Amit is responsible for developing strategies and establishing policies to combat
a wide range of illicit finance activities including terrorist financing, WMD proliferation
financing and narcotics both domestically and internationally. He focuses his international
work throughout Asia, and specifically with issues surrounding North Korean illicit
activities, including WMD proliferation, regional terrorist financing and other
criminal activities. Amit's portfolio also includes looking at how the informal
and formal financial sectors are not only vulnerable to illicit financial activities
but also can be utilized to actively combat such activity. In this area, he also
investigates issues relating to terrorist financing through charities and non-profit

Thank you.
Sincerely,
