He became involved in crime at a young age following an unstable and traumatic childhood, and by his mid-teens was running increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes. Over six years, he stole an estimated £10-30 million from banks and businesses before being arrested whilst on the run. After his release, he moved into fraud prevention, and now uses his experience to advise governments, law enforcement and major organisations on how to combat financial crime.https://www.youtube.com/@zaranicolemcdermott
