A Dissenting View: Some Guarded Optimism on Combating Terrorists Money Laundering
Overview Assuming that foreign governments continue to cooperate, whether as a result of a U.S. Government threat of sanctions or otherwise, the PATRIOT Act does appear to have raised the cost of establishing and employing a worldwide laundering network. In this way, the Act resembles the export licensing and enforcement regime built during the Reagan Administration to block shipments of technology to the old Soviet Union. That effort did not end all such shipments, but required the Communist leaders to devote far more resources to procurement. Perhaps that will be the result of the new emphasis on money laundering investigations in the war on terrorism.
