Riggs National Bank
In 2004, Mr. McElroy managed a consulting engagement for Sheshunoff
Management Services at Riggs National Bank in Washington, D.C. Riggs
Bank was operating under a Cease and Desist Order issued by the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency because of alleged violations of
the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering regulations. It was reported
in the press that customers of Riggs Bank were suspected of terrorist
financing, international money laundering, and other criminal activity.
McElroy led a team of consultants that reviewed the bank’s compliance
with Bank Secrecy Act suspicious activity monitoring and reporting
regulations. His findings and recommendations were included in the
bank’s corrective action plans submitted to federal bank regulators.
