We\u2019ll examine both common and lesser-known financial exploits, drawing on revelations from journalists, activists, and investigators over the last few decades.",
  "description": "Can there be beauty in abstraction? And are dividend stripping or VAT fraud diagrams really as dull as they seem? But most importantly: Is defrauding the public of 64 billion euros considered science, engineering, or art? And what does this have to do with you\u2014and why should you care?\r\n\r\nUsing real-world case studies, we\u2019ll explore how corporations and individuals defraud populations and how these schemes\u2014though sometimes confusing or complex on the surface\u2014rely on surprisingly simple, chained tactics, much like exploits in information systems. We\u2019ll break down the roles of various actors, service providers, fraudsters, and corrupt officials, as well as their playbooks, exploring how these crimes work or how they break and fail.",
