Erin West, Founder of Operation Shamrock, will present the opening keynote for Techno Security East on June 3. Her presentation, “Operation Shamrock: Disrupting Transnational Crime and Protecting Victims,” uncovers the dark world of “pig butchering” scams — sophisticated schemes run by global criminal networks that exploit victims through manipulation and financial deception.

West will show how these crimes are part of a larger international threat, exploiting gaps in law enforcement, banking, and regulatory systems. Operation Shamrock focuses on fostering collaboration between law enforcement, financial institutions, and policymakers to disrupt criminal enterprises and protect communities worldwide.
