Our FinCEN campaign was a big success! The comment period for FinCEN’s proposed rules under the AML WIA has successfully ended. The initiative received widespread support from diverse groups, including the National Whistleblower Center, journalists, and advocates from across the globe. We emphasized that strong whistleblower protections and timely rewards are critical for fighting transnational crimes like terrorist financing, tax evasion, and money laundering. FinCEN is now responsible for reviewing all received feedback to inform its final rules for the whistleblower program.
Motion to Quash LLC features a series of civic campaigns, notably “Action 1 of 2024.” In collaboration with the NWC, this initiative lobbies legislators to demand that the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) enact proper anti-money laundering (AML) whistleblower regulations.
Journalist and whistleblower advocate Tracie Burke initiated the campaign for Motion to Quash LLC. She argues that FinCEN’s whistleblower program requires urgent implementation to align with U.S. anti-corruption priorities and combat transnational threats.
Our FinCEN Campaign Was a Big Success!
The FinCEN campaign is an initiative urging citizens to contact Congress and demand that FinCEN quickly implement mandates of the AML Whistleblower Improvement Act. It ensures protection for whistleblowers. It also properly incentivizes whistleblowers to report global corruption and sanctions violations.
The platform highlights how international sanctions and money laundering tied to global conflicts (e.g., in Russia and the Middle East) can be combatted if FinCEN regulations are fully activated.
For further details on how money laundering affects local and global politics or to review the progress of these specific policy actions, you can explore the Motion to Quash FinCEN Archive.
The National Whistleblower Center endorses our efforts to improve anti-corruption reporting procedures across FinCEN and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
