Alumni Talk with BC Krishna SM 94

BC Krishna SM 94, President and CEO, MineralTree, Inc.

Jan/15 Tue 07:00PM-08:00PM 32-141

Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required

Financial Fraud

BC will share his experiences as the founder and CEO of fraud detection software company Memento. The fast-paced session will cover a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to: 

  1. Bank fraud that you have never heard about: insidious, expensive, and, never talked about.
  2. Why fraud persists, and why it is so hard to address.
  3. It’s not about the technology and algorithms, but all the real-world crap.

At Memento, BC also spent time looking into the world of Health Care fraud, and another nasty, insidious problem that does not get enough attention: Prescription Fraud. This is the systematic, significant, expensive abuse of prescription drugs like Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Fentanyl, and Suboxone. Time permitting, he will share some of his findings addressing Prescription Fraud.

The session will use case studies and examples. Attendees should expect to walk away angry, foaming at the mouth, and hopefully inspired to study the topic more and do something about it.
