James McGinnis Joins Us As Contributing Expert
By Andrew Cochran
We have always strived to add Contributing Experts who work on the front lines against terrorist plots and networks and not just as an "armchair analyst." So one of my hopes when I opened this website in 2005 was to add a top officer, at an international financial institution, who oversees its Patriot Act/BSA compliance program and can write about detecting and preventing terrorist financing based on his or her daily activities. I am very pleased to now welcome a highly respected expert, James McGinnis, Managing Director for Anti-Money Laundering Compliance at BNP Paribas, to the Counterterrorism Blog as a Contributing Expert. James' career has been focused on achieving corporate compliance with federal laws, and since 2001 has specialized in ensuring compliance with the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing provisions in Title III of the USA Patriot Act. From 2001 until 2007, he was at JPMorganChase, where he created and implemented the Patriot Act compliance program. He then moved to Paribas in New York, where he implemented revisions to the Patriot Act program and directs it. In his role he advised Paribas throughout the decision to cease doing new business inside Iran.
