WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department has pinpointed nearly $5 billion in bank or other transactions linked to suspected human smuggling between 2023 and 2025 — a staggering figure that the Trump administration is vowing to reduce, The Post can reveal.

The Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) found $4.9 billion in suspicious exchanges by combing through Bank Secrecy Act data between Jan. 1, 2023, and Dec. 31, 2025, according to a forthcoming Financial Trend Analysis report.

Much of that amount included “excessive cash activity conducted along the southwest border of the United States,” as well as transfers along other “common migration routes” and that had “unverifiable relationships between originators and beneficiaries.”

“The transactions involved multiple discrepancies, including inconsistent payment amounts, unexplained refunds, and contracts that did not align with actual money movements,” the report noted.

Some of the flagged payments totaled more than $3 million for charter flights believed to be linked to human smuggling between the Middle East and Central America.

“The filer connected one of the involved companies to human smuggling incidents, including a chartered flight carrying Indian nationals from Egypt to Jamaica through the UAE, and finally on to Nicaragua,” where the migrants were able to attempt to enter the US by land.

In total, FinCEN analysts examined 67,540 BSA reports, with a peak of 29,266 suspicious transactions recorded in 2024.

Just 11,018 BSA reports were filed in 2025 — a 62% decline from the previous year amid heightened scrutiny of potential smuggling or trafficking operations, particularly in the lead-up to the US hosting the 2026 World Cup.

The US hosted the greatest number of suspicious transactions — with California and Texas the states from where the most reports originated — followed by Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Colombia.

At least 97% of the transactions involved Money Services Businesses (MSBs), while around 3% were associated with banks. Around $3 billion — or 61% — of the actual money flagged in BSA data came from traditional depository institutions.

And 59% of the reports showed “no verifiable familial connection” between the two parties involved in the transaction.

“Many human smuggling networks generate profit for larger transnational criminal organizations, including Mexico-based drug cartels,” said FinCEN Director Andrea Gacki in a statement.

Selena Gomez and her mother have been accused of fraud in a lawsuit filed by investors in her mental health company Wondermind.

The suit alleges founders 'falsely' represented the crumbling organization as one poised for success.

Founded by Selena Gomez, her mom Mandy Teefey and Daniella Pierson in 2021, Wondermind was caught up in controversy last year following The Cut's exposé revealing alleged disarray behind-the-scenes of the company.

Now investors who poured $1.2 million into the organization claim they were left in the dark about the problems going on in the company for more than three years before The Cut's expose was published.

The plaintiffs, Wondermind SRS 44, LLC and Bespoke Wondermind SPV I, LLC, are seeking a jury trial in the lawsuit filed against Gomez, Teefey, Pierson and Wondermind Global Inc. alleging they were hoodwinked into believing the company had the resources necessary for success while, unbeknownst to them, it 'was in the midst of collapse.'

In court documents obtained by The Daily Mail, the plaintiffs allege: 'The Defendants falsely represented that the Company had the infrastructure, leadership, and resources necessary for the Company to launch into a profitable, one-of-its-kind mental health and wellness platform.

'Among other misrepresentations, the Company, including through the Individual Defendants, who directly solicited the Plaintiffs’ investments, told the Plaintiffs three things: that Selena Gomez, one of the most famous women on earth with a billion-dollar brand and a platform unmatched in social media, would be actively building the Company as its head of marketing; that co-CEO Daniella Pierson was a $200 million executive whose prior businesses generated $40 million a year and who had already secured institutional employer partnerships with JPMorgan and Fidelity; and that a full slate of revenue generating initiatives, including advertising deals, celebrity cover stories, and a groundbreaking app, were already underway. These representations were false.'

The claim alleges that Gomez 'purported to sign a contract obligating her to perform' only to ignore it. 'The partnerships did not exist. The initiatives never materialized. The app was never built.

'And for three years, while the Company quietly collapsed around them, not one of its founders, officers, or directors said a word to the investors whose money was funding the collapse,' the claim alleges.

Only 'after years of concealment' did investors learn about the inner workings of the company through The Cut expose.
