Venable partner Ed Wilson was quoted in the fourth quarter issue of Bank Director magazine on an uptick in prosecutions by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Since bringing on a new director in 2012, FinCEN has seen an increase in the number of BSA/AML enforcement actions with individual bankers also being targeted.
"We're going to see more individuals being prosecuted" including, possibly, commercial bankers, predicted Wilson.
