Crypto Compliance, AML & Fraud in Web3 w/ Stephen Sargeant

Published on: 19th July, 2022

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

If you were to create a Venn diagram of the AML/Compliance and fraud prevention industries, there would be some overlap. Although often, the two departments within a company & the 2 industries don't collaborate as much as maybe they should.

In today's episode, Stephen Sargeant, creator of Airdropd, a company focused on bringing together professionals in the crypto compliance industry talks about:

  • His unique career path, why he went from being the Deputy Manager of Compliance Investigations at Bitfinex to creating his own company to share information & connect others in the AML/Compliance world of Web3
  • Some of the massive opportunities created by all that encompasses "Web3", how "fraud is AML in motion", and why more people in fraud prevention should consider cross-training in compliance
  • Tips for how to get started in the Web3 world, whether in fraud or AML if you're interested in moving to the blockchain and crypto space
  • Some great examples (and stories!) of crypto investigations and why regulations may help to prevent fraud that impacts customers & customer trust

About the Podcast

Fraudology Podcast with Karisse Hendrick
Join Fraud Fighter Karisse Hendrick twice a week for deep dive interviews and weekly fraud news.
If you work in online fraud prevention, chances are you've caught the "bug". The bug that makes you passionate about identifying & preventing cybercriminals from getting away with stealing from your company, or your client's companies. Most people who have made cyber-fraud their career have the perfect balance of analytical and social skills, a strong sense of justice and the curiosity that will drive you to go down every path of information until you "crack the case".

Just like sociology is the study of social behavior, and psychology is the study of human behavior, Fraudology is the science and study of fraud.

On the Fraudology podcast, long-time online fraud expert, Karisse Hendrick will dive into all areas of Fraudology from the perspective of a fraud-fighter. With guests ranging from former cybercriminals to fraud-fighters at Fortune 500 companies to law enforcement and others, you will no doubt be entertained, while learning a lot about fraud & other forms of abuse prevention!
