Biden calls for sweeping new push to expose and punish financial corruption

[BidenPresident]

President Biden has introduced sweeping new strategies to fight financial corruption, pledging a government-wide campaign to identify and punish bad actors who move illicit wealth in the United States and around the world.

Calling the effort a core national security interest, the administration said it would work with Congress to bring more scrutiny to trust companies, lawyers and other financial gatekeepers, seek to identify owners “hiding behind opaque” corporations and target those involved in real estate transactions used to hide or launder money.

More than a dozen countries have announced probes into activities revealed by the Pandora Papers, including an investigation of Ecuador’s president, Guillermo Lasso. In the United States, a bipartisan group of lawmakers proposed the most significant overhaul to anti-money laundering rules since 9/11.

The hearing Wednesday will address “blind spots” in U.S. laws that allow affluent people to take advantage of the growing trust industry, according to the subcommittee’s memo on the hearing.

Typical rightys responses. They ignore the power and cheating of the super-wealthy and corporations. They have been deluded into thinking the poor and migrants are taking their super-duper extra hard-working money. It is the top 1 percent who confiscates the profits.
Nailing Hunter for some fanciful crime will fix nothing. You can shoot him and your money will still go up to the top.
