Dear FinCEN:
xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC thanks you for sending yesterday's advisory on
kleptocracy and foreign public corruption. We have made 30 highlights to
the FIN-2022-A001
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yF3qDQG19J-qN1vUPC36lQfVClq3HPXB/view?usp=sharing>
advisory for reference.
*The aim of today's memo is to learn FinCEN's insights into MIA Coin and
the consensus algorithm Proof of Transfer (POX). xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC is
concerned about potential MIA Coin and City Coin kleptocracy that may be
affecting our global enterprise. *
*FinCEN may note that NYCCoin is illegal in New York State, given the
BitLicense mandate. As such, we are not concerned with NYCCoin's legality
given the clear BitLicense mandate.  *

MIA Coin is powered by POX
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wL2kN6aMfsyT-T7g01YJSBB8meMn2SWg/view?usp=sharing>,
a computer protocol that may exploit the U.S. and international financial
systems to launder illicit gains, including through the use of shell
companies, offshore financial centers, and professional service providers
who enable the movement and laundering.
MIA Coin' POX protocol is a wealth extraction tool that unfairly rewards
an inside group of miners, rewarding patronage networks that benefit his
inner circle and regime. These practices harm the competitive landscape of
financial markets and often have long-term corrosive effects on good
governance, democratic institutions, and human rights standards.
FinCEN, we are concerned Miami's City Coin
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IrQwP46alrnQXRxIoXxm8kifZMVTRB_x/view>
resolution potentially confirms Miami leaders as kleptocrats, using their
position and influence to enrich themselves and their networks of corrupt
actors.
Finally, we understand that MIA Coin and POX  operations are powered by
international data warehouses, located in Iceland, Germany and Hong Kong.
For these reasons, given FinCEN's alert on kleptocracy and foreign public
corruption we kindly seek guidance.
Sending you the very best regards.
Thank you,
Gunnar Larson

*FinCEN Issues Advisory on Kleptocracy and Foreign Public Corruption*
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today issued an
advisory on kleptocracy and foreign public corruption, urging financial
institutions to focus their efforts on detecting the proceeds of foreign
public corruption — a priority for the U.S. Government as it continues to
implement the U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption
<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjA0MTQuNTY0NDAwNjEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53aGl0ZWhvdXNlLmdvdi93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMS8xMi9Vbml0ZWQtU3RhdGVzLVN0cmF0ZWd5LW9uLUNvdW50ZXJpbmctQ29ycnVwdGlvbi5wZGYifQ.m6zN7VUm2CiaCIMJb1dN1z5qFwhmG_1DkZp18I1e6i8/s/1689017697/br/129843754194-l>.
The advisory provides typologies and potential indicators of kleptocracy
and other forms of foreign public corruption, namely bribery, embezzlement,
extortion, and the misappropriation of public assets.
