FinCEN Issues Notice on Financially Motivated Sextortion

Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is issuing a Notice to help financial institutions detect and disrupt financially motivated sextortion, a disturbing and increasingly common typology that can devastate the lives and families of its victims. Financially motivated sextortion occurs when perpetrators, using fake personas, coerce victims to create and send sexually explicit images or videos of themselves, only to threaten to release the material to the victims' friends and family unless the victims provide payment.
