Many years ago I did some work at a large race track and they were very concerned about money laundering. They worked closely with the local authorities to recognize any potential issues. I guess it all depends on the companies leaders as to what they want to risk.

There are many opportunities to be complicit. Illegal exports, selling customer information, aiding money laundering, ... It seems wrong that petty criminals server harsher penalties than corporate leaders (or politicians) even though the corporate leaders commit worse crimes.

That's my experience as well. I've never worked in banking, but I've worked with igaming companies before, and some are basically ignoring regulation and will just stop something if a regulator catches them while others are 100% by the book.

I've once asked the COO of a fully compliant company why they're competing with their hands tied behind their back and his reply was simply "because I don't want to go to jail". I'm guessing the folks at other companies had a different risk-reward analysis.
