Off the Rails from the U.S. Faster Payments Council - FPC · 23 April 2026 Erin West of Operation Shamrock on Payments Scams · 23 Apr 2026 podcast

you in the financial institution, you in payments and money movement, you've had a relatively lengthy amount of time to understand ACH and instant payments.

I think there's another way I could have cut this, but I want to cut it this way because I want to point out

really the lack of basic knowledge in cryptocurrency that we see elsewhere in the financial system.

I think I recently spoke in a room of 300 financial professionals and asked, how many of you would say that you have an above average knowledge of crypto?

And the number is very small.

No, no, less than that, less than that.

It was probably, you know, 10 or 15 people in the whole room.

And I know that people don't always want to participate in those raise your hand games, but people love to brag when they know crypto.

So I would think people are going to.

So I would say that, you know, it is a method of moving money that we need to all have a basic level of competency in because that's how bad guys are moving money these days.

Easy one for me.

So we're talking about two platforms.

We're talking about a Microsoft-owned platform and a Meta-owned platform.

And I'll tell you, one of these reached out to me after hearing me speak two weeks ago and said, we wanna work with you and help you.

And that was Microsoft.

We've also seen Microsoft be helpful in this space.

Meta, that is not my experience with Meta.

Meta has not been at all helpful.

And I, in fact, have gone to Meta with intelligence and with suggestions about how we could help each other in sharing information about what is happening in Southeast Asia.

So when I first started talking about this in 2022, I would always say that there were really four ways that these bad actors were going to reach you.
