Trump Taj Mahal Fined Record $10 Million for Inadequate AML Program

As disclosed recently in a bankruptcy court filing, on January 27, 2015, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network imposed a $10 million civil money penalty pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act on Trump Taj Mahal Associates LLC. Trump Taj Mahal consented to the imposition of the penalty and admitted that its conduct violated the BSA. This $10 million penalty, reported to be the largest BSA penalty ever imposed upon a casino, highlights the government’s ongoing focus on the gaming industry.
