	Financial Crimes Enforcement Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (or FinCEN) is a bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury that collects and analyzes information about financial transactions in order to combat money laundering and other financial crimes.
		In May 1994, its mission was broadened to include regulatory responsibilities and the Treasury Department's Office of Financial Enforcement (OFE) was merged with FinCEN in October 1994.
		On September 26, 2002, after Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act was passed, Treasury Order 180-01 [1] made it an official bureau in the Department of the Treasury.

		Both were created when the administration of President Bush announced on May 8, 2004 that the Executive Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and allocated resources from the Treasury Department would be brought under the new office's control.
		The Under Secretary for Enforcement provided oversight and policy guidance for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the U.S. Customs Service, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center; the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the U.S. Secret Service, the Executive Office for Asset Forefeiture, and the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
		The former was moved into the United States Department of Justice, while the latter was kept within the Department of the Treasury, according to the Treasury's organization chart, under the Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy.

		It is therefore of great importance that those statutes that exist to aid crime victims recognize the victims of identity theft as targets of a serious crime who may require assistance in pulling their lives back together.
		Financial assistance is typically reserved for victims of violent crimes where the perpetrator has not been ordered to provide restitution or does not have the means to provide effective restitution.
		Financial assistance, unlike restitution, is able to provide for and compensate immediate financial outlays without concern for the offender’s ability to pay.

	Comment Letter on Efforts to Combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Activity, April 2002
		We believe that limiting requests to a financial institution's current (i.e., non-archived) records would be consistent with the purposes of the rule (e.g., assisting law enforcement in current investigations and preventing future crimes), and would help to mitigate the costs of complying with information requests.
		As proposed, the definition of financial institution for purposes of Section 103.110(b) is limited to five types of financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act.
		If the definition of financial institution in the proposed rule were not broadened as we suggest, the only entity within a mutual fund complex that would qualify for the safe harbor would be the fund's principal underwriter, since it is a broker-dealer.

		It is thus appropriate for all counter-narcotics efforts -- from the passage of criminal laws and enabling legislation, to the development of enforcement programs, and the implementation of specific police actions -- to include considerations of the financial part of the criminal cycle.
		To build new law enforcement resources through focused and sophisticated analysis of the elements of major cases and of trends and patterns of money laundering and related financial crimes: FinCEN brings together various law enforcement, regulatory, and banking components in order to focus on and discuss problematic topics of mutual concern.

		As its name states, FinCEN is a network -- a link between law enforcement, financial and regulatory communities on the international, Federal, state and local level.
		Because the changing financial world creates vast opportunities for criminals to hide illicit proceeds, FinCEN works with its domestic and international partners to maximize the information sharing network and find new ways to create cost-effective and efficient measures to prevent and detect financial crime.
		This includes Crime Bill funds to support international counter-money laundering efforts ($1 million), and to initiate a pilot program that will allow communication among law enforcement agencies, and enable the disbursement of information quickly and effectively ($0.5 million).

		Using various methods for analyzing and delivering information to law enforcement, our main objective is to add value to the information we collect through BSA reporting and record keeping requirements from financial institutions and deliver it in the most effective way possible to law enforcement.
		Law enforcement is reporting increased criminal financial activity involving methodologies by which monetary value is moved outside of or parallel to traditional banking or other financial institution channels.
		Because of the lack of useful data concerning the proceeds of all crimes other than drug trafficking, the Committees recommended that a private contractor be engaged to propose a methodology to address the data issue, as well as to produce an estimate.

	Anti-Money Laundering Proposal Would Involve Information Sharing, March 2002
		Section 314(b) of the Act permits financial institutions, upon providing notice to Treasury, to share information with one another in order to better identify and report to the federal government concerning activities that may involve money laundering or terrorism.
		The form would include relevant information about the financial institution and representations that the financial institution (1) will maintain adequate procedures to protect the security and confidentiality of the information, and (2) will not use any shared information for any purpose other than as authorized under the rule.
		The proposed rule provides a safe harbor for financial institutions that share information in compliance with the rule, stating that they are not liable for such sharing or for any failure to provide notice of sharing.

		Inclusion of casinos in the definition of financial institution[s] in 31 CFR Part 103 was among the specific recommendations in the October 1984 report of the President's Commission on Organized Crime, ``The Cash Connection: Organized Crime, Financial Institutions, and Money Laundering''.
		As noted, the statutory definition of financial institution includes any establishment licensed as a ``gaming establishment,'' whether the licensing authority is a state, a municipality or other state subdivision, or one of the licensing authorities recognized by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
		Second, card clubs are at least as vulnerable as other gaming establishments to use by money launderers and those seeking to commit tax evasion or other financial crimes, both because of their size and because those institutions lack many of the controls found at casinos.
