"Anti-Money-Laundering Unit Must Staff Up to Fulfill Reform Mandate,
Official Says
FinCEN director expresses confidence in agency’s ability to implement a new anti-money-laundering law and launch a corporate ownership database"

Treasury FinCEN (Death Robot of Death) is hiring to keep up with the new NDAA law targeting offshore money laundering
So, the foreign corrupt practices bribery people are hiring,
FinCEN is hiring...
...I sense a pattern.
Now that Merrick Garland is Attorney General.
FinCEN is going from terrorists and Mobsters to *all the various money launderers who make human trafficking, arms trading, drug dealing, and all the rest possible! And they're hiring!
Guys, for $40 million, FinCEN's gonna build a map of financial criminal laundering trillions.
HOW ABOUT RETURN ON INVESTMENT, PEOPLE!
U.S. banks can either tell FinCEN all about the drug cartel, spy budget, and sanctions-evading laundromat willingly...or FinCEN Death Robot of Death will be by shortly.

First, Erik Prince thinks he'll invade Libya from Jordan. A Jordan military official questions Prince's partner, who introduces himself as a character in a Mel Gibson movie. He's thrown out of the country.
(See docs)
Next, a Confidential Source in South Africa spots weapons-grade helicopters being ferreted across the border. They call the UN. #ErikPrince
(See docs)
The UN asks to see the customs documents for these helicopters and is given a bad cut-and-paste fake. #ErikPrince
(See docs)
But the document reminds the UN of Erik Prince's 2014 assassination scheme, which used the same letterhead under the cover of an "oil and gas survey."
(See docs)
The UN has repeatedly tried to contact Erik Prince for his reply to these serious allegations. They can't find him.
(See docs)
Erik Prince must be the most bungling mercenary ever, but he's turning airplanes and helicopters into weapons delivery systems all over the world.... and selling them to anyone. He should be stopped. END.

Thank you Govenor Andrew Cuomo. You lead when Everyone Else Fking Failed.
Honestly, throughout the entire time of COVID, I was encouraged on a personal level as we all sat isolated from our previous lives & witnessing the horrors of what NY was dealing with.
As Gov Cuomo begged for assistance from Trump, he was ignored for being a Blue State.
We were all on our own & watched daily as NY City ground to a halt & looked on, stunned & in shock as refridgerator trucks backed up to NY Hospitals.
I was encouraged & felt supported in my own helplessness & isolation by Gov Cuomo's daily TV briefings, & I live 1500 miles across the country from New York.
For anyone to fault this man who did what he could under extreme conditions & ignored by his own President, Govenor Cuomo's speaking to NYers & citizens throughout America & beyond it's shores, did for us all what Trump failed to do.
Gov Cuomo never whitewashed the truth of the reality happening in his beloved home State & City.
But what he remarkably DID manage to summon within himself, was a reach-out to anyone listening, of the dangers, warnings, reality & personal connection of support for all who were abandoned & left on our own by the President of the United States, because as we eventually came to find out HE, in turn, was completely void of the emotional capacity to care for the people he was trusted to care for.
Govenor Andrew Cuomo's daily briefings about the crisis of his tortured city became our support, source of information & our connection to our own fellow citizens when in isolation, we no longer could risk a walk out our own front door.
Thank you Govenor Cuomo
Thank you. You did what a leader is supposed to do & you did it well.
Thank you Govenor Andrew Cuomo
