"Seven years ago, two twentysomething data scientists spotted a novel phenomenon: synthetic identity fraud. They turned that discovery into fast-growing @SentiLink , a member of the Fintech 50 for 2023."

Fringe benefit of someone named “Vivek” running for President (@VivekGRamaswamy) is that more people may learn how to pronounce “Vivek properly.

Am I the only person who sees this ad and wants to lick the batteries now?

Parents, the bitter coating used on Duracell lithium coin batteries discourages accidental swallowing and, unlike your overbearing mother-in-law, is non-toxic.

@pitdesi focus more on the supply-side. If you can get Indians to host, more would be comfortable using it as customers. I ran into this recently when trying to find an Airbnb for my mom When people see “no curry cooking”, it can feel like “no Indians allowed”

@MikeMcCormick_ The NOLS Leadership Educator Notebook is my favorite reference on small group leadership, and summarizes a lot of important concepts that are tried and true in the outdoors. You can extend a lot of it to leading people in a business context.

$.02: Don’t join a startup to get rich in the first place. Do it because you want to be part of building a company, want more direct responsibility and impact than you would at BigCo, + other reasons. If you’re optimizing for $, better off joining a BigCo or starting your own.

A reality tv show where 1 person wins $1M if they can survive a full year locked inside a Costco. The Costco is fully stocked to begin with, but never restocked. Contestant is completely on their own, and filmed 24/7 like the Truman Show. Building has power, internet, AC/heat.

@cameronpeake Nice find! I think this makes sense for some e-comm.

@VivekIsTweeting Check this out- it’s from 2020 but shows on cyber Monday that year 25%+ of e-commerce txns were fraudulent

This is one of those things that the industry seems to take for granted. Has anyone seen a data set that proves this out? I’d expect in some financial products that the population mix skews *less* risky during the holidays (because more non-fraudsters are shopping)
Cameron Peake@cameronpeake
We're about to see a double whammy around fintech fraud - which always increases in recessionary environments and during the holidays
