RT Article T1 The Banco Delta Asia affair: the USA patriot act and allegations of money laundering in Macau JF Crime, law and social change VO 50 IS 4/5 SP 293 OP 305 A1 Gaylord, Mark S. LA English YR 2008 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1881672174 AB The anti-money laundering laws of the US are the most powerful in the world. Their broad provisions and extra-territorial reach pose risks to financial institutions around the world. Although they are not widely understood, recent cases demonstrate how these laws operate. In this paper I briefly describe Macau, the new gambling capital of the world; analyze the alleged role of Banco Delta Asia (BDA), a small, family-owned bank in Macau, in money laundering on behalf of North Korea; and offer some observations on the controversial use of Section 311 of the USA Patriot Act.
