Weak AML practices nearly got it booted from Japan. Bolstering compliance staff led to management bloat. Armine must find balance between policies and profit, also must work closely with legal and regulators, who stepped up scrutiny of risk after more than $40 billion in write-offs. Marisa Lago, who led compliance i-bank and alternative investments, left “to pursue other interests.”
