JOINT CHIEFS OF GLOBAL TAX ENFORCEMENT CRYPTO ASSETS RISK INDICATORS FOR
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS


JULY 31, 2024

The J5, a collaborative partnership among tax authorities and law enforcement
from five countries, has identified several risk indicators that financial
institutions should be aware of. Risk indicators play a pivotal role in
enhancing the ability of financial institutions to detect and report money
laundering and illicit activities involving crypto assets. To counteract these
risks, timely identification allows institutions to intervene and to report to
the relevant authorities contributing to the overall integrity of the financial
system and ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

U.S. HOUSE FINANCIAL SURVEILLANCE REPORT: HOW FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
COMMANDEERED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO SPY ON AMERICANS


MARCH 9, 2024

The Committee on the Judiciary and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization
of the Federal Government are charged by the House of Representatives with
upholding fundamental American civil liberties. As a part of this mission, the
Committee and Select Subcommittee have uncovered startling evidence that the
federal government was engaged in broad financial surveillance, prying into the
private transactions of American consumers. This financial surveillance was not
predicated on any specific evidence of particularized criminal conduct and, even
worse, it keyed on terms and specific transactions that concerned core political
and religious expression protected by the Constitution.

IRAN, U.S. ARMY


ASYMMETRIC WARFARE GROUP IRAN QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE


JANUARY 31, 2024

Since its inception in 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly
disrupted the stability of the Middle East and fostered terrorist threats
throughout the world. Iran exploited the power vacuum which followed the Iraq
War in 2003 and Arab Spring in 2011 to significantly extend its regional
influence, primarily through the establishment of proxy groups and new
relationships with existing regional terrorist groups. International sanctions
against Iran, levied in response to Iran’s support for terrorism and nuclear
activities, constrained Iran’s actions, but did not end them, nor did they stop
Iran from enhancing its conventional military enterprise.

(U//FOUO) FBI DOMESTIC TERRORISM REFERENCE GUIDE: SOVEREIGN CITIZEN VIOLENT
EXTREMISM


JANUARY 29, 2024

Sovereign citizens are US citizens who claim to have special knowledge or
heritage that renders them immune from government authority and laws. Although
the ideology itself is not illegal, sovereign citizen violent extremists express
their anti-government or anti-authority violent extremist beliefs through the
use or threat of force or violence, while sovereign citizen criminals use these
beliefs to justify non-violent activities, such as fraud and theft. Sovereign
citizen violent extremists or sovereign citizen criminals may attempt to frame
legal encounters with government officials as negotiable commercial
transactions, or claim legal immunity based on “common law rights of man.”

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CRITICAL INCIDENT REVIEW ACTIVE SHOOTER AT ROBB ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL


JANUARY 18, 2024

On May 24, 2022, a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas,
shook the nation. With just two days left in the school year, a former student
armed with an AR-15 style assault rifle took the lives of 19 students and two
teachers, physically injured at least 17 others, and left countless families,
friends, and a community grief-stricken for their unimaginable loss. In the
aftermath of the tragedy, there was significant public criticism of the law
enforcement response to the shooting. At the request of then Uvalde Mayor Don
McLaughlin, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on May 29, 2022, that
it would conduct a Critical Incident Review (CIR) of the law enforcement
response to the mass shooting. Recognizing that “[n]othing can undo the pain
that has been inflicted on the loved ones of the victims, the survivors, and the
entire community of Uvalde,” the Attorney General stated that the goal of the
CIR was to “assess what happened and to provide guidance moving forward.”

(U//FOUO) U.S. ARMY THREAT INTEGRATION CENTER (ARTIC) REPORT: INDICATIONS OF
EXTREMISM IN THE MILITARY 2017-2019


DECEMBER 5, 2023

Due to indications of an increase in extremist activity by former and current
military personnel, evidenced by a spike in open source reporting, the ARTIC has
produced this report examining 22 cases of current and former DoD members
expressing support for and or allegedly affiliated with extremist groups while
serving in or having recently separated from the military from 2017 – 2019. For
the purposes of this report, the ARTIC considered an organization to be
“extremist” if its core ideology espouses racially motivated hatred, such as
Neo-Nazism, white supremacism, or black separatism, and or religious hatred,
such as espoused by al-Qa’ida or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. The
majority of the information within this report was obtained via open sources.
Due to the nature of open source reporting, and the possibility of ongoing
investigations involving DoD personnel within this report, some of the
allegations presented may prove to be unfounded.

DHS PUBLIC-PRIVATE ANALYTIC EXCHANGE PROGRAM REPORT: COMBATTING ILLICIT ACTIVITY
UTILIZING FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIES AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES PHASE II


NOVEMBER 29, 2023

Phase 2 of the research serves to build upon the foundation laid in Phase 1. The
Phase 2 research further explores: the criminal groups utilizing digital assets
in illegal activities; how these criminal groups are conducting illicit activity
and recruiting members; cryptocurrency ATMs and Point-of-Sales illicit uses;
generative AI applications in cybercrime; darknet market use of digital assets;
the evolving use of cryptocurrencies (especially the year to date change);
criminal activity’s impact on government and private sector; and additional
policy recommendations. Although illicit use can never be completely eliminated,
it can be mitigated by increased consumer knowledge, proactive law enforcement
investigations, and better practices and regulations issued by key stakeholders.

