Abstract
Shows how terrorists finance their operations from crimes like immigration benefit fraud, cigarette smuggling, kidnapping and drug trafficking, and also petty crimes like benefit card theft, identity theft and welfare benefit fraud; this is especially easy if they avoid the banking system and use a cheque cashing business. Concludes that legislators and regulators need to plug gaps in existing anti‐money laundering legislation, by regulating cheque cashers more aggressively and enlisting help from traditional banks; banks should identify individuals making cash deposits into bank accounts, identify money transmitter clients, and close accounts of clients who are not licensed; and law enforcement agencies should look more strategically at Suspicious Activity Reports filed by banks.
