Raul Carrillo

The University of Massachusetts Amherst is hosting a series of interdisciplinary lectures on the rapidly advancing field of financial technology, exploring how Wall Street firms and investors could benefit, efforts to regulate the industry to guard against fraud and abuse, and the potential for unintended outcomes as technology continues to evolve. The Fintech for the Common Good lecture series will feature speakers from the fields of finance, law and computer science to facilitate discussion and research collaborations. The lectures are free and open to the public. 

A lecture by Columbia Law School Professor Raul Carrillo on the rise and fall of the FTX crypto-trading platform will kick off the series on Tuesday, April 16 at 12:15 p.m. in the Commonwealth Honors College events hall. Carrillo regularly advises federal policymakers on regulatory matters and has previously served as special counsel to the enforcement director at the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
