Download or read book Deconstructing Money Laundering Risk written by Noémi També Bearpark and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the interpretation of the risk-based approach (RBA) and its application across the banking industry. It explores the ways conflicting risk interpretation and deconstruction of money laundering risk have unintended consequences across the banking industry. Furthermore, it offers a theoretical framework that can be adopted and implemented by risk practitioners to address money laundering (ML) risks. The interpretation and application of the RBA influences the way money laundering risk is perceived, presented, and managed, often resulting in misalignment among stakeholders. Moreover, AML practitioners interpret money laundering (ML) risk as an entity that can be contained, largely in ignorance of the fact that ML risk is self-referential. The book therefore addresses complex inter-system feedback phenomena that lead to de-risking and re-risking, and offers a new ML risk communication framework on this basis. It will be of value to researchers and also to stakeholders within financial institutions, financial intelligence units and regulators in the fight against money laundering.

Book excerpt: Love is not something you protect. It's something you risk. Daniel Connor has a problem. A big one. Even though his company is a billion-dollar success in the hospitality industry, he’s just opened a few new properties in the United States and is failing at every turn. He’s never met a problem he couldn’t solve, but this particular problem is beyond him. He needs an expert. A fixer. Enter Eleanor Sawyer, fixer extraordinaire. Though she generally only works in the US, the salary Daniel offers her—and the good looks she sees across their first meeting—are impossible for her to turn down, and she makes the journey to the UK to work with his company on their problems. But the UK isn’t as easy to navigate as she expected, and when she ends up living on Daniel’s property outside the city—and needing to call him every time something goes wrong—she starts to think there might be more to life in England than just fixing a company’s issues. This contract was never meant to be anything but professional. The problem is, the longer Daniel and Eleanor work together, the more personal it becomes. And neither one of them is all that interested in changing it.

Download or read book Proxy War in Yemen written by Bernd Kaussler and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the civil war in Yemen and how intervening external actors have shaped the trajectory of the conflict. The work examines the conflict in Yemen as a testing ground for expectations about the autonomy and control of proxies by external patrons and the direct consequences for civilian victimization and duration of war. Like other proxy wars, the international dimensions of the war made the conflict in Yemen subject to the geopolitical interests of intervening powers. The longstanding power rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran over Middle East supremacy resulted in a competitive intervention in Yemen, where the initial belligerents of the civil war—the Houthi and the Hadi regime—were used as proxies by Tehran and the Gulf coalition led by Riyadh, respectively. Their intervention ultimately translated into a prolonged and destructive conflict. The often contradictory and self-interested patronage strategies by the coalition’s two central patrons, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, undermined their broader goal of containing Iran. However, Iran’s support for the Houthis enabled them to bait and bleed the Gulf coalition. Lastly, in an effort to balance against Iran, the United States underwrote the military campaign of the Gulf states with military hardware and personnel, thereby further prolonging the conflict and humanitarian disaster. This book concludes that intervention by external patrons both protracted the civil war and made it far more destructive for the civilian population. This book will be of much interest to students of proxy wars, Middle Eastern conflict, and security studies in general.

Book excerpt: This is the real story that inspired the Netflix film, Bank of Dave. Dave Fishwick is a self-made, straight-talking man from Burnley who hates the banks. Fed up with never-ending tales of greed and corruption, he sets out to prove that there is a different way of doing things - by opening his own bank to help inject much-needed life into local businesses. In his bid to set up a simple, no-nonsense bank that actually cares about its customers, Dave plans to use hundreds of thousands of pounds of his own money. His enterprise will offer his customers a far better rate of interest than they get on the high street; he will lend to struggling local businesses that the banks don't want to know about; and he aims to bring the Bank of Dave into profit within 180 days. If he succeeds, he'll give whatever he makes to charity. If he fails, he'll make a terrible loss and ruin his hard-earned reputation as a successful businessman. Can one man really take on the banking giants and make a real difference to local businesses and his community? Dave Fishwick certainly hopes so.

