Law Enforcement on the Blockchain
summary
Panel details specific cases and tradecraft: a non-prosecution agreement with a Ripple-era firm follows undercover buys that show large transfers with only email identifiers and no AML/KYC; blockchain analysis maps transaction trees and distinguishes distinct actors, ultimately linking theft to an officer via a MtGox deposit and MtGox deposit trails; mixers and cross-coin hops frustrate tracing; a separate CoinMX $2M enforcement alleges an unlicensed exchange hiding behind a fake collectibles front and a captive credit union, so robust exchange AML remains the critical exit-point.
