INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU INVEST
Empower your audience to spot red flags, protect wealth, and invest with confidence.
James Brandolino committed investment fraud for eight years without ever being caught. Now he exposes how fraudsters manipulate trust, falsify documents, and evade detection—empowering your audience to safeguard their assets.
"I reveal the tactics fraudsters use—so your audience can spot them before investing."
Even the savviest investors can be blindsided by financial predators, losing assets they thought were safe.
James demonstrates why investors often overlook critical warning signs when conducting due diligence. Using falsified financial statements, forged documents, and social engineering tactics from his own Ponzi scheme, he shows where investors focus—and where they should be looking instead. Audiences learn to shift from surface-level checks to the specific red flags that predict fraud.
Your attendees will leave with actionable strategies to protect their wealth and ensure they never become the next victim.

"James has spoken at ACFE events and has willingly shared his story of perpetrating fraud on his investment clients. His story is very compelling and highlights the need for investors, regulators, enforcement officials, and anti-fraud professionals to always maintain professional skepticism and check and double-check everything."
John Gill, JD, CFE
President, Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE)
