About this listen

What happens when global systems are misused at massive scale?

In Part 2 of the two-part Season 2 finale of THEOS Cybernova, host Paul Jackson continues his conversation with investigative journalist Tom Wright, co-author of The Billion Dollar Whale.

This episode looks at how financial and digital systems are exploited to enable modern corruption. Wright explains how crypto crime has changed the mechanics of fraud, allowing Southeast Asia scams to scale through weak controls and fragile on- and off-ramps.

The conversation also covers Havana Syndrome, the challenge of reporting on investigations that are still unfolding, and the pressure that comes with scrutinizing powerful people and institutions.

A strong close to Season 2—and a reminder that many of today’s cyber risks are rooted in systems that outpace accountability.
