Business of Business EIC Smythe talks about white collar fraud

Christie Smythe, the editor in chief of website The Business of Business, talks about her job running the publication.

She oversees its content, which includes technology, emerging trends and data.

Smythe continues to do some writing. “There is more than enough work to go around for everyone,” she said.

Smythe has focused her coverage on white collar fraud and recently wrote about a penny stock fraud case where a person pumped a stock price using Twitter.

“I’m pretty fascinated by people who break the rules. It’s interesting and edgy,” she said “… I do like to understand that psychology and get the full story.”
