Authoritarian regimes in China\, Russia\, Iran\, and North Korea are increasingly central to sophisticated illicit finance networks that challenge traditional AML frameworks. \nSince the enactment of the Bank Secrecy Act and RICO statute in 1970—cornerstones of President Nixon’s War on Drugs—U.S. financial crime policy has focused primarily on non-state actors. That focus persisted through the post-9/11 era with the USA PATRIOT Act. But the threat landscape has evolved. \nToday\, transnational cartels\, terrorist groups\, and criminal syndicates are embedding themselves within financial ecosystems backed—tacitly or explicitly—by hostile nation-states. These hybrid threat networks leverage front companies\, crypto obfuscation\, export control violations\, and sanctions evasion to undermine global financial stability. \nThis symposium convenes leaders from government\, law enforcement\, and the private sector to examine this paradigm shift. Together\, we’ll explore national enforcement priorities\, emerging risks\, and the tools necessary to safeguard financial integrity in a world defined by geopolitical contest. \nExpect expert-led discussions\, real-world case studies\, and unparalleled networking opportunities with the brightest minds in AML and financial crime prevention. \nEvent Schedule: \n8:00AM – 8:50AM: Check-in / Registration \n8:50AM – 9:00AM: Opening Remarks \n9:00AM – 10:30AM: Keynote Presentation: Framing AML Risk Exposure During Rising Global Tensions and Under New National Priorities \n\nJoshua Fruth\, US Army Intelligence Officer\, Former Head of Counter Threat Finance at NATO Special Operations\n\n10:30AM – 11:20AM: The New Face of AML & Sanctions \n\nModerator: Mike Bowman\, Managing Director\, Financial Crime Advisory\, Kroll\nPanelist 1: Howard Spieler\, Business Sanctions Risk Officer\, Citi\nPanelist 2: Salvatore Scotto\, SVP\, Head of Sanctions\, Bank of China\nPanelist 3: DJ Wolff\, Partner\, Sanctions Attorney\, Crowell & Moring LLP\nPanelist 4: Robert Bacon\, Adjunct Instructor\, National White Collar Crime Center\n\n11:20AM – 11:35AM: Break \n11:35AM – 12:25PM: U.S. Enforcement Priorities Panel \n\nModerator: Ingo Steinhaeuser\, Senior Risk and Fraud Specialist\, Thomson Reuters\nPanelist 1: Joshua Fruth\, US Army Intelligence Officer\, Former Head of Counter Threat Finance at NATO Special Operations\nPanelist 2: Leo McCormick\, Bank Examiner\, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency\nPanelist 3: Dr. Donna Broussard\, Colonel (Ret.)\, Former Inspector General\, U.S. Army\nPanelist 4: Jonathan Sullivan\, Senior Special Agent (Ret.)\, Drug Enforcement Administration\n\n12:25PM – 1:25PM: Lunch \n1:25PM – 2:15PM: Transforming AML with AI and Data Panel \n\nModerator: Morgan Loewith\, Head of Product\, Castellum.AI\nPanelist 1: Rio Miner\, Head of New Technologies\, Refine Intelligence\nPanelist 2: Chandrakant Maheshwari\, FVP\, Lead Model Validator\, Flagstar Bank\nPanelist 3: Pranjal Dubey\, Data Scientist\, Flagstar Bank\nPanelist 4: George Georgiades\, Compliance and Forensics Expert\, Gemean\n\n2:15PM – 3:05PM: The Future of Crypto Compliance Panel \n\nModerator: John Calderon\, Founder and Chair\, CAFC\nPanelist 1: CJ Rinaldi\, Chief Compliance Officer\, Kraken\nPanelist 2: Jane Palummo\, Director of Sanctions and Screening Programs\,  Binance.US\nPanelist 3: Shakthi Ganesan\, AML Compliance Officer\, Robinhood Crypto\nPanelist 4: Brian Walsh\, Sanctions Officer & Deputy AML Officer\, BitGo\n\n3:05PM – 3:15PM: Closing Remarks \n3:15PM – 5:00PM: Networking/Happy Hour \n5:00PM: Event Concludes
