LOS ANGELES - December 16, 2024 - The Center for the Study of Space Crime, Piracy, and Governance (CSCPG), an independent, nonpartisan think tank, today announced that it will be presenting a webinar Space: The Next Frontier for Money Laundering? on January 29, 2025. The online presentation will delve into money laundering scenarios featuring space commerce and examine potential impacts on anti-money laundering (AML) processes.
“The Space economy, which is on track to pass the trillion-dollar mark by the end of the decade, is an ideal environment for money laundering,” said Marc Feldman, Executive Director of CSCPG and co-author of the upcoming book Space Piracy: Preparing for a Criminal Crisis in Orbit. “The space industry is inherently international, with opaque corporate entities pursuing high-dollar cross-border deals that are governed by few enforceable laws. It’s a money launderer’s dream come true.”
The webinar will discuss how the risk of space money laundering will affect financial institutions, space corporations, government agencies, and law enforcement. It will explore the following topics:
- Why space is such a potentially appealing venue for money laundering
- Space money laundering scenarios
- The prospective players in space money laundering
- The deficiency of current space law and law enforcement in combatting space money laundering
- Potential solutions to the space money laundering problem
