Traders at some of the world's largest banks are accused of being misled by taking the initiative to make so-called “cold calls”. These cold calls use potential job opportunities such as Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley as bait to guide them to reveal details such as their wages, the composition of their own team, and even confidential profit and loss statements on their trading desks. But in reality, these jobs often don't exist. The callers' names are false, and even their alleged employers, such as Omertion Group or AMO Research, are false. Ten people familiar with the matter revealed that these calls were made by employees of the recruitment and market intelligence company Odin Partners. Due to the sensitive nature of the topic, people familiar with the matter requested anonymity. Odin operates in London, Singapore, and Hong Kong. According to its website, it has recruited more than 900 executives for international financial institutions, making it one of the most famous recruitment companies in the financial industry over the past 10 years. According to people with direct knowledge of the situation, most of the company's information comes from legitimate interactions with traders, including face-to-face meetings. But Odin workers are also allegedly using false identities to obtain sensitive market intelligence from traders at some of the world's largest banks. According to several people familiar with the matter, this information has been shared with unsuspecting customers. Odin's customers include Wall Street giants such as Citigroup and Morgan Stanley, as well as European banks such as UBS Group, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, and BNP Paribas. These banks are not commenting on this article.
