Crypto Investigations

In the second episode of our English series our guest on the
podcast is Marlon Pinto. Mr. Pinto leads the investigations team at
AnotherDay, a global intelligence, security and investigations
advisory based in London. He and Dr Rosinus talk about the work of
Mr. Pinto’s team around crypto currency issues. Mr. Pinto explains
that he has a great deal of expertise in the field of
cryptocurrency investigations due to his previous experience in law
enforcement. In doing so, he talks about how the work differs from
the private sector. Mr Pinto explains that he and his team work
together closely with litigators who are approached by victims of
potential cryptocurrency crimes and how they try to recover funds
and find evidence. He describes that their main job is to gather
and curate evidence which may be used in court. In order to do so
they analyse blockchains, trace cryptocurrency transactions and
visualise the transaction chains for the judges. Mr. Pinto also
explains how it is possible to identify the person behind a
cryptocurrency crime and in which jurisdictions investigations tend
to be more difficult. Furthermore, Dr Rosinus und Mr Pinto talk
about trends in cryptocurrency crimes. Mr Pinto gives an overview
of crypto-fraud schemes and states that in the near past there was
an influx of wire fraud. Finally, Mr Pinto and Dr Rosinus give
advice about the course of action when a person becomes a victim of
a cryptocurrency crime. Dr. Rosinus in dialogue with: Marlon Pinto
