Outlier Compliance Group's CEO Amber Scott joins the show to talk about some current crypto events in the Great White North! First, Amber & Sasha discuss some regulatory changes currently in the pipeline for Canadian cryptocurrency platforms.

Then, they talk about one of the biggest issues in Canadian current events, the "Freedom Convoy." They'll separate the facts from the myths about the Canadian government's emergency measures, how they affect both fiat and crypto donations to the protest, and why people who donate or facilitate donations might be facing some serious ramifications for supporting what the Trudeau government is calling a "blockade."

ABOUT THE GUEST:

After graduating from the University of Waterloo, Amber joined the compliance group at one of Canada’s largest insurers where she focused on the implementation of technology-based processes to streamline compliance.  She has since worked in in-house roles with major securities firms and banks. Somewhere along the line, she added MBA, CBP, and a few other letters after her name.   Amber joined a boutique compliance consulting firm, then larger consulting firm, before getting frustrated enough with the status quo to launch Outlier Solutions Inc. (Outlier) in 2013. Outlier specializes in anti-money laundering (AML) and privacy compliance. The company is based on one of the premises of Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers: that to be really good at something you need a lot of practice (about 10,000 hours). Each of Outlier's team members has 10,000 hours or more of in-house (not consulting) compliance experience. Amber loves leading this team of entrepreneurial compliance badasses.
