Council Member Ossé proposes creating an online portal where people can submit potentially fraudulent documents for review by the Department of Finance. This would streamline the reporting process and help identify trends in predatory behavior.

  • The portal would allow users to upload PDFs or scans of suspicious documents
  • Department of Finance lawyers or enforcement staff would review the submitted documents
  • The system could help identify trends and trace shell companies engaged in illicit behavior
  • The information gathered could be reported to the state or attorney general for enforcement action
  • Council Member Ossé emphasizes that this would provide a consistent way for people to report issues they encounter daily
