AdvertisementTim Paradis: We've seen new C-suite roles emerge in recent years, like chief AI officer and chief ethics officer. Then, while there is a "chief AI officer" role that's picking up, there is also a lot of focus on automation. Pittman: I think that a lot of these roles — whether it's chief diversity officer, chief risk officer, chief digital officer — are really about building new competencies that are not widely spread.

Money launderers are increasingly using cryptocurrencies to conceal the origins and movement of illegally-obtained funds, according to a report by Chainalysis. In 2024, money laundering in crypto encompasses all crime — not just that which is inherently tied to the crypto ecosystem," the blockchain analytics firm said in a July report. Money launderers use various methods such as crypto mixers, cross-chain bridges and "hops" between wallets to conceal the flow of funds. Crypto mixers, or tumblers, involve mixing crypto from various sources to make the detection of their origin and ownership difficult. Bad actors also leverage on crypto bridges to hide the origins of funds by moving them between different blockchain networks.
