The Biggest Industry in the World?

Hundreds of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies have access without court oversight to a database of more than 150 million money transfers. The database housed at a little known nonprofit called transaction record analysis center was set up by the Arizona State Attorney's General Office in 2014. Last year, the government participated in track and specifically Homeland Security investigations and arm of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement collected about six million records of money transfers from Western Union and Matrix transfers since 2019.
