LPL金融被罰1800萬美元!洗錢合規失職大揭秘




LPL Financial同SEC和解,支付1800萬美元反洗錢指控罰款

美國證券交易委員會(SEC)宣布對經紀商及投資顧問LPL Financial (NASDAQ:LPLA) LLC提出指控,指其在反洗錢(AML)計劃中存在多項失誤。為了解決這些指控,LPL同意支付1800萬美元的民事罰款,並改善其反洗錢程序及政策。

根據SEC的命令,LPL在2019年5月至2023年12月期間,持續存在顧客身份識別程序的問題,包括在未充分驗證顧客身份的情況下,未能及時關閉帳戶。此外,LPL未能關閉或限制數以千計的高風險帳戶,例如與大麻及外國帳戶相關的帳戶,這些帳戶根本不符合公司的反洗錢政策。

SEC執法部門副主任Stacy Bogert強調,聯邦法律要求經紀商必須驗證顧客身份,並定期進行顧客盡職調查,以協助政府檢測及防止洗錢行為。她補充道,當像LPL這樣的公司未能履行其反洗錢義務時,會使證券市場面臨風險。

SEC的命令認定LPL故意違反《1934年證券交易法》第17(a)條及其下的第17a-8條規則。LPL未承認或否認SEC的調查結果,但同意接受譴責及停止令,並支付1800萬美元的罰款。SEC的命令還要求LPL持續與合規顧問合作,評估並提出對公司反洗錢政策及程序的修改建議。

這次事件突顯了金融機構在反洗錢合規方面的重要性。隨著金融科技的迅速發展,許多公司在顧客身份驗證和風險管理方面面臨挑戰。LPL的案例提醒我們,合規不僅是法律要求,更是維護市場信心的基石。金融機構必須投資於技術和人力資源,以確保在這些方面的合規性,否則將面臨重大的財務和聲譽風險。

在當前全球經濟環境下,合規措施的有效性將成為金融機構能否在競爭中立於不敗之地的關鍵。隨著越來越多的監管機構加強對反洗錢的監管,企業必須採取前瞻性措施,以應對未來可能出現的挑戰。

A dynamic, ultra-realistic action shot of a snowboarder performing a high-air jump on a snowy mountain slope. The rider wears a bright green winter jacket, black snow pants, gloves, and a dark beanie, with reflective goggles catching the cold mountain light. A cloud of visible breath escapes from the rider’s mouth in the freezing air. Snow explodes upward from the snowboard, creating sharp, frozen particles suspended mid-air. The background features a dramatic high-altitude landscape with forested slopes and distant mountains under soft, cold blue lighting. Capture cinematic contrast, DSLR realism, 85mm lens, f/2.8, crisp details, slow-motion energy, dynamic composition, atmospheric depth, high-clarity sports photography. In a brightly lit indoor setting, likely a press conference room, two uniformed police officers flank a man in a plain brown t-shirt. The officers, wearing blue shirts with epaulets and badges, have a firm but neutral grip on the man's shoulders, directing him towards the cameras. The man [image uploaded] with short dark hair, is smiling subtly and maintaining eye contact with the lens.

Stretching across the foreground is a white-draped table, upon which a diverse collection of women's underwear is meticulously displayed. There are dozens of pairs in various colors, patterns, and styles, including solid hues of red, blue, pink, and black, as well as leopard print and other designs. Several microphones with news station logos are placed among the undergarments, pointing towards the man and officers.

Behind the table, a throng of journalists and photographers are actively documenting the event. Many are holding professional video cameras with large lenses and attached lights, while others are using DSLR cameras with flash attachments, and some are capturing footage with their smartphones. The room is illuminated by rectangular fluorescent light panels on the ceiling, casting an even glow. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal public presentation, possibly a police press briefing or an arrest announcement. 上身近鏡
