Hawaiian Gardens Casino has become the third California card club to be hit with a seven-figure fine for anti-money laundering (AML) violations.

On Friday, the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced that it had reached a $2.8m settlement with the Hawaiian Gardens’ owners for violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).

FinCEN says the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examined The Gardens for compliance with the BSA in 2011 and again in 2014. The IRS said “many” violations it uncovered in 2011 were still unaddressed in 2014. The Gardens’ independent consultant had identified the same type of problems in 2013.

FinCEN said The Gardens had failed to (a) implement and maintain an effective AML program, (b) report large cash transactions, (c) file many suspicious activity reports (SAR), and (d) keep certain required records.
