2. FinCEN - that's where Barr's daughter works.

Wonder if they've been asking Mandelker to do something or if he's been witnessing something that he just cannot stomach anymore.

3. That was my first thought as well.

FinCEN seems kind of important in current events.

4. FinCEN also investigates and fines money launderers. They fined Trump for not following

money laundering regulations at his casinos.

Top U.S. Sanctions Chief to Leave Trump Administration for Private Sector

Sigal Mandelker is Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence

WASHINGTON—The Trump administration’s top sanctions chief—responsible for wielding the financial firepower of the world’s most powerful economy as the White House’s primary foreign policy tool—is leaving for the private sector, top U.S. Treasury officials said.

Sigal Mandelker, Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, signaled over the summer her desire to return to the private sector, the U.S. Treasury secretary told The Wall Street Journal.

Ms. Mandelker said that although she has no immediate plans, a return to the private sector would offer her a more normal pace of life allowing her to spend more time with her family.
