About FinancialCrime.org

FinancialCrime.org is an independent publication covering financial crime, fraud, and cybercrime. It publishes industry news, analysis, and — when something warrants a closer look — original investigations.

The site has been online for over 15 years in various formats. Some of its past investigations have led major corporations to change their practices, though many of those cases concluded under non-disclosure agreements.

Who’s Behind It

The site is run by Marin, who is semi-retired after a 35-year career that has spanned cybersecurity, deep tech, and financial crime. The financial crime work — leading investigations, serving as a partner at a Big Four firm, building financial crime consulting practices at two of the largest global consulting firms at the Asia-Pacific level, and running a dedicated financial crimes consultancy as managing director — was a significant but concentrated chapter within a career that has been primarily focused on cybersecurity and deep tech.

He holds a broad set of relevant industry qualifications, spanning fraud examination, financial crime investigation, anti-money laundering, legal investigations, digital forensics, and cryptocurrency tracing. He also founded one of the larger tool-independent crypto and OSINT investigations firms, where he remains a shareholder and occasional contributor.

Marin’s primary professional focus today is elsewhere. FinancialCrime.org is a personal project: part professional interest, part an attempt to put hard-won experience to use for the public good.

When a case calls for it, he draws on a network of financial crime investigators, forensic accountants, blockchain analysts, and lawyers built over decades in the field.

If you’ve spotted a pattern of misconduct by a large corporation or financial institution that affects many people, we’d like to hear about it.
