A customer who runs a cryptoasset automated teller machine (ATM) comes into a financial institution and deposits a larger than usual amount. When asked about the deposit, the customer answers there has been broader adoption of cryptoassets in the region where the ATM is located. Which additional information about the business would indicate high risk for money laundering? (Select Two.)
Money laundering risk increases if the business operates in or near high-risk jurisdictions (D) or regions associated with narcotics production (C), as these are common sources of illicit funds.
An increase in volume and users (A) or supporting various cryptoassets (B) alone does not necessarily increase ML risk. Recent licensing (E) may indicate regulatory compliance, potentially lowering risk.
Under FATF guidance, ''unhosted wallets'' are:
Unhosted wallets are self-custody wallets controlled directly by the user without third-party oversight, posing higher anonymity and AML risks.
The Financial Action Task Force recommends countries require virtual asset service providers to maintain all records of transactions and customer due diligence measures for a minimum of:
FATF standards specify that Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) must keep records related to transactions and customer due diligence for at least 5 years after the completion of the transaction or end of the business relationship. This retention period facilitates effective AML investigations and regulatory reviews.
DFSA AML Module aligns with this timeframe, reinforcing that comprehensive record retention supports audit trails and compliance verification.
When enhances international cooperation with regard to law enforcement investigations of virtual asset (VA) crimes?
Enhanced international cooperation in VA crime investigations is most effective when jurisdictions designate and empower Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) that can share intelligence, coordinate cross-border investigations, and liaise with counterparts internationally.
While FATF membership (A) facilitates cooperation, the operational hub for investigations is the FIU. Establishing new agencies (B) or smart contracts for sharing (C) are not established or effective methods.
DFSA guidance and FATF recommendations stress the central role of FIUs in enhancing cooperation and intelligence sharing for AML/CFT, including virtual assets.
Which blockchain analysis red flag is linked to terrorism financing?
Small-value repeated payments to known extremist donation wallets are a terrorism financing indicator noted in FATF typology reports.
