John Smith, former Director of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and current co-chair of Morrison & Foerster’s National Security practice, sat down with Kieran Beer in his latest episode of Financial Crime Matters to discuss the past, present, and future of the sanctions world as we know it.
In the podcast, John discusses the purpose of OFAC, the role Congress plays in setting Sanctions, and how previous and current administrations have taken differing approaches to doing so. Kieran tells viewers, “If you work in Financial Crime, or simply want to know how Sanctions have changed the world … you need to listen to this podcast.”
