ACAMS Talk: Shining a Light on How Chinese Underground Banking Fuels Crime in the Caribbean
Big ideas, shorter sessions. That’s an ACAMS Talk. Come for stimulating intellectual exploration; leave with plenty to think and talk about.
In their attempt to bypass capital controls, Chinese underground banking networks have become deeply embedded in global financial crime—including money laundering, corruption, and even fentanyl trafficking. This ACAMS Talk will explore how these illicit networks operate, their impact on financial institutions in the Caribbean, and what compliance professionals can do to detect and disrupt them.
