In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick delves into the pivotal shifts in liability rules for ApplePay on Card-Not-Present transactions, and on the Zelle network.

Furthermore, Karisse takes a critical look at the fallout from Binance's regulatory violations; exploring the heavy $4 billion penalty levied against the cryptocurrency exchange for its failure to implement necessary Know Your Customer (KYC) checks and to report suspicious activities. Karisse discusses how Binance's actions facilitated illegal activity including terrorism, ransomware, and child exploitation materials.
