Profit, Power, and the End of Poverty Rules in a Million-Dollar Firm

Eat Dessert First

This book examines the international standards relating to information exchange, identifying its importance in relation to combatting money laundering, terrorist financing and fraud.

Its timely publication follows the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) rating the UK's anti-money laundering and counterterrorism financing regimes as amongst the best in the world in its fourth Mutual Evaluation Report.
The book features an alternative review via three case studies - money laundering, terrorism financing and general fraud. These illustrate the importance of information exchange and highlight flaws in the UK's legal framework, challenging the conclusions of the FATF. Considering this comprehensive analysis, the book then provides recommendations for reform.

Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12 Banks and Banking

Presents regulations governing banking procedures and activities of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Export-Import Bank, Office of Thrift Supervision, Farm Credit Administration, and the National Credit Union Administration.

Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12 Banks and Banking 1-199, Revised as of January 1, 2025

Equips legal professionals and stakeholders with a clear, authoritative, and practical guide to the UK legal treatment of digital payments and tokenised assets. The Law of Digital Payments explores the evolving landscape of UK financial law as it adapts to innovations in digital finance. With fintech disrupting traditional models of value exchange, legal professionals must navigate complex regulatory challenges concerning digital wallets, open banking APIs, smart contracts, decentralised finance (DeFi), and the treatment of tokenised assets under common law. This work delves into how UK courts and regulators are addressing these innovations. It provides clarity on the current legal treatment of payment tokens, security tokens, cryptoassets and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It also investigates the impact of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023, the Bank of England's stance on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and how the Payment Services Regulations and E-Money Regulations are applied to innovative business models. Drawing upon regulatory guidance, case law, and international developments, the book is designed to help practitioners, regulators, academics, and financial institutions understand and navigate the complex intersection of law and digital finance. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Banking and Finance Law online service.

The Law of Digital Payments

Sustainability matters increasingly affect and concern central banks around the globe, while the perception of what they are legally empowered to do may differ depending on the jurisdiction at hand. This volume systematically assesses the role of central banks in matters of sustainability from different perspectives in academia and central banking practice - some more favourable of a proactive engagement of central banks in sustainability policies, others more critical and vigilant of legal and legitimacy boundaries of such engagement. The methodological approaches the authors deploy include legal-doctrinal analysis, qualitative empirical analysis, and economic theory. The essays together provide a balanced assessment of the role central banks can and should play in sustainability matters, addressing legal aspects, legitimacy concerns, and concerns of interinstitutional balance as well as economic and operational considerations. The book covers both developed and developing economies, where central banks are already facing the dire consequences of the warming climate.

Central Banking and Sustainability

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

This book, a product of the Financial Integrity Hub (FIH), explores the societal costs of combating financial crime and the balance between security imperatives, individual rights, and the integrity of global financial systems. It examines the ethical dilemmas and practical challenges faced by policymakers, practitioners, and the public as they navigate the evolving landscape of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regimes.
While designed to safeguard societies and economies, measures from these regimes can erode privacy, stifle legitimate activity, and exacerbate inequalities. Through analysis and real case studies, this book scrutinises the ethical and legal dilemmas arising from expanded surveillance, showing how the pursuit of security can undermine civil liberties and invite abuse. It assesses the impact of regulatory frameworks on non-profit organisations, vulnerable populations, and businesses, drawing attention to the unintended consequences of well-intentioned policies. It also examines the expanding role of technology in surveillance, raising critical questions about the future of privacy in an increasingly interconnected world. The book highlights the intersection of financial crime and environmental exploitation, demonstrating the far-reaching effects of illicit activity.
Through a global lens, it evaluates regulatory approaches including unexplained wealth orders, risk-based assessments, and emerging tools like Central Bank Digital Currencies. It exposes gaps in current frameworks, questioning whether they adequately address evolving threats of terrorist financing and complex financial crimes. By engaging with these challenges, the book calls for a more nuanced approach to financial crime control, one that protects society without undermining its core values.
Essential reading for legal professionals, policymakers, academics, law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and anyone concerned with the global fight against financial crime, this book provides critical insights into its ethical and legal dimensions. It encourages reflection on unintended consequences and advocates for a fair, responsible, and balanced approach to safeguarding financial integrity.

Fraud: A Practitioner's Handbook

MT760 Unmasked

MT760 is one of the most misunderstood terms in modern trade finance.To some, it sounds like proof that bank-backed value has arrived. To others, it is used in proposals involving SBLC monetization, leased instruments, blocked funds, and urgent funding promises. In professional banking practice, however, MT760 is not magic money, not proof of funds, and not a substitute for due diligence.MT760 Unmasked is a practical guide to Standby Letters of Credit, SBLC mechanics, red flags, verification procedures, AML exposure, sanctions concerns, and the risks surrounding secondary-market claims.Written for bankers, compliance officers, trade finance professionals, lawyers, consultants, financial crime specialists, and business owners, this book explains how SBLCs work, what MT760 messages communicate, and why a document can be genuine while still being unsuitable, unenforceable, commercially weak, or unacceptable from a compliance perspective.Inside, readers will explore: - What an SBLC really is and what it is not - How MT760 messages are used and misunderstood - The anatomy of a legitimate standby letter of credit - The role of ISP98, UCP600, and contractual wording - Common fraud patterns in SBLC-related proposals - Red flags involving brokers, paper banks, upfront fees, fake confirmations, and unrealistic liquidity claims - Verification protocols before relying on any bank instrument - AML, sanctions, beneficial ownership, and financial crime risks - The myths surrounding SBLC monetization, leasing, and secondary markets - How institutions can build a structured SBLC risk review frameworkThis book does not promote SBLC monetization or promise access to funding. It takes the opposite approach: disciplined verification before reliance.A polished document, a respected bank name, or a technical message type is never enough. Professionals must ask harder questions: Who issued it? Through what channel? For what obligation? Under what wording? With what enforceable rights? And with what legal, AML, sanctions, and operational risk?MT760 Unmasked is a serious, practical, and risk-focused guide for anyone who needs to understand SBLCs beyond the language of brokers, shortcuts, and market folklore.
