Written by AML RightSource | May 15, 2020

Welcome to This Week in AML - the weekly podcast series hosted by AML RightSource staff for financial crimes professionals. Each week we will discuss one specific topic relevant in the Financial Crimes compliance space.


This week, Vice Chairman John Byrne, and Vice President, Director of Sanctions, Tim White of the AML RightSource staff discuss a recent Op Ed article in the Washington Post on the proposed use of sanctions against global white supremacist groups. They both present the quick overview of the concept, the tactical response proposed by the United States Secretary of the Treasury, Stephen Mnuchin, and how Financial Crimes Compliance professionals can monitor and combat similar examples of hate speech and terrorism.
