John,
When dirty money can move unrestricted through the U.S. economy, it threatens U.S. national security, undermines the safety of our communities, and makes it harder for honest businesses to operate in a fair and competitive environment. We need your support to stop dirty money in its tracks.
U.S. government rollbacks in the past five months are jeopardizing more than fifty years' worth of anti-corruption protections:
* The Treasury Department is gutting the landmark, bipartisan Corporate Transparency Act, meant to reveal the true owners of shell companies used to hide dirty money and facilitate drug trafficking and other crimes.
* Decades-long anti-bribery protections under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act are now on "pause"; and
* The Department of Justice has dismantled the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Unit and the KleptoCapture Task Force, giving Putin's cronies and other oligarchs more freedom to enjoy their ill-gotten assets.
As FACT's executive director told New York Times Magazine, the pace of the "unravelling" of "safeguards relating to dirty money coming into the United States has been pretty dizzying."
