Shady Finance

ULABA X Mariano Federici

Remember that as much as it KILLS YOU to read this 600-word newsletter, it ABSOLUTELY ASSASSINATES me to be writing it at 3:24am. So do me the favor of giving me five minutes of your attention!

Speaking of staying alive… [clears throat, knees trembling] I would like to thank Beyonce for everything that she’s done for us. She is truly the greatest artist of our generation and I… am nothing without her 👀 (phew…)

Anyhoosles, we will be speaking with Mariano Federici on Thursday at 12:30PM (Tisch Hall, UC-25… duh). Get ready to hear some stories of high-stakes finance and white collar crimes. Oh, and if you think Argentinians aren’t capable of some shaaadyyy stuff… you haven’t met Victoria B.

Look at Sofia feasting! Yes girl, you ate!

Internship Spotlight – Ladder Internships

Ladder runs a selective internship program for college students to work with VC-backed start-ups; company founders come from the Y Combinator, Goldman Sachs, Google, Microsoft, and McKinsey. Most companies have raised between $1-10mm. In the program, students work 1:1 with top start-ups on real-world projects. Companies in the program cover industries like AI & Machine Learning, Healthcare, FinTech and BioTech.

Thursday Meeting

On Thursday, we’ll be hosting Mariano Federici, the former president of Argentina’s Financial Intelligence Unit. At FIU, Federici led Argentina’s operational and strategic financial intel efforts, fostered international cooperation with FIU’s regional counterparts, and managed the group’s criminal litigation processes. He’s since continued to have a reputation as a global expert in financial integrity, specializing in anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF).
