Introduction

John Avlon: Ryan Wallerstein is the publisher of the Alyssan Edge. He and Avlon worked together a number of years ago when he was at the Treasury Department; we've reconnected recently. What I want to do today, Ryan, is talk a bit about your career journey and then spend a good deal of time on what I find to be a tremendous newsletter that you've created,. The value proposition for the AML-CTF sanctions community can't be overstated. But tell us a little bit about how you got to where you are today.
