E153: Does an AI Agent social network spell financial crime disaster?

Everyone is talking about Moltbook, the social network exclusively for AI agents built using OpenClaw.

But they aren't just chatting —they’re executing tasks, making decisions, and potentially plotting.

If these agents are running their own social networks, could they be prompted to orchestrate global fraud, money laundering, and sanctions evasion?

Our expert hosts, Marit Rødevand and Robin Lycka, sit down to ask: does an AI Agent social network spell financial crime disaster?

The pair discuss: why Moltbook and OpenClaw should have your attention, the potential uses for financial criminals and compliance professionals, and Robin's attempts to build a shady shark network that’s up to no good!
