Other People’s Money – The Rise of Fraud in the Crypto & NFT Worlds With Erwin Shustak, Managing Partner of Shustak Reynolds & Partners with Host Richard Levick of LEVICK

Erwin Shustak, founder and Managing Partner of Shustak Reynolds & Partners, who for more than 30 years served as an arbitrator for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) joins host Richard Levick of LEVICK to discuss the rise of fraud in new investment vehicles such as crypto currencies and NFTs.

Fool me once? Fool me again.
