Thanks to both Daniel and the team of Monzo for letting me in the building and chatting about what they do. As stated in the video: I am a customer of Monzo but this video is not sponsored or supported by them.

This was a public service video. It was very good of Monzo to participate in this. It's too bad that Ticketmaster didn't acknowledge them. Fascinating stuff.
-
Well done Monzo for being open to having a discussion about this
-
If Monzo haven't paid you for this, then they should. What a fascinatingly transparent discussion, instant new customer!
-
Wow, this was surprisingly open about the methodology considering they work with security. Thanks a lot to Monzo and Daniel for sharing!
-
Matt, you've gotten loads better at interviewing people. Great job. I also really like where the content has been going lately.
-
A brilliant young man. The bank is lucky to have him.
-
Really interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing, Matt! And thanks for agreeing to the interview, Monzo!
-
From the title, I thought this was going to be the standard video on Benford's Law. I'm happy to see it wasn't, because it was really interesting!!
-
Daniel is clearly so good and knowledgeable at his job, I’m jealous he’s not working in my industry. We need more people like him. Sadly if you’re that good you don’t tend to end up in my industry.
-
Awesome of Monzo to let you do this interview. Really interesting.
-
Great video! It reminds me of those computerphile videos were they report on new exploits and cyber attacks. It’s weird because I would love to see more videos like that, but that implies having more exploits and people/systems being affected. It was super cool for the bank to let you do this interview and I appreciate that you went through all the trouble of convincing them. Cheers, Matt.

"It's just highschool stats" nice ticketmaster shade!

Inb4 "damn the monzo employee is young"

That kid looks and sounds like a young James Grimes

This is a fantastic inspiration. I remember my dad loved talking about the old system that used to be shared with some banks which used it to analyze usage and fraud statistics. It's great to see that your bank decided to be a detective and active good citizen on such an issue. Very interesting to see they could identify a potential breach, just about conclusively
-
So interesting! Great work Daniel, I’ve never been happier that I use Monzo! You’d never see a traditional bank talk about this sort of thing!
-
Thank You...And all Your patreon supporters for yet another great and interesting video.
-
He comes across as a sincere and interested interviewer.
-
Cool, but what's with the red plastic sea sponge thing? Seems like an odd decoration
-
That red piece of coral looks like a really creepy glove.
