The offer of a lifetime, for a fee

    Research output: Contribution to conferenceOther

    Abstract

    You've had the texts, the emails, the cold calls claiming you've won untold treasures - just pay a small fee and it's all yours. Now, hear the origins of one of the most devastating forms of crime we still face today. How people, businesses, and governments were duped out of millions of dollars all on the promise that billions more lay hidden in a vault in the Swiss Alps.

    This is a talk about corruption, cashier's cheques, and far too many Cuban cigars. This is a talk about all reasoning and logic falling away when you're presented with the offer of a lifetime - and all for just a small fee.
