FinCen is the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a database operated by the U.S. Department of Treasury that tracks otherwise-private financial transactions to help law enforcement counter money laundering and other financial crimes.

"There's a system called FinCen where we're actually able to track money laundering," Finchem said two weeks ago in that “press conference” to which only other far-right podcasters and conspiracy theorists were invited.

"Until we started raising a ruckus in Tennessee, we had access to FinCen — uh, legitimate access through law enforcement channels," he insisted. "But amazingly, we hit somebody and suddenly that access is shut off."

Far-right podcaster Pete Santilli responded, “Yeah, it’s called paydirt. You saw something they didn’t want you to see, right?”

“Right,” Finchem agreed.

"We have the receipts. They uh...go to school in Canada so you can't see them."

"Shortly after searching the incredibly confidential database of financial information our unauthorized access was cut off."

These guys are almost funny, but I hope they go to jail like Tracy Peters.
