Summary
Retired agent Dennis Lormel reviews terrorist financing and money laundering. Shortly before the 9/11 attacks, he was promoted to Chief of the FBI's Financial Crimes Program. After the attacks, he immediately established an investigative organization within the FBI that, within days, identified the funding stream that supported the terrorist attack. His efforts evolved into the formation of a formal section within the Counterterrorism Division of the FBI, known as The Terrorist Financing Operations Section. This multi-agency, multi-disciplined entity attained international recognition as one of the world's elite operations for tracking, investigating, and disrupting terrorist-related financial activity.
