Episode 434 — Due Diligence in the Age of AI: A Conversation with Dan Greenberg

In this episode of Corruption, Crime and Compliance, Michael Volkov sits down with Dan Greenberg, founder of Greenberg Corporate Intelligence, to unpack how due diligence and corporate investigations have evolved over Dan’s fifteen-plus years in the field. They cover the uneven state of corporate transparency worldwide, from the UK’s Companies House registry to persistent secrecy havens in the BVI, Cayman Islands, and even certain U.S. states, and discuss how generative AI now lets fraudsters build convincing fake websites, executive bios, and LinkedIn profiles with minimal effort, raising the bar for investigators who must verify rather than trust what they find online. Dan walks through his three-bucket approach to gathering intelligence (traditional public records, advanced open-source and social media analysis, and human sources), and the conversation turns to the unique challenges of investigating counterparties tied to China and Russia, where nuance and thoroughness are essential to avoid overbroad assumptions. The episode closes on a practical note for compliance professionals: as supply chain, sanctions, trade, cybersecurity, and AI-vendor risks pile onto traditional FCPA-driven due diligence, resolving red flags and documenting the process remain the non-negotiable foundations of an effective program.
