一句话看懂
Trump administration ends anti-money laundering rule requiring shell companies to report ownership. The move guts a law once hailed as the most significant anti-corruption measure in decades.
背景
The Corporate Transparency Act, passed in 2021 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, required shell companies to disclose their true owners to the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). It was introduced by then-Senator Marco Rubio, who called it 'the most significant anti-corruption & money laundering law in decades.' The rule was designed to close a gap in the U.S. financial system that Treasury itself had called its 'most significant and longstanding gap' in combating money laundering and terrorism financing. The Trump administration has now repealed this rule, effectively gutting the law.
