Jul 15, 202624 min
Send us Fan Mail What is it really like to be an MLRO? In this episode of The AML Clinic Podcast , Michelle Clement sits down with an experienced MLRO for an honest conversation about the realities behind one of the most demanding roles in AML compliance. Together, they explore the judgement calls, competing pressures and accountability that come with the role, and why much of that responsibility often goes unseen. Whether you're an MLRO, compliance professional, partner or member of a risk team, this episode offers a candid insight into the human side of AML compliance and the factors that support sound, defensible decision-making. This episode also marks the conclusion of the first season of The AML Clinic Podcast . Thank you for listening, and we'll be back in the autumn with more conversations on AML, regulation and the practical realities of compliance.
Michelle Clement is joined by Suzie Ogilvie to discuss how firms can recognise and manage sanctions risk in practice, apply the "reasonable cause to suspect" threshold, and make defensible decisions that stand up to regulatory scrutiny.
Episode 19 - When Legitimate Looks Low Risk: Sovereign Wealth Funds, AML Judgement & Regulatory Scrutiny
Jun 18, 202620 min
Sovereign wealth funds and state-linked structures are often perceived as low risk because they carry an assumption of legitimacy. But how should firms assess these relationships in practice? In this episode, Michelle Clement is joined by Colin Solomon to explore the lessons arising from the Jersey v LGL Trustees Ltd re Angola case, and what it reveals about risk classification, onboarding assumptions, professional judgement, and regulatory scrutiny. Together, they discuss how perceptions of legitimacy can influence decision-making, what regulators look for when reviewing files in hindsight, and how firms can ensure their risk assessments and rationale stand up to scrutiny. Colin has also prepared a summary of the case and regulatory findings. If you would like a copy, you can connect with him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colin-solomon-07102613/ .

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
