We have done it with the cartels, and now we are going to do it with these Somali fraudsters.
Treasury has something called FinCEN, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. We are coming in, and we’re coming in tomorrow, we are announcing that four investigations into money service businesses that we believe may have wired money out of the country, a lot of the ill-gotten stolen money over to the Middle East, over to Somalia.
We’ll see where that’s going. We’re announcing investigations into four of those money service businesses. We are going to put in what we call a geographical targeting order. There’s something called suspicious activity report. If a certain amount of money gets wired anywhere. We’re lowering that to 3,000, and we’re also targeting the two counties here, and we’re going to do enhanced surveillance.
From now on, anyone who wires money out from one of these money service businesses has to check a box saying whether they are on public assistance.
