Enact AML Regulations

On January 1, 2021, Congress passed the AML Whistleblower Act, which authorized the Departments of Justice and Treasury to accept confidential and anonymous complaints worldwide regarding the most significant international corruption issue: money laundering and violations of Bank Secrecy. In December, 2022, after a two-year campaign spearheaded by the NWC, we obtained unanimous support in the U.S. Senate and in the House Financial Services Committee, and through the largest grassroots campaign ever undertaken to force congress to enact effective whistleblower laws, the AML whistleblower enhancement act was attached to the federal budget as the last law passed in the 117th congress. 

This was a tremendous victory for whistleblowers and the worldwide fight to weed out corruption facilitated by the largest and most powerful banks in the world. Since these victories were achieved, the Department of Justice and Treasury have been stonewalling and delaying the enactment of the regulations necessary for these laws to become effective. For example, after over two years, neither department has procedures for whistleblowers to file anonymous cases even though this is required by the law. 

We need you to join our campaign to demand that the Departments of Justice and Treasury enact effective regulations unleashing the recognized power of whistleblowers worldwide to report terrorist financing, drug cartels, illegal profiteering by the largest banks in the world, embezzlement, and other forms of money laundering.
