can carry forward through 2025.
