Anonymous companies are behind just about every financial crime. They are the vehicle of choice for laundering money obtained through illicit activity.

The pervasive use of secret shell and front companies also impacts the broader economy. As such, more and more businesses are speaking out.
Testimony, reports, and independent assessments all find that anonymous companies are a threat to global peace and security and undermine our ability to keep dangerous actors from accessing our financial system.
