Day 252: SDN List

#QuickbiteCompliance day 252

🔍 The SDN List: Your Guide to Fighting Bad Guys  

Imagine your school has a “no-trade lunchbox” list. If someone steals snacks, they go on the list—and nobody can trade with them. The SDN List works like that for the U.S. government. It’s a list of people, companies, or groups (like terrorists or drug traffickers) banned from doing business with anyone in the U.S. 🇺🇸  

– Bad guys sneak around the list by:  

 – Hiding behind fake companies (e.g., a “toy store” secretly moving illegal money) .  

 – Using friends/family to open bank accounts or run businesses for them .  

 – Faking IDs to trick banks into thinking they’re someone else .  

💥 Why it matters:  

If a bank, business, or even a hospital accidentally deals with someone on the SDN List, they could:  

– Lose millions in fines 💸  

– Face jail time 🔒  

– Get cut off from the global money system 🌍  

🛡️ How we fight back:  

Tools like #InclusiveRegtech and #OpenSourceAML help everyone—big banks or small shops—screen bad guys cheaply and fairly. For example:  

> “A coffee exporter used free AI tools to spot an SDN hiding in their supply chain—saving their business!”  

🌱 Together, we make finance safer.
