bullet The National Money Laundering Strategy continues to expand the framework for identifying, disrupting, and dismantling global terrorist financing and money laundering operations.  Appendix H covers interesting 'Prevention, Investigation, and Prosecution' scenarios.
bullet The U.S. Treasury is now publicizing USA Patriot Act and Sanction Law offenders to help companies who are not complying avoid large fines and negative publicity.  While individuals are prosecuted for violations, they are grouped together with other like violators for publication and individual names are not used.  Of course the individuals still suffer the impact of the fines and jail terms.  Companies however, are internationally and permanently displayed by Name, Address, Offense, and Fine amount.  The U.S. Treasury is telling us in no uncertain terms that when you violate the law, you will be punished publicly.
bullet Newly designated business classes had until October, 2003 to establish operational procedures  that include checking customer names against the U.S. Treasury's listing of terrorists, narcotics traffickers, and others as maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.  Businesses should be guarding against money laundering and the financing of terrorism by taking basic steps to identify customers through adequate customer identification procedures (CIP).  Checking your 'customer' name against the current OFAC Specially Designated Nationals listing is one of the first steps in identifying your customer.
