The group that published the Panama Papers is getting ready to drop some more articles


?s=20

I'm reliably told that the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), the group that published the Panama Papers, have massive tranches of leaked financial records from FinCEN and are preparing to publish a slew of articles.

I don't know the subject matter. I have heard the name of one of the banks involved, but I'm not certain enough to report that, yet.

One financial regulator source I spoke to is NOT happy.

This, according to one source, led to the unusual FinCEN statement last week. https://fincen.gov/news/news-releases/statement-fincen-regarding-unlawfully-disclosed-suspicious-activity-reports


Statement by FinCEN Regarding Unlawfully Disclosed Suspicious Activity Reports
Immediate Release
September 01, 2020
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is aware that various media outlets intend to publish a series of articles based on unlawfully disclosed Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), as well as other sensitive government documents, from several years ago. As FinCEN has stated previously, the unauthorized disclosure of SARs is a crime that can impact the national security of the United States, compromise law enforcement investigations, and threaten the safety and security of the institutions and individuals who file such reports. FinCEN has referred this matter to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Inspector General.

Plus FinCEN fined the Trump casinos for not following anti-money laundering protocols.
