The potential #criminal or perpetrator of protruding any suspicious action or decision based on heinous or harmful activity can be deterred by forcing them to weigh the consequences of mens rea & actus reus against the weight of punishments based on odds.
#bankers #roguetraders
Bad bankers are akin to criminals in any other walk of life.
We must broaden the domains of criminology and sociology, including psychology, to understand rogue and kleptomaniac behaviour among money managers in both the public and private sectors.
#Fincrime is ubiquitous
The most potent cocktail of crime is when Financial crimes aka #Fincrimes and Social Engineering taxonomy comes together, such as #Cybercrimes, to threaten legacy Management Information, Technology, Computer Engineering, Networking, and Private Data Systems Securities.
#Hazards
Not much attention is paid to the changing electronic nature of insider trading, among other financial market crimes, being committed to grease wallets.
#Cybercriminals pose a threat to well-functioning capital markets, like any other miscreant might do so.

Stock Market Cybercrime by ALEXANDRE NEYRET
I believe SEC and other anti-graft/anti-fraud regulatory authorities should incentivize and penalize certain economic behaviours.
The presence of rogue mental attitudes among capital market investors, bankers, and other money managers pose a systemic risk to global finance.
A proper WPP - Witness Protection Program for the #Whistleblowers must exist in law.
In most cases, whistleblowers are either threatened with outright sacking or endure other psychological and financial harassment which goes untold
Mundane BAC Board Audit Committees are impotent
To fight financial crimes and social engineering machinations such as Cybercrime prevalence across the virtual and physical world domains, banking laws, company laws, financial market laws, and corporate governance regulations coupled with cybercrime laws must come together.
Cyber Laws made to deter #TortFeasers, potential wrongdoers and proven hardened criminals need interpretive reforms across investigative jurisdictions.
In the Digital space, the technological lexicon must be incorporated within the ambit of cyber #torts.
Cyber Courts are needed!
Of course, legal distinctions must not be ignored when fighting either social engineering crimes or financial white-collar corporate crimes.
A. Tort and Criminal Law domains are distinct.
B. Digital space and Cyberspace domains are slightly distinct.
C. Virtual & Cyber Realities

What kind of books, and academic manuscripts and other published texts should we add to a risk manager's library ecosystem?
Information is not just what Is stored inside IoT Devices, software programs, etc.
There should be a reading room in which one can enter & meditate?
Call me old-fashioned, but I still need to take printouts of didactic reference materials and other educational documents to read before I begin to understand.
Just browsing on the web and downloading is not good enough for me.
Touching and turning the texts fortifies my memory.
For e.g. nowadays, @FT, @business @TheEconomist and many other economic publications and news media groups have moved into the digital subscription space, thereby relying less on printed circulation.
I still enjoy picking up the physical newspaper or the magazine to read.

I am listening to #Starky, the #historian, who is trying his level best to defend slavery and #English #Buccaneer #William #Beckford.
William owned some 40,000 acres of #sugar plantation growing land and had thousands of enslaved #workers working on his property in #Jamaica.
No wonder the bad memories survived.
During the 1970s Manley introduced Democratic Socialism in Jamaica which was a reactionary political movement against the injustices committed by the colonialists against the Jamaican People.
Economic historians confuse that with capitalism.
Free Enterprise & Free Market Economy, with Free movement of factors of production across markets, the freedom of choice exercised in terms of either consumption or occupation, and other matters pertinent to production, prices, and distribution are value-fact dichotomy hypotheses

The LTCM Crisis taught #Quants one thing in common.
Never trust the risk pricing/hedging models blindly.
The Black Scholes option model assumptions and the Value at Risk Metric both failed miserably.
The liquidity assumptions of the #VaR Model provided a false sense of security.
The most worrying thing is that if #LTCM which was a hedge fund managed by two @NobelPrize winners in Economics could not get things right, then what should one expect from humble risk practitioners like myself!?
imagine the amount of risk that is concealed by Black Box Models.
Always backtest and stress test your #risk models.
Not just the mathematical components, but also the semantics, the #hermeneutics, the syntax that is used for coding the automata, and the symbols which are shown on the analytical dashboard.
It is a big #CON industry at work!

Faster economic growth does not make the economy stable and strong.
Whereas, only focussing on the quantity of growth does not imply the quality derived is equally beneficial for the masses
Nordic nations have much smaller economies with slower growth rates compared to India, etc
A prime example of this argument is the Chilean Economy before the military coup d'état of September, 11th of 1973.
The aggregate demand expanded rapidly, and the economy boomed for a year or so under Allende.
Later runaway rate of inflation took all the benefits away.
#shocks
This QE Quantitative Easing we have seen since the GFC has now devastated the Western World.
Inflation rates are at an all-time high since the 1970s.
Reflationery Economics has not helped the West to understand that expectations affect monetary policy more than the central bank

I am for education leading to human capital development, knowledge capital formation, talent management, and skill development, etc.
My views have adjusted slightly.
Most of the countries which have found themselves to be in trouble did include those with high literacy rates.
Look at the Former GDR, now defunct Yugoslavia, USSR, and Somalia.
Other Warsaw Pact Nations provided compulsory education.
Shah's Iran was well educated.
Those states &/or regimes don't exist anymore.
Srilanka which had recently defaulted has an above 90% literacy rate.
Turkey?
Education and investment in human capital are very important, provided the state uses its subjects as means to attain ends.
Unfortunately, only investing in tinpot academic ventures with large educational budgets dolling out overseas scholarships is unproductive & rubbish.

The #Wirecard Scandal once again highlighted the incompetence of external #auditing firms.
That is why firms must invest in setting up proactive Corporate Governance, Risk Management and Compliance desks.
These are very important silos in a company, which must work together.
The best and most sought-after professionals should be working in these areas, especially after the #ENRON and Arthur Anderson Fiasco led to the naming and shaming of the audit and financial reporting professions.
Directors appointed to committees should also be well trained to understand the nature of top financial and operational risks, which can cause potential material hazards and affect the bottom line.
