RICHMOND, VA — May 1, 2006 — Cavalier Telephone, an integrated provider of telecommunications and data, including local and long distance telephone services and DSL high speed internet for businesses, government and residential customers, has announced the award of a contract from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the United States Department of the Treasury.
Under this 10 year contract agreement, Cavalier Telephone will provide the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network with mission- oriented local voice and data network services to support their efforts safeguarding the United States’ financial system from the abuses of financial crime, including terrorist financing, money laundering and other illicit activities.
As reflected in its name, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is a network of people and information brought together to fight the complex problem of money laundering. Since its creation in 1990, FinCEN has worked to maximize information sharing among law enforcement agencies and its other partners in the regulatory and financial communities. FinCEN’s network approach is a cost-effective and efficient way to combat money laundering domestically and internationally.
