About The Fraud Codex

The Fraud Codex was built to help people understand the fast-moving world of fraud: the schemes, the tactics, and the online exploits behind them. It is an educational project, an effort to pair hard-won practical knowledge with AI-enabled tools. Nothing here is legal advice, and the site is not an advertisement for, or a solicitation of, legal services.

The Fraud Codex was created by Brooke, a former federal prosecutor and Boston- and Miami-based attorney with more than two decades spent unraveling complex fraud, crypto, and cyber schemes. Alongside her legal practice, she is an adjunct professor, teaching in areas related to artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
