Korfuzi, Insider Trading & Money Laundering

(mis)Conduct, Money & Reputation

Insider trading, money laundering, and reputational risk in asset management take centre stage in this episode, featuring the recent conviction of Redinel and Oerta Korfuzi.

David Masters and Neil Robson examine how confidential market information was exploited, how the FCA uncovered the scheme, and why the asset manager involved avoided lasting reputational fallout. The conversation also considers how remote working exposed new compliance risks and why historic control failures still carry weight.

They revisit past high-profile cases including Philippe Jabre and David Einhorn, explore the growing crossover between insider trading and money laundering, and ask whether a damaged reputation in asset management can ever truly recover.

Recorded and produced at the Lansons Studios
