Exposing a fraud finance influencer claiming to work at JP Morgan.
Moksh Sanghvi, a finance influencer with 100k+ followers posted a reel on October 10 claiming to work in quant at JP Morgan.
Now, go to his LinkedIn.
He’s listed as a Director of Business Development at a medical device components company and a co-founder of an electronics components business. There is no mention of JP Morgan. No quant role. No internship. No previous stint. Absolutely nothing. Let that sink in. Someone building an audience in finance is publicly claiming a prestigious quantitative finance job that seemingly has no trace on his professional profile.
And this isn't the first time.
Some time ago, he posted another reel claiming to work full-time at Morgan Stanley. From what I remember, people questioned that claim in the comments, and the reel disappeared shortly afterwards. Morgan Stanley doesn't appear on his LinkedIn either. So first Morgan Stanley, now JP Morgan? Two major investment banks, a supposed career in quant, and somehow none of this shows up on the very platform professionals use to document their careers.
But here's why this matters beyond an influencer trying to look impressive on Instagram.
He also runs a paid cohort where he showcases stock research, charging ₹699 per person.
This is fraud/scam-guy behaviour, plain and simple. Throw around prestigious bank names, manufacture credibility, attract followers, and then charge people for your "finance community". What a convenient business model. There's nothing wrong with his actual listed career. There's everything wrong with knowingly misrepresenting your credentials to gain traction and sell people financial expertise you claim to possess.
100k followers don't make you credible, and a prestigious bank's name isn't your personal marketing prop. Show the proof. People deserve better than potentially fabricated credentials and ₹699 worth of bullshit.
