A London-based headhunting firm, Odin Partners, is accused of using fake identities and job offers to deceive Wall Street traders into disclosing confidential salary and profit and loss information. The firm allegedly created fictitious companies, such as 'Omertion Group,' and claimed affiliations with major firms like Goldman Sachs to lend credibility to their schemes. This fraudulent activity has raised concerns about the security and integrity of financial information within the Wall Street trading community.
