LAS VEGAS, July 9, 2024 ~ The BSA-AML Compliance Group has announced that the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Brian Nelson, will be a keynote speaker at the Annual BSA-AML Gaming Conference. The conference will be held from August 13-15 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Under Secretary Nelson's team is responsible for leading the U.S. government's efforts to combat illicit finance and protect the country's financial system from national security threats, both domestically and overseas. The Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence utilizes Treasury's policy, enforcement, intelligence, and regulatory tools to identify, disrupt, and disable terrorists, criminals, and other illicit actors. This office oversees several departments including FinCEN, OFAC, and the Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes.
Prior to joining Treasury, Under Secretary Nelson served as the Chief Legal Officer at LA28, the organizing committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. He also has previous government experience as a senior advisor and general counsel in the California Department of Justice where he focused on combating transnational criminal organizations and human trafficking networks. He also worked to build partnerships with states and international organizations to combat money laundering and high-tech crimes. Earlier in his career, he served as a special counsel and deputy chief of staff in the National Security Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.
