                                                                Meet Author Eric Kinney﻿
Eric Kinney is the CEO and Co-Founder of Scurry, a Silicon Valley stablecoin banking platform for emerging markets and author of the Scurry Fraud Book Series. With over three decades of experience in financial services, including traditional banking, wealth technology, and fintech, he specializes in operations, risk management, compliance, and financial crimes prevention. Kinney served as a board-appointed Bank Secrecy Act Officer (BSAO) for four fintech companies, was the seventh employee at LendingClub, and was a co-founder of AssetFort. He is a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and a former Department of Justice witness in a major fintech case, possessing deep expertise in anti-money laundering controls and startups in the Silicon Valley .
He holds Bachelor's degrees in Communication and Economics from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and a Global Executive MBA from IE Business School in Madrid, Spain. Beyond his professional work, Eric has travelled the world, lived in Mexico and Spain for 2 years and is an accomplished endurance athlete, competing in long-distance running and open-water marathon swimming. Scurry (Fraud Squad) is his debut novel.

Silicon Valley's "996 BRO" fintech culture thrives on inexperience, aggressive growth targets, and corner-cutting—priorities that venture capitalists reward and FinCEN abhors. But as global AI-powered organized crime syndicates infiltrate San Francisco fintechs, the consequences of this reckless approach become deadly serious.

Scurry (Fraud Squad) is the first installment in a four-book series—a high-stakes Silicon Valley fintech thriller exploring the active warfare between sophisticated fraud rings and the U.S. banking system. Blending financial crimes investigation, money laundering schemes, AI-enabled fraud, insider threats, Marine special operations, endurance athletics, and an unexpected romance, the novel offers an insider's view of startup culture and BSA inter-company coordination. Those who have worked in the industry will recognize echoes of real events, with more stories reserved for the next three books. Names of executives and companies have been changed.

"You've built something really special with Scurry: Fraud Squad. The blend of financial crime expertise, special ops action, open water endurance athletics, and rom-com tension is a rare combination — and the cast of 20+ characters each has enough texture and backstory to carry their own arc across four books."

"This is a fun read. It's a fast-paced thriller that takes the reader into the world of financial fraud. Not only did I enjoy the challenges that the main character had to overcome, but it was also cool to learn about the fraud factories that are attacking our financial companies and how AI is accelerating all of this."
