This talk starts with the beginnings of my own career in a dicey investment brokerage and discusses some old school boiler room practices before moving on to insider trading, cryptocurrencies, darknet forums and markets and the growing prevalence of hackers in the murky world of investment fraud. I’ll be covering: - The scammers I worked for, what they sold and how they fooled us all - Insider trading and false rumour spreading - Amaranth, Galleon Group and Jonathan LeBed - Cryptocurrency and online trading - Fin4, The Macau 3 and The Wall Street/Kiev coalition - The darknet exchanges for inside information - Employee Bribery and shopping lists of secrets - What the hell are we supposed to do now?
