He is a white-collar criminologist. He was the Executive Director of the Institute for Fraud Prevention from 2005-2007.

He is a serial whistleblower and co-founder of Bank Whistleblowers United. He authored The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One.
In this episode, William Black speaks about the article he co-authored with June Carbone "The Problem with Predators" published in the Seattle University Law Review in 2020.

These toxic workplace cultures tend to increase workplace bullying, sexual harassment, and discrimination.
