Presented at CactusCon 11 (2023), Jan. 28, 2023, 5 p.m. (60 minutes).

In this presentation you will learn about the true scale of BEC. Is it just a phishing email? What does voodoo, human trafficking victims, and romance scams have in common? How does the private sector track a crime with victims in 177 countries in the world, and has money laundered to 140 of them? And what does government (SBA, PPP, FEMA) fraud have to do with international criminal syndicates?
