Yet another California card room has been fined millions of dollars for shoddy anti-money laundering practices.

On Friday, the US Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced it had imposed an $8m civil penalty on the operators of Artichoke Joe’s Casino (AJC) in San Bruno, one of the state’s oldest and largest gaming venues.

FinCEN acting director Jamal El-Hindi said that “for years, Artichoke Joe’s turned a blind eye to loan sharking, suspicious transfers of high-value gaming chips, and flagrant criminal activity that occurred in plain sight.”

El-Hindi said the size of the penalty was determined by the duration and severity of the violations, AJC’s awareness of the activity, the size of the venue, and AJC’s “deficient culture of compliance.”
