In other data news, on December 27th, ExecutiveGov published an interesting article entitled, Report Examines How Terrorists, Criminal Groups Launder Money, Traffic Goods. In this article, Jane Edwards describes how the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reviewed the ways in which terrorist groups and transnational criminal organizations launder money, engage in human trafficking, and move illegal drugs and found that these groups perform phony trade deals, conduct real estate purchases and use virtual currencies to launder the proceeds of trafficking activities.
- The report listed several examples of human trafficking-related red flag indicators that have been provided to financial institutions - including the frequent receipt or sending of funds through cryptocurrency, frequent customer transactions from various U.S. geographical regions, and customer accounts sharing a telephone number or other identifiers with escort agency websites.
