2021 started with the enactment in the United States of “The Corporate Transparency Act,” which is the landmark ant-money-laundering/beneficial ownership law. It can be found entrenched in the National Defense Authorization Act — see Section 6401, Title LXIV). This resulted in the U.S. Treasury Department finalizing beneficial ownership regulations at the start of 2024, while also preparing new regulations against money laundering related to the real estate and investment advisory industries - more on money-laundering in the section on the topic below. 2024 also started with President Biden signing into law the Foreign Extortion Prevention Act.
