What does it take to run a nation’s anti-financial crime agency and stay one step ahead of those adapting to the changing world of finance faster than the government agencies tasked with stopping them? By building better investigative and analytic methods through new technologies. Dr. Shlomit Wagman was the Director-General of the Israel Money Laundering and Terror Financing Prohibition Authority. She served when terrorist groups in the region first began experimenting with cryptocurrencies. She saw their new methods up close and helped develop technologies and investigative methodologies to go after them. Designated host, Yaya Jata Fanusie recently spoke with Dr. Wagman where she described the challenges and successes while leading such a massive operation and reminds us all that technology is a tool that can be used, for good and bad, depending on who yields it and how.
