In this episode of financial crime matters, Kieran Beer talks with Christina Rea-Baxter, Esq. about her brief tenure at Binance.US as interim chief compliance officer. Christina discusses what it was like to head U.S. compliance for Binance.com, the world’s largest digital assets trading platform, as it underwent scrutiny from regulators and law enforcement that ultimately culminated in a $4.3 billion penalty against Binance.com and a guilty plea for money laundering failures by the VASP’s co-founder Changpeng Zhao that resulted in his paying a $50 million fine and the possibility of up to 18 months in prison. Christina, who launched a consulting firm after resigning from Binance.com, after about six months at the VASP, also touches on what it takes to protect yourself as a compliance officer whose business is facing tough oversight. https://bit.ly/3LzEpf2

ACAMS reposted this
Please join me and our esteemed speakers (Max Lerner, Salvatore Scotto, CAMS) for the upcoming #ACAMS “#AFC in Practice” webinar, where with a “threats and hazards” lens, the session will provide insights into how you can use enterprise-wide risk assessment (#EWRA) methods to effectively manage residual risks in anti-money laundering (#AML), counter-terrorist financing (#CTF) and #sanctions programs. • Addressing #AML and #sanctions requirements applicable to all organization operations • Balancing #AML and #sanctions requirements • Providing practical guidance on how to manage higher-risk customers and businesses in HIDTA and HIFCA zones We will also discuss the practical implications of #FinCEN #NPRM announced June 28th, “to amend existing program rules to explicitly require financial institutions to establish, implement, and maintain #effective, #risk-based, and reasonably designed #AML/CFT programs. FinCEN intends for the proposed rule to enable financial institutions to use the #riskassessment process to prioritize risks and focus their attention and resources in a manner consistent with the #riskprofile of each individual financial institution.” Looking forward to welcoming you to the webinar next Tuesday! https://lnkd.in/eU-VMKwt https://lnkd.in/e-WdiaXx #amltraining, #CAMS, #CAMS-RM, #CAMS-Audit, #CCAS
