As a seasoned Hedge Fund CCO/COO/CEO, I spent my career meticulously creating, evaluating, and identifying flaws in systems, processes, and software. My unique perspective comes from hands-on experience in circumventing numerous trading, risk, margin, operations, and compliance processes at Prime Brokers, Banks, Broker Dealers, AML/KYC processes, soft-dollars and Investor Reporting. This journey allowed me to master both the construction and exploitation of financial systems.

Here’s the reality: Despite the sophistication of modern financial systems, vulnerabilities remain. Shockingly, no "official authority" has ever delved into understanding how we kept our operations under the radar for so long, nor have they sought to learn how to prevent future occurrences.

Your Opportunity: Learn from someone who has been on both sides of the table. With over 20 years of in-depth experience and an unparalleled track record, I am uniquely positioned to share real-world insights and actionable strategies to help you safeguard your organization against fraud.

Artificial Intelligence has empowered bad actors and criminals worldwide to effortlessly impersonate employees, family members, and executives. By utilizing cloned voices and real-time video deepfakes, these criminals can commit fraud by mimicking the appearance and sound of trusted individuals. This has resulted in millions of dollars in losses, including a significant incident where a major engineering firm lost $25 million in a single attack. As AI models and techniques evolve, the potential damages escalate, making it crucial to understand this threat and implement protective measures to defend against it.  I have teamed up with a company at the forefront of battling AI Deepfake fraud and will  show you the best way to prevent what you are going to encounter sooner rather than later in a cost effective way.
