Join Troutman Pepper Locke White Collar and Litigation Partner Cal Stein for a special podcast series, discussing the legal landscape surrounding the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). While often associated with organized crime or gang activity, RICO's reach actually covers much more than what many think of as traditional 'racketeering.' Criminal prosecutors and civil litigants commonly use RICO to bring cases against individuals and organizations engaging in more conventional business activity, often by claiming various types of fraud that violate broad federal statutes encompassing a myriad of conduct far more likely to be alleged against a businessperson than a mafia crime boss (e.g., mail fraud, wire fraud, computer fraud, bank fraud, among others). During this series, Cal discusses the history and various elements of RICO, including examining its predicate acts, interviewing RICO newsmakers, and analyzing RICO cases with other RICO practitioners. more

Welcome to the Financial Crime UK Weekly podcast. I'm Chris Kirkbride and I lecture law. This is an introductory podcast to give you a guide as to the sort of things which we will be looking at on this podcast in the first week of every month. However, there will be specials and additional podcasts out of this sequence if something happens which is significant and deserves a special episode. So, what are the sort of things we'll be talking about? Well, we will cover news, events, legal developments, and anything else that relates to financial crime, in the UK obviously, because that is in the podcast title but also in other jurisdictions. No man is an island and financial crime certainly does not respect national borders. Broadly, the coverage will be all aspects of: Fraud | Bribery | Market abuse and insider dealing | Money laundering and terrorist financing | Data and information theft | Cybercrime (phishing / smishing) and the challenges generated by fintech in terms of finance crime threats. While these might be financial crimes, strictly speaking, but that is not all. It is necessary to reflect on the responses to financial crime which the state adopts. While this is less about fines and imprisonment, we will focus on confiscation and recovery schemes, sanctions imposed on those who have committed financial crimes, together with arrangements designed to allow the offender to avoid/defer prosecution, namely, deferred prosecution agreements. Consideration will also be given to the regulatory architecture of financial crime, both domestic and international as stated, financial crime does not respect borders together with regulatory enforcement and aspects of the compliance industry the industry which helps commercial entities stay on the right side of the law. Finally, and this is a particular interest of mine, but I am fascinated by the interface between criminal and civil law where the facts of an event could lead to prosecution or civil action. Consequently, while this is a financial crime podcast, we will also consider those situations where the civil law might bring about a robust response to financial wrongdoing. So, that's it from me for now except to say that the podcast is available from the usual places, Google Podcasts, Spotify, iTunes, and others. more

Creating a Con is a true crime podcast that goes inside the minds of the most prolific modern-day con artist. Their schemes may be new, but their tactics are tried and true.  In Season One, you'll meet Ray Trapani a 26-year-old whose schemes targeted pharmacies, exotic cars and payment apps, all stepping stones to his biggest con yet.  In 2017, Trapani and his co-founders created a tech startup that found immediate success. It was endorsed by DJ Khaled and Floyd Mayweather and raised tens of millions of dollars overnight. It was set to disrupt the financial industry and Ray was about to change the world, until he didn't... because Trapani and his business were 100% fraudulent. When the dust settled, it would leave Trapani and his partners fighting for their freedom. Creating a Con takes you inside the mind of Trapani as he shares first hand of how he put together one of the largest financial frauds in modern history. Inspired by films and shows like Goodfellas, The Sopranos and The Wolf on Wall Street, Trapani lived in the fast lane on Miami's South Beach. He drank, partied and used his way straight to success, leaving a wake of destruction in his path. And that success culminated in the founding of Centra Tech, a start-up that was built on empty promises, fake executives, and millions of dollars from unsuspecting investors. Ray was on the top of the world until it all came crashing down. This podcast reveals the rise and fall of one of the greatest con artists in our lifetime. more