Book excerpt: Solid State Sigma Series — Solid State Shadow Volumes One to Three Volume One — “Night Harbour” Ariel Blake is a Siren agent out for revenge against her mother’s killers and one of the government’s most merciless operatives. She is charged with investigating a high profile, armed robbery of a Shiro Express courier. The trail leads to the ruthless genius Gilead Hightower and the Black Phoenix, the terrorists responsible for her mom’s death. Both are after a black ops government project so secret no one, not even the government itself, even realized it existed… until now. She has to stop the Black Phoenix from getting powerful new technology but she has to find it first. Only Gilead Hightower has the answers and he isn’t talking. Rake Ashcor, one of the deadliest assassins in the star system with over a thousand kills to his name, has been hired by the Phoenix to get the technology and silence Gilead for good. When Ariel’s friends get trapped in a virtual world that can kill, she has a tough choice to make: is finding the location of the black ops project worth her life and the lives of her friends or will she let the Black Phoenix get what they want? If Rake and the Phoenix succeed, the System Alliance could be torn apart. How far will she go for vengeance? Volume Two — “Gilead’s Gambit” Ariel Blake is one of the top Siren agents of the System Alliance who is driven by one thing: revenge. She discovers the Black Phoenix terrorists are after her childhood friend, Eve Lang when they attack the mall in their home town. Worse still, Eve is not all she appears to be and Ariel must wrestle with her transformation into something that is no longer… human. That doesn’t stop her from putting Eve’s safety as priority number one and keeping her out of Phoenix hands. Rake Ashcor, the assassin who nearly killed her at Night Harbour is also gunning for Eve. If Rake gets her, the Black Phoenix may obtain the key to using the Solid State Shadow technology. Something Ariel fears more than anything. Volume Three — “Trinity Tower” Ariel Blake must rescue childhood friend Eve Lang from Gilead Hightower. The team tracks the genius down and find themselves caught up in a chaotic firefight while trying to rescue her. The situation gets worse when Aminon, a mysterious shadow organization tries to silence Eve at the same time… for things she can’t even remember. Finding Eve and Gilead isn’t Ariel’s only challenge. The ruthless Phoenix have planned something big. It will be the opening act of a new chapter in history. Assassin Rake Ashcor strikes a deal with Gilead for Eve and if he gets her, nothing will stop the Black Phoenix from killing millions in a few short hours. Guaranteed.

Download or read book International Money Laundering Through Real Estate and Agribusiness written by Fausto Martin De Sanctis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines two types of transnational money laundering: the use of offshores and wire transfers to “invest” in real estate; and agribusiness, a nebulous activity that is difficult to regulate. The author also examines current international mechanisms to combat money-laundering; whether these efforts have been successful or unsuccessful; and whether multilateral instruments are an effective tool in the war against international organized crime. As national borders have opened and trade barriers have fallen, transnational crime has grown at unprecedented levels. The current situation, better revealed by the so-called “Panama Papers,” is a result of a lack of local cooperation in the investigations, prosecution, and/or extradition of criminals. Governments profit from ill-gotten wealth hosting international criminal enterprises in their own territories, thus providing a fertile ground for illicit practices, closing their eyes to the nexus among false or inappropriate identification, fraudulent records, corruption, and money laundering. If these types of transnational money-laundering are allowed to remain as they are currently treated, the shift in the financial paradigm, from centralized and regulated to decentralized and “unregulated,” would allow for the continuation of some of the most dangerous criminal activity. In this timely book, the author presents arguments that by “following the money,” capital movements involved in transnational money laundering through real estate and agribusiness can be examined, revealed, and understood.

Download or read book A Prayer for the City written by Buzz Bissinger and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Friday Night Lights, the heart-wrenching and hilarious true story of an American city on its knees and a man who will do anything to save it. A Prayer for the City is acclaimed journalist Buzz Bissinger's true epic of Philadelphia mayor Ed Rendell, an utterly unique, unorthodox, and idiosyncratic leader willing to go to any length for the sake of his city: take unions head on, personally lobby President Clinton to save 10,000 defense jobs, or wrestle Smiley the Pig on Hot Dog Day—all the while bearing in mind the eternal fickleness of constituents whose favor may hinge on a missed garbage pick-up or an overzealous meter maid. It is also the story of citizens in crisis: a woman fighting ceaselessly to give her great-grandchildren a better life, a father of six who may lose his job at the Navy Shipyard, and a policy analyst whose experiences as a crime victim tempt her to abandon her job and ideals. "Fascinating, humane" (The New Yorker) and alive with detail and insight, A Prayer for the City describes the rare combination of political courage and optimism that may be the only hope for America's urban centers.