DHS PUBLIC-PRIVATE ANALYTIC EXCHANGE PROGRAM REPORT: COMBATTING ILLICIT ACTIVITY
UTILIZING FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIES AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES PHASE I


NOVEMBER 29, 2023

Private and public sector analysts and subject matter experts working in the
cyber financial landscape gathered through a series of meetings to examine the
use of financial technologies and cryptocurrencies by illicit actors. The key
research points investigated include discovering the most common illicit finance
activities, the most exploited elements of financial technologies, the legal
vulnerabilities that allow exploitation, pseudo-anonymity in online
transactions, weaknesses in Know-Your-Customer laws, and the risks of use
associated with other emerging blockchain applications (i.e. NFTs). The research
gathered from investigating these areas led to the development of suggested,
effective changes to reduce illicit activity in this space and identifying the
key stakeholders to implement these changes. This paper seeks to provide
guidance in navigating cryptocurrencies, emerging digital payment solutions, and
other blockchain applications to both consumers and stakeholders to minimize the
illicit use of these platforms. While illicit use cannot be eliminated
altogether, it can certainly be reduced with better consumer knowledge and
better practices/regulations issued by key stakeholders.

(U//FOUO) MICHIGAN HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREA THREAT ASSESSMENT 2023


NOVEMBER 28, 2023

The threat from the production, use, and trafficking of illegal drugs throughout
the State of Michigan continues to be of great concern. In 2022, the demand and
availability of some commonly used drugs increased while others slightly
decreased compared to 2021. Also, several drugs showed an increase in use, while
others showed a slight decrease throughout the state during the 2022 reporting
period. According to drug teams’ survey responses on the most significant threat
in their area of responsibility (AOR), as well as contributing factors such as
availability and seizures, the drug threat ranking has remained the same from
the previous reporting period.

(U//FOUO) NCTC REPORT: TERRORIST AND MILITANT ATTACKS ON ELECTRICITY
INFRASTRUCTURE CONTINUE AT HIGH RATE


NOVEMBER 13, 2023

Terrorist and militant attacks on electric power infrastructure outside the
United States in 2021 and 2022 occurred at more than three times the average
annual number of attacks from 2015 through 2020, according to an NCTC database.
The peak of 101 attacks in 2021 at least partly reflected incidents attributed
to ISIS’s “economic war” campaign, judging from press reporting and terrorist
social media. We expect the high rate of attacks to continue for the remainder
of 2023 because of the accessibility and ongoing vulnerability of electricity
infrastructure and the number of well-publicized attacks in 2021-22.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY


(U//FOUO) CISA REPORT: CONTINUITY OF THE ECONOMY RESPONSE


NOVEMBER 6, 2023

The key finding of the COTE response is that, broadly, COTE plan requirements
included in the FY 2021 NDAA are addressed through existing authorities,
policies, plans, and frameworks. Creation of a COTE plan with a singular
economic focus, coupled with new response frameworks, has the potential to
create confusion and duplicate existing response and recovery mechanisms.
However, the fundamentally important concept of economic recovery and response
detailed in the COTE requirement should be deeply integrated within existing
incident response frameworks to avoid creating an additional layer of
potentially divergent planning and response activities operating in parallel to
already established procedures. In lieu of developing a standalone COTE plan,
the federal government should continue to refine and strengthen existing
authorities, policies, plans, and frameworks for Federal Mission Resilience and
domestic incident preparedness, response, and recovery. This COTE response
provides several specific recommendations for how the federal government can
continue to enhance the ability to maintain and restore the U.S. economy in
response to a significant event.

CHINA, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY


(U//FOUO) DHS REPORT: CHINESE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING ANTI-US SOCIAL
MEDIA CONTENT WITH LIMITED REACH


AUGUST 7, 2023

A People’s Republic of China (PRC) municipal government-controlled media outlet
is very likely directing a cluster of English-language, coordinated inauthentic
Twitter accounts that posted content denigrating the United States (see
graphics). The cluster of accounts, which we have dubbed SPICYPANDA, has been
active from at least January 2021 and has published sophisticated content, but
it failed to grow a follower base thus far. DHS attributed SPICYPANDA to the
municipal media entity Chongqing International Communications Center (CICC)
based on its leadership’s creation of SPICYPANDA’s anti-US messaging campaign,
its overt ties to a website promoted by the accounts, and its Western social
media messaging accolades and capabilities.

(U//FOUO) FBI DOMESTIC TERRORISM REFERENCE GUIDE: ANARCHIST VIOLENT EXTREMISM


JULY 29, 2023

Anarchist violent extremists are anti-government/anti-authority violent
extremists who consider capitalism and centralized government to be unnecessary
and oppressive, and who further their political or social goals wholly or in
part through illegal activities involving threat or use of force or violence in
violation of criminal law. In support of their goals of eliminating capitalism
and the current form of the US Government, anarchist violent extremists oppose
economic globalization; political, economic, and social hierarchies based on
class, religion, race, gender, or private ownership of capital; and external
forms of authority represented by centralized government, the military, and law
enforcement. Anarchist violent extremists believe the abolition of capitalism
and the state would restore equality and encourage the need for mutual
cooperation.
