Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 24 September
Query:
My name is Howard Altman. I am researching a story about account
takeover fraud and money laundering for AICPA.org and I hope you
can answer some questions for me. I am seeking CFOs,
particularly those from outside the U.S.
The basis of this story is the case of Igor Buzyukov and his
account take overs at a FinTech firm.
https://www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/florida-man-admits-laundering-more-9-million-account-takeover-scheme
What can you tell me about Buzyukov and his scheme?
Do you know the names of any of the companies that fell victim?
Who was he working with and is the identity of the people in
Russia, Turkey and Ukraine who received the funds known?
Who would be most likely to use this type of a scheme to launder
money? Criminal gangs? Individuals? DTOs? VTOs? State actors?
Why?
What is the main initial source of these funds?
How prevalent are these account takeovers for money laundering
purposes?
What are the red flags that CFOs should know?
What should CFOs know about these schemes, what steps should
they take to avoid them and what steps should they take once one
is discovered? An email response by COB Thursday, 9/24, is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.
Sincerely,
Howard Altman

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 24 September
Query:
I'm working on a piece about whether or not drones are more
environmentally friendly than traditional delivery methods.
Have you done any research on the topic? I'd love to take a look
and cite it, if it's relevant.
1. What's your argument for/against drone delivery in regards to
environmental benefits? 2. Is drone delivery better in some
situations, but perhaps not others? 3. Is there a world where
drones could become more environmentally friendly over time,
perhaps if certain technology improves? 4. Is there another
social good case for drone delivery, even if it's not always the
most environmentally friendly option?
Requirements:
You're an expert in shipping/delivery, logistics or drones. You
have some sort of research/numbers to back up your claim
(whether or not drone delivery is better for the environment
than traditional delivery methods).

Query:
I am working on a story looking at how developers are "using AI
motion analytics to unlock movement intelligence." Developers
are developing a variety of techniques for making sense of how
people move in the real world. This is being applied to
improving worker productivity, giving exercise feedback, and
ensuring social distancing guidelines in the workplace. This
article looks at some of the techniques people are using, the
challenges they are encountering, and the lessons they have
learned in putting these applications into productions. I am
looking for sources that can weigh in on the following via email:
-What are some of the interesting application of using AI to
make sense of how people move in the real world?
-What are some of the challenges of making this work in practice
and best practices for addressing these?
-What are some of the libraries, tools, and services developers
can use to simplify the development of these kinds of apps?
Thanks in advance, George

"types of bias in data analysis and how to avoid them." I am
looking for sources that can weigh in following via email:

What can be done to avoid them. Include specific use cases where

cases where bias is supposed to be removed but is sometimes
introduced. It's important to not just point out what the biases
are, but also include a way to reduce those biases.
