Talk:Financial Crimes Enforcement Network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This doesn't make sense. Wikisource shows that section 361 of the USA PATRIOT Act formed FinCEN in law. How can this be if they were around since the 1990s? - Ta bu shi da yu 14:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

as you can see below they seemed to be moving sections of code around. I haven't done an actual diff, but the part you referenced has the establishment of FinCEN dated to April 25, 1990. I cut this straight from the link you provided.
