Economics at Duke University. Dan is a founding member of the Center for
Advanced Hindsight, co-creator of the film documentary (Dis)Honesty:
The Truth About Lies, and a three-time New York Times bestselling author.
His books include Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, The
Honest Truth About Dishonesty, and Irrationally Yours. These books
are Dan’s attempt to take his research findings and describe them in
nonacademic terms so that more people will learn about this type of
research, discover the excitement of behavioral economics, and possibly
use some of the insights to enrich their own lives.
In 2013 Bloomberg recognized Dan as one of the Top 50 Most Influential
thinkers. He also has a bi-weekly advice column in the Wall Street Journal
called “Ask Ariely.” Dan can be found at www.danariely.com.

Carson Block is the Chief Investment Officer of Muddy Waters Capital
LLC, an activist investment firm. Muddy Waters conducts extensive
due diligence based investment research on companies around the
globe. Bloomberg Markets Magazine named Mr. Block as one of the
“50 Most Influential in Global Finance” in 2011. The following year,
Muddy Waters received the prestigious Boldness in Business Award
from the Financial Times. In September 2015, Mr. Block was featured
in the book, The Most Dangerous Trade: How Short Sellers Uncover
Fraud, Keep Markets Honest, and Make and Lose Billions, by former
Bloomberg writer Richard Teitelbaum. Muddy Waters gained fame in
2011 following the publication of its research on Sino-Forest Corp.,
a China-based forestry company then listed on the Toronto Stock
Exchange. Following the report, which exposed massive fraud at the
company, Sino-Forest lost nearly $6 billion in market capitalization,
its auditor resigned and regulators halted its shares. The company
filed for bankruptcy in 2012 and the Ontario Securities Commission
brought fraud charges against Sino-Forest, its auditors and its
senior management for overstating its timber assets and misleading
investigators. Sino-Forest’s auditors at Ernst and Young have since
paid $117 million to settle investor lawsuits. Research conducted
by Muddy Waters has led to numerous financial restatements by
companies, fraud investigations and other actions by financial
regulators and de-listings by national stock exchanges. In September
2015, The Securities and Exchange Commission fined Focus Media
Holding Ltd. and its CEO $55.6 million for fraud and inaccurate
disclosers that were first brought to light by Muddy Waters in 2011.
Mr. Block appears frequently as a commentator on Bloomberg
Television, CNBC and the BBC. He has written op-eds in the Wall
Street Journal, Financial Times, and New York Times on various topics
related to improving corporate governance and market transparency.
Prior to forming Muddy Waters, Mr. Block was an entrepreneur in
China and worked as a lawyer in the Shanghai office of the U.S. law
firm Jones Day. In 2007, he co-authored Doing Business in China
for Dummies, a primer on doing business in China. He holds a B.S. in
business from the University of Southern California and a J.D. from
the Chicago-Kent College of Law, where he has also served as an
adjunct professor.
