Financial Crimes Enforcement Network - FinCEN
Categories: Regulations, Metrics
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s very own troupe of financial Power Rangers, minus the leotards. (We think.)
This network’s lofty mission is to rid the world of icky financial crimes like money laundering, and it’s made up of people from three groups: the finance industry, law enforcement, and associated regulatory agencies. Basically, they monitor any iffy financial transactions and track how money moves, both here in the United States and around the world. When shady activity is detected, they investigate, and, if necessary, punish the violators.
Go, go, FinCEN warriors!
