TikTok and its parent company ByteDance are currently embroiled in a series of regulatory problems, extending beyond national security concerns to include financial regulatory inquiries focused on money laundering concerns. These issues started in Turkey and extended to Ireland. In early 2023, a significant development was revealed by @MichaelRoddan: ByteDance misled the Central Bank of Ireland after HSBC shut down the company's bank accounts following a money laundering probe. In response, ByteDance developed its payments technology with the assistance of JPMorgan to circumvent large fees. However, HSBC discovered deficiencies in ByteDance's money laundering controls, which the company then misrepresented to Irish regulators.
