Let’s call this the Make Money Laundering & Terrorism Financing Great Again Act?
The beneficial ownership rule requires certain companies to report information about their true owners and controllers to the Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to combat financial crimes like money laundering and terrorism financing. This rule is part of the Corporate Transparency Act and aims to enhance transparency in business ownership.

Grok summarized this – “The U.S. Treasury Department said that American businesses no longer have to report who owns them, because of a court ruling and new government plans. Now, only foreign companies working in the U.S. need to share this info. This makes things easier for small U.S. businesses.”

Treasury Department @USTreasury
The Treasury Department is announcing today that, with respect to the Corporate Transparency Act, not only will it not enforce any penalties or fines associated with the beneficial ownership information reporting rule under the existing regulatory deadlines…
6:53 PM · Mar 2, 2025

…but it will further not enforce any penalties or fines against U.S. citizens or domestic reporting companies or their beneficial owners after the forthcoming rule changes take effect either.

The Treasury Department will further be issuing a proposed rulemaking that will narrow the scope of the rule to foreign reporting companies only.
Treasury takes this step in the interest of supporting hard-working American taxpayers and small businesses and ensuring that the rule is appropriately tailored to advance the public interest.

“This is a victory for common sense,”said US Treasury @SecScottBessent
“Today’s action is part of President Trump’s bold agenda to unleash American prosperity by reining in burdensome regulations, in particular for small businesses that are the backbone of the American economy.”

Donald hates the Corporate Transparency Act in the Military spending bill.

Trump’s businesses are full of dirty Russian money why

HIDDEN MONEY

The main story, hiding in plain sight. The scandal is that it’s legal! America is awash of money laundered from dictators and their henchmen. Both the GOP and Dems have turned a blind eye and let it buy up the country.

The Donald doesn’t sign the bill because he want his money tracked.

The push to include AML legislation in the military spending bill was led in large part by Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, D-N.Y., who hailed the decision from lawmakers to add reforms from the Corporate Transparency Act — a bill passed by the House in October 2019 — to the defense bill.

This bill would address the latter issue by requiring applicants seeking to form a corporation or limited liability company to file their beneficial owners with the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) takes on shell companies with its Corporate Transparency Act provision. On December 11, 2020, the National Defense Authorization Act was passed for FY 2021, which includes the Corporate Transparency Act.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) – ranking member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs –  included Brown’s historic comprehensive anti-money laundering and corporate transparency reforms.

House Passes Maloney Bill to Crack Down on Anonymous Shell Companies. Oct 22, 2019 . … Beyond the impacts for law enforcement, this bill will also help to crack down on New York’s real estate being used to park illicit money, driving up housing costs and limiting availability.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2513, The Corporate Transparency Act of 2019, bipartisan legislation introduced by Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Chair of the Subcommittee on Investor Protection, Entrepreneurship, and Capital Markets, and Congressman Peter King (R-NY). It was passed by a vote of 249-173. H.R. 2513 would close significant loopholes.

The proliferation of all-cash buys by shell companies has begun to obliterate that transparency. Trump’s businesses are full of dirty Russian money. The scandal is that it’s legal.

“This bill is also critical for our national security, because it finally allows law enforcement to track the money that terrorist groups use to finance their operations. Disrupting terrorist financing networks should be one of our top priorities, but right now, terrorist groups can easily hide their money using anonymous shell companies. That is completely unacceptable.

The leaking of more than 11 million documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca cast new light on the arcane world of offshore shell companies, long a favorite hiding.

 US real estate owned by anonymous LLCs.

Jared Kushner’s role in creating a Trump campaign shell company that secretly paid the president’s family members and spent $617 million in reelection cash.

Almost 700 million dollars in campaign money was funneled into a shell company, and that it was run by Donald Trump’s daughter in law Lara Trump, and Mike Pence’s nephew John Pence.

The Trump campaign shell company that helped hide $617M in presidential campaign spending was almost exclusively a Trump family production, run in part by a top deputy to Eric Trump.

Trump’s son in law Jared Kushner approved creation of a campaign shell company that secretly paid Trump’s family members & spent almost half of campaign’s $1.26 billion war chest

That’s why #TrumpCrimeFamilyForPrison2021

The Corporate Transparency Act, currently included in the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, offers a bipartisan pathway to modernizing the nation’s anti – money laundering laws and closing the loopholes that allow the dangerous manipulation of our financial system.

US farmland is also being bought up, and an alarming amount of acreage is now foreign-owned. States can and should ban foreign ownership. Our food supply is at risk.

‘American Soil’ Is Increasingly Foreign Owned
There are two counties in this region with the highest concentration of foreign-owned farmland — more than 41,000 acres each. One of those is Paulding County, where three wind farms straddle the Ohio-Indiana line. Higgins says that this kind of consumption of farmland by foreign entities is starting to cause concern.
