E108: What we can learn from 150 years of financial crime

As we kick off a new year, the industry is turning its focus to 2025, considering everything from evolving regulations and global sanctions to emerging financial crime threats.

To launch our new season, we’re taking you on a whirlwind journey through 150 years of financial crime—spanning from the Wild West to the modern age of faceless, digital threats.

They say, if you don't know where you've come from, you can't know where you're going.

Join our expert host, Fredrik Riiser, as he uncovers the lessons we can learn from 150 years of financial crime.

In this episode, we’ll explore: the Wild West approach, Al Capone’s infamous tax evasion, insider trading in the 1980s, the rise of deepfake CFOs, and what the future might hold.
