On May 12, 2015, FinCEN held its first Law Enforcement Awards Ceremony, during which Director Shasky Calvery recognized criminal cases where BSA data played a significant role in successful prosecutions. These cases demonstrate that the reporting and transparency that financial institutions provide under FinCEN’s regulations can result in some of the most important information available to law enforcement. The award recipients are:
- BSA Data Provides Leads that Help Identify a Multi-Million Dollar Ponzi Scheme
- BSA Data Helps Dismantle Transnational Money Laundering and Health Care Fraud Organization
- BSA Reporting Initiates Case Involving Major Black Market Peso Exchange Scheme
- Numerous BSA Records Aid in Liberty Reserve Investigation
- BSA Data Leads to Discovery of Significant Bribery Scam
