Technical deep dives, regulatory trends, 
and founder takes

How to run an enterprise BSA/AML risk assessment: FFIEC categories, inherent vs. residual risk, refresh triggers, examiner criticisms, program linkage.

How fuzzy name matching works in sanctions screening: Levenshtein, Jaro-Winkler, phonetic keys, OFAC's own scorer, threshold trade-offs, and validation.

Serial document reuse detection catches one statement, stub, or ID recycled across unrelated applicants. Why single-file review misses it.

Placement, layering, and integration: the techniques, transaction-data signatures, and controls at each stage, and why real schemes break the model.

Loan document fraud detection tests bank statements, pay stubs, and tax docs as a package — the red flags underwriters miss on visual review.

Document fraud statistics from FinCEN, FBI IC3, and FTC — and what those figures miss about edited PDFs, counterfeit templates, and file-level detection.

How to spot a fake certificate of incorporation in KYB: registrar mismatch, edited seals, generated COIs, and serial reuse. Visual review is not enough.
