The Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AMLA) and subsequent amendments created a new FinCEN Whistleblower Program specifically to report potential Bank Secrecy Act, sanctions, and money laundering violations. Today, the whistleblower provisions are an important consideration as part of an institution’s BSA/AML and sanctions compliance.

Join Crowell partner Anand Sithian for an insightful panel at the 2024 Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) Assembly Hollywood Conference, where the panel will discuss this new program, FinCEN’s new Office of the Whistleblower, and how institutions can assess the adequacy of their internal reporting mechanisms to further ensure regulatory compliance. 

The panel will be moderated by Kelly Cooper, CAMS, Vice President, Global Financial Crimes Compliance, JPMorgan Chase & Co., and will include fellow panelist Matthew Haslinger, Executive Vice President, Chief BSA/AML/OFAC Officer, M&T Bank.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
