## Resource

This week, Elliot Berman and John Byrne unpack a wave of fast-moving developments impacting the financial crime and banking landscape. They begin by reflecting on Barney Frank's legacy and his lasting influence on U.S. financial regulation. The conversation then turns to a newly issued executive order, Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System, and what it could mean for financial institutions—from heightened scrutiny around immigration-related risks to potential shifts in crypto access to the Federal Reserve system. They also examine the latest developments in the Clarity Act, a controversial DOJ “anti-weaponization” fund, new OFAC sanctions targeting global networks, allegations of cartel-linked gold entering the U.S. Mint supply chain, and Interpol’s major cybercrime crackdown across the Middle East and Africa.
