Major U.S. AML, Money Laundering & Real Estate Enforcement Cases

Major U.S. AML, Money Laundering & Real Estate Enforcement Cases

50 LANDMARK ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS · SANCTIONS · FORFEITURE · REAL ESTATE

Every case here shares one professional vigilance indicator that, had it been noticed, could have prevented the violation — these aren't hypothetical red flags, they're drawn directly from the enforcement record.

50 real cases spanning Russia-Ukraine sanctions violations (brokers facilitating transactions for blocked oligarchs, personal liability under IEEPA), sovereign wealth fund fraud, mortgage schemes, and Ponzi operations — each structured as legal facts (court, charges, penalty), red-flag indicators specific to the case, and a compliance takeaway calibrated to the front-line real estate professional's perspective.

Why the cost makes sense: a Miami broker who didn't screen a client against the OFAC SDN list before taking a commission on a blocked property paid $1,076,923 to settle — the red flag existed before the transaction closed, not after.
