Bennet is to fraud what Sting is to fields of gold, and he also happens to be the SVP of Operations and Client Development at Signifyd, and he stopped by to chat with us about Signifyd's latest 2021 State of Fraud Report. 

It is a rare breed of gentleman who can pull off only going by one name and still command our attention for a full length podcast with tales of fraud too crazy to believe, and which you too can hear by clicking below or on the main feature image above.

Sadly, it also happens to be just another stark reminder that Amazon leads, while everyone else just seems to follow along 3 to 4 years later.
