This is a fantastic interview with Gary Kalman, who explains how beneficial ownership reform got done and says the top priority on the US anticorruption agenda is now regulating gatekeepers like lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, private equity, etc. https://soundcloud.com/kickback-gap/48gary-kalman-on-the-corporate-transparency-act-the-corruption-perception-index-score-in-the-usa
Gary's absolutely right: @USTreasury has the authority to regulate many such sectors, and the easiest place to start is to immediately finalize the rule proposed at the end of the Obama admin. to regulate private equity & hedge funds. It's ready to go!

After that, @USTreasury should revoke the regs pictured below that have been around for two decades granting "temporary exemptions" to ten important sectors, from real estate professionals to sellers of yachts and airplanes.
The third and hardest bucket is non-financial gatekeepers like lawyers and accountants who would mount vigorous political and legal resistance. These are important fights that @USTreasury won't have the capacity to win this year, as I wrote about here: https://securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/treasurys-war-on-corruption
In sum, the Biden admin. should regulate gatekeepers in 3 stages:
1. First 100 days: Finalize rule for PE & hedge funds.
2. First year: Revoke 10 exemptions, incl. real estate.
3. First term: Determine lawyers, accountants, formation agents, & art dealers act like financials.
