Protecting Citizens against Financial Crimes

A graduate of Yale Law School, Jeffrey Douglas Kaliel is a partner at Kaliel, PLLC, in Washington, DC. Jeffrey Douglas Kaliel focuses on the banking sector and has won complex class action lawsuits that earned him national recognition.

Financial crimes have impacted the American economy significantly. In 2010, the proceeds of criminal activities generated in the United States were about 2 percent of the nation’s economy. This figure is significant, given the size of the US economy.

Financial crimes include activities aimed at obtaining wealth illegally, through deceit, or by aiding in the protection of such unlawful wealth. These activities include fraud, electronic crime, money laundering, terrorist financing, bribery, and corruption.

To protect citizens against financial crimes, the US government monitors financial transactions. Through any of its agencies, the government can make arrests and carry out investigations on suspicious or reported transactions. Tracking financial transactions has enabled the government to significantly reduce financial crimes against United States citizens.
