Publisher's Synopsis
In 2009, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) continued to make important contributions to the nation's fight against money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, tax evasion, waste and abuse in government programs, and other illicit financial activity. The common elements are criminal profit motives and the need to conceal the movement of money. By following the money, we can deter and detect criminals. We continue to build upon previous success as more Federal, State, and local law enforcement and regulatory agencies are leveraging the resources that FinCEN provides to complement or expand their own investigative capabilities.
