Vcheck Global had the opportunity to speak with Simona Weinglass, an investigative journalist for the Times of Israel, earlier this year about her 2016 investigation into Israel’s binary options industry, The Wolves of Tel Aviv, which was awarded an honorable mention in the Trace Prize for Investigative Reporting competition.
