Our tenth episode of the Withers talks: cryptocurrency podcast, ‘Transatlantic perspectives on anti-money laundering enforcement,’ focuses on current AML rules, regulatory regime enforcement and the future of AML enforcement in the US and UK related to cryptocurrency.

Chris discusses the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)’s increasing focus on AML laws for crypto companies in the US, the regulatory push for AML enforcement on crypto-related crimes, and the latest with the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple Labs Inc. over an alleged unregistered, ongoing digital asset securities offering.
