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, dark 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?

After a few months as a headhunter I chose to focus purely on infosec due to my love for the community and all things hacker related. I now run a security recruitment, consulting and contracting company - but before all of this began I was a stockbroker. My initial involvement in the financial sector is where my interest in the topic of this talk began and I’ve kept my finger on the pulse of this subject throughout my career. I enjoy dark comedy, bad puns and conversations about hacking. I enjoy them more if absorbed with a few beers and a steak.
