ACAMS Talk - Operation Shamrock: Where Romance Scams Run out of Luck
Big ideas, shorter sessions, smaller audiences. That’s an ACAMS Talk. Come for stimulating intellectual exploration; leave with plenty to think and talk about.
“Pig butchering” seems an unlikely term for a contemporary twist on the age-old romance scam. But the trail of destruction involved as victims are “fattened up” before their financial slaughter is stomach-churning: Unwilling perpetrators trafficked; millions of dollars stolen; financial futures ruined; and at least one life lost to suicide. Crypto is crucial to these schemes. And as an attendee at The Assembly Fintech & Crypto, you’re part of a crucial constituency in fighting them. Hear from our panelists about how you can join Operation Shamrock in the global effort against this form of crypto-based fraud.
