E75: What Elon Musk needs to know about AML and compliance
Elon Musk, owner of ‘X’ (or Twitter), has announced plans to turn the social media platform into an app that is the centre of ‘someone’s entire financial life”.

In the latest episode of The Laundry – our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Jason Mikula, Publisher of Fintech Business Weekly to discuss what Elon Musk needs to know about AML and compliance.
