Chuck Morley was involved in money laundering investigations long before the passage of the Money Laundering Act in 1986. As an IRS Criminal Investigator in 1969, he was investigating organized crime in Denver Colorado, and later on the Newark New Jersey Organized Crime Strike Force. In the early 1970s, Morley began training Special Agents and designing Special Agent training courses. In the late 1970s, Morley worked with the Treasury Department in their first BSA probe in South Florida: Operation Greenback.

Morley continued his anti-money laundering work from 1980 to 1985 as Chief Investigator of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. In 1985, Morley left the Senate and formed The Morley Group.

Since 1985, The Morley Group has practiced extensively in the field of BSA, anti-money laundering, and conducting complex financial investigations. The Group has been involved in many of the largest money laundering investigations in U.S. history, including the BCCI case, Operation Polar Cap, Operation Casablance, and Operation White Dollar, to name a few. This experience has proven invaluable to our clients, as we have seen first-hand the focus of bank regulators and law enforcement officials in their sanctions against financial institutions. We therefore know where all the weak points are in financial institutions, and how to plug them with effective AML systems.

The Morley Group has gained many years of direct experience in detecting very sophisticated money laundering schemes. This has enabled us to build effective AML systems for our clients that focus on the detection and prevention of these sophisticated schemes. We tailor our BSA/AML/OFAC systems to the specific risks faced by each of our clients. In our experience, boiler plate approaches to AML are not effective.
