Episode 8: Why do fraudsters get away?

In this episode, Matthew speaks passionately about challenges in combating financial crime, emphasizing a lack of education and priority, especially in law enforcement. With white-collar crime often overlooked despite its pervasive role in various offenses, the struggle lies in bringing these cases to prosecution. The complexities involved, coupled with limited resources and a focus on more "hot button" issues, contribute to a challenging landscape where fraudsters exploit the system's gaps, as illustrated by a Cash App study revealing multiple active accounts for every detected fraudster. The episode underscores the uphill battle in educating, funding, and prosecuting financial crimes, making it a formidable and complex endeavor.
