In the past few years, the United States has become one of the world’s 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 will give keynote remarks at the launch of a new report from Hudson Institute’s Kleptocracy Initiative, <A HREF="https://www.hudson.org/research/13981-the-united-states-of-anonymity" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The United States of Anonymity</A>. 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’s financial system.
After Sen. Whitehouse’s remarks, Casey Michel will present the key findings of his report, followed by a response from Jack Blum, and a panel discussion moderated by Charles Davidson.
This event will be held in room 562 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
