NOTABLE DIFFERENCES IN THE 2015 vs. 2018 REPORTS
ISIS
2015 - No mention of ISIS exploiting the US Financial System
vs.
2018 - "[U.S. Financial System used] to move funds in support of ISIS and its regional affiliates throughout the world."
HUMAN TRAFFICKING
2015 - no mention of human trafficking
VS.
2018 - "The
crimes in which TCOs are engaged, including corruption, drug trafficking, fraud, extortion,
human smuggling, and human trafficking, are also perpetrated by domestic criminals who misuse
the U.S. financial system to launder their illicit proceeds. "

CHARITIES
2015 - Charities... "individuals supporting various terrorist groups seeking to raise
funds in the United States under the auspices of charitable giving, but outside of any charitable
organization recognized by the U.S. government. "
VS.
2018 - US Charities are a vulnerability exploited by terrorists..."However, there continues to be greater TF risk for the small number of
U.S. tax-exempt charitable organizations that operate in, send funds to, or have affiliated organizations in high-risk regions where ISIS and its regional affiliates, AQ and its regional affiliates,
Al-Shabaab, ANF and other terrorist groups are most active, such asAfghanistan, Pakistan,
Somalia, Syria, and Yemen."
2015 - Lots of example cases and details written up in the report about Charities
VS.
2018 - Little to no detail is shared in the report re: Charities
<Theory - 66,000+ sealed court docs have something to do with the charities?
