Cryptocurrency and Digital Assets Investigation Guide Book
I’m excited to announce the release of my comprehensive guide, “Cryptocurrency Investigations: A Practical Guide for Law Enforcement and Financial Intelligence”—the product of decades in both law enforcement and the blockchain industry.
Why This Book Matters for Investigators
Cryptocurrency and digital assets are now central to financial crime and investigative work. Traditional investigative mindsets and tools are no longer enough. This book is designed to bridge the technical and legal gaps facing agencies today and provides:
- Foundational Technical Knowledge: Clear explanations of blockchain, Bitcoin, Ethereum, wallets, addresses, stablecoins, mixers, and privacy coins.
- Cutting-Edge Investigative Techniques: Step-by-step tracing, cluster analysis, and using transaction heuristics to link on-chain data to real-world actors.
- Case Studies: In-depth breakdowns of landmark cases—the Silk Road Bitcoin seizure, Hydra Market takedown, the “Squid Game” rug pull, and Bitfinex hack.
- Legal & Regulatory Insights: Guidance on AML, KYC compliance, asset seizure, and cross-border/jurisdictional challenges.
- Practical Tools & Resources: Checklists, field guides.
