Scurry (Fraud Squad) [Large Print]

By Eric N Kinney

Silicon Valley's "996 BRO" fintech culture thrives on inexperience, aggressive growth targets, and corner-cutting-priorities that venture capitalists reward and FinCEN abhors. But as global AI-powered organized crime syndicates infiltrate San Francisco fintechs, the consequences of this reckless approach become deadly serious.

Eric, a former Navy SEAL, long-distance runner, marathon swimmer, and BSA officer, leads compliance at Scurry, a promising Silicon Valley fintech company navigating a crucial venture capital raise. Unlike the typical 996 "bro" operations, Scurry is building something different-but it's not immune to the threats circling the industry. Eric has assembled an experienced fraud prevention team tasked with an impossible balance: enabling smart growth while maintaining robust financial controls to combat money laundering and financial crimes.

Halfway across the world, Akinde-a former Golden Eagle, long-distance runner, and director with the Nigerian Nuclear Commission-commands a sophisticated global financial crimes syndicate. His fraud factories in Cross River, Moscow, Caracas, Madrid, and Shanghai have recently upgraded to AI agents, dramatically scaling their capacity for scams, account takeovers, and money laundering. Through threats and strategic bribes, Akinde has already compromised several San Francisco fintechs. Now, he's set his sights on Eric.

Scurry (Fraud Squad) is the first installment in a four-book series-a high-stakes Silicon Valley fintech thriller exploring the active warfare between sophisticated fraud rings and the U.S. banking system. Blending financial crimes investigation, money laundering schemes, AI-enabled fraud, insider threats, Marine special operations, endurance athletics, and an unexpected romance, the novel offers an insider's view of startup culture and BSA inter-company coordination. Those who have worked in the industry will recognize echoes of real events, with more stories reserved for the next three books. Names of executives and companies have been changed.
