In this MasterClass, Sigma360 CEO Stuart Jones is joined by former DEA agent David Tyree and financial integrity expert Catherine Woods to explore how criminal networks are evolving and what that means for financial institutions today.
You’ll hear how Chinese money laundering networks, mirror transfers, and new FTO designations are changing the risk landscape. More importantly, you'll learn why traditional AML controls are often a step behind and how practical tools like flow-of-funds analysis and typology training can help close the gap.
For those responsible for protecting their institutions from financial crime, this is a rare look behind the curtain from the people who have seen it up close.

Developed by a multidisciplinary team of network risk specialists, investigators, and data scientists. This capability combines deep field experience with cutting- edge analytics to meet the realities of today’s evolving risk environment.
Most systems use basic lists of names downloaded from regulatory bodies — missing shell structures, layered ownership, and the alias networks cartels use to hide operations.
Lengthy set up, requiring complex engineering to get started and/or add new content leads to inertia and increasing risk exposure that organizations could otherwise avoid.
Legacy approaches do not fully integrate sanctions, adverse media, PEP, corporate registry data and other reporting to provide a holistic and persistent view of direct and indirect risk.
Explore the key insights from our April webinar, where experts discussed the evolving risks posed by Mexican drug cartels to financial institutions and corporates. Learn about the implications of recent Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designations and strategies for effective risk management.
