Speakers:
In the past few years, the United States has become one of the world鈥檚 leading financial secrecy jurisdictions, allowing a host of kleptocrats and other criminals to hide illicit wealth while threatening our democracy and national security.
On November 30, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse gave keynote remarks at the launch of a new report from 华体会鈥檚 Kleptocracy Initiative, The United States of Anonymity. Written by journalist Casey Michel, the report explores the emergence of anonymous companies and trusts, and argues for a federal solution to lift the veil of secrecy shrouding America鈥檚 financial system.
After Sen. Whitehouse鈥檚 remarks, Casey Michel presented the key findings of his report, followed by a response from Jack Blum, and a panel discussion moderated by Charles Davidson.
