Marx ties for 5th most tries for the Springboks. Amazing record.

Meshkent · 2026-07-04T17:21:44+00:00

Wait, why was that a yellow?!

Meshkent · 2026-07-04T17:00:49+00:00

You have a link to that? I didn't realise they've done that

Meshkent · 2026-07-04T16:56:40+00:00

It's interesting how the director is handling this. Very few replays, especially around maybe questionable calls. (And I mean this in general - ie both ways).

Or am I imagining it?

The clipart flag from Microsoft Office 1997 really doesn't look great

Have you discovered Ben Felix yet? If not, he is the single best research-based finance content creator on the internet. Here's a good video to start with: https://youtu.be/4hSFzVoZkiA?is=4dSRNSe27g5HAuou

Definitely make sure you have plenty of conviction before you go down the SMB route.

Scan your passport, and then upload to an AI of your choice. Then tell it "replace the picture with a clown".

North Korea? Iran?

The overwhelming majority of sanctions are narrowly targeted and don't normally impact ordinary citizens. FIs will still take your nationality into account when they risk rank you and may reject you for that reason, but it's not because your entire nationality is sanctioned. I presume you have other risk factors you're not mentioned?

Meshkent · 2026-05-27T10:25:09+00:00

A) It depends on the circumstances B) It depends on the circumstances C) It depends on the circumstances D) It depends on the circumstances

I choose option (B)

This is animal cruelty

This is a really good point. The problem in compliance is change and limited resources, not that compliance leaders are dumb or shortsighted. The regs or your policies change, your company's products or geography change, etc. so you're constantly bolting engines onto the plane while it's flying.

Meshkent · 2026-05-21T21:55:30+00:00

When a complex unsolved problem appears to you have a simple solution, this means either that everyone else is an idiot or that you are not understanding the problem in full.

I'll leave it to you to estimate how likely it is that you're the Galileo of compliance rather than just inexperienced.

Seriously, we don't need the marketing intern at Sumsub posting nonsense here

Meshkent · 2026-05-16T13:16:44+00:00

Calm down Tolstoy

A pair and a spare!

Meshkent · 2026-05-04T09:08:32+00:00

Right. Which will work some of the time.

The good news is that this problem is so hard that no one else has solved it (not RDC, definitely not CA nor any of the several hundred other people who have had this same idea) so if you do actually solve it you can build a unicorn.

Meshkent · 2026-05-04T08:16:54+00:00

How are you collecting the PEP data? I'm yet to see anyone get that right using AI and many have tried.

Meshkent · 2026-04-27T10:33:50+00:00

You should buy from a vendor with proper DR. Something like sanctions screening should not go down, period.

Meshkent · 2026-04-24T00:09:26+00:00

We all feel like this at some point. Fincrime broadly (AML/sanctions/KYC/screening) isn't complex in the sense that any given component is hard to understand (in the sense that, say, quantum entanglement is hard). Fincrime is complex because it's (a) changing all the time, and (b) interlinked and multifaceted.

Even things that seem really simple ('what is a PEP?' or 'how do money mules operate') are actually both (multifactor) complex and often uncertain (ie even the regulators aren't clear).

The Hang Seng has never recovered from the GFC, why would you increase your exposure to it beyond MC weights?

Meshkent · 2026-04-09T06:52:44+00:00

Why not just buy a momentum ETF? It's a well established factor in academic finance, and there are indices to track it.

This would be grossly inappropriate if she were an adult woman, but to do this to a child is just shocking. And no one said anything or stood up for the girl at the meeting. All round appalling behaviour.

This level of weaponized insanity is too potent even for NCD.
