Join Sarah Beth Felix, President of Palmero Consulting and creator of the Dirty Money Weekly newsletter, as she critiques an unprecedented year in AML enforcement. She highlights a disturbing decline in infrastructure and enforcement actions, contrasting federal bank penalties with FINRA's surge. Felix warns about the potential bottlenecks from FinCEN's proposed veto authority and discusses the urgent need for banks to enhance sanctions due diligence. With skepticism about AI's ability to replace human judgment and a call for updated crypto regulations, she empowers AML officers to refocus priorities as we approach 2026.
