Description:

In this eye-opening episode, Cato Institute’s Norbert Michel and Nicholas Anthony explore how the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act has evolved from a tool to catch tax cheats into a sprawling financial surveillance system that erodes Fourth Amendment protections. They discuss the law’s expansion post-9/11 and emerging reform efforts that could restore financial privacy.
