View University of Manchester programmeProfessional focus
Work that connects regulatory expectation to how a business actually operates.
Tyronne works across governance design, risk management, regulatory readiness, financial crime, AML, digital assets, payments, remediation and licensing. The common thread is practical implementation: who owns the decision, what evidence exists, how controls operate and whether the arrangement would make sense under scrutiny.
Working approach
Clear responsibility, useful evidence and enough commercial context to make the answer workable.
Assignments are approached as operating problems rather than document exercises. That means understanding the business model, regulatory perimeter, people, vendors, systems and incentives before deciding what should change.
Selected project experience
Regulatory work across licensing, transformation, audit and board oversight.
A selection of programmes and mandates that illustrate the kind of work Tyronne has led or supported across the UK, EU and Switzerland.

Whistleblowing and the Miles Guo fraud case
While working within Hamilton Capital Holdings Limited, a private equity firm that had acquired Himalaya Exchange, Tyronne has publicly documented that he identified and escalated suspected fraud, token-related misconduct, compliance concerns and manipulation of internal records to regulators before the U.S. indictment was unsealed in March 2023. The U.S. Department of Justice later prosecuted a billion-dollar fraud conspiracy involving Himalaya Exchange. Miles Guo was convicted and, in June 2026, sentenced to 30 years in prison with $889 million ordered forfeited.
The DOJ links below confirm the prosecution, conviction, sentencing and the role of Himalaya Exchange in the charged schemes. Tyronne’s separate public account describes his own whistleblowing and regulatory engagement. The site does not present the DOJ as independently attributing the prosecution to his disclosures.
