Treasury Press Release

 

A little housekeeping…

Sorry for not doing it sooner, but I cleaned up the events calendar. There is now the Africa ACAMS conference in December, the MENA ACAMS Conference & the NY Risk Management Conference in January, and also a placeholder for the UK's Department for Business, Innovation & Skill's Export Control Conference in London. And I put in the link to the winter ACAMS conference in Hollywood, FL.

I've got some PTO coming up in a few weeks – while the kids are off in school, I will make a concerted effort to go through all the pages and clean them up and see what else I can add to make mrwatchlist.com a valuable ongoing resource.

I also will update the Publications page with my last article on Bitcoin, despite being a tad off-topic.

Please, if you know of content that I don't have here, or content that is outdated, please say something – this is my off-hours attempt at staying current and every helping hand is greatly welcome.
