For the last decade, the top echelons of American and global law enforcement—the FBI, the CIA, the Treasury Department, Homeland Security—have raced to develop new ways to trace the flow of crypto funds across the digital ecosystem. Their mission? To stop the hackers, spoofers, phishers, and scammers who seek to hide their crimes behind the anonymity of the blockchain. These efforts have birthed a new generation of crime hunters—forensic investigators, technologists, coders—who are as native to the crypto ecosystem as the criminals they track down. These are their stories. Crime3 explores the new and bizarre world of crypto crime. Brought to you by Decrypt Media (https://decrypt.co/), the news organization demystifying the technologies of today, and TRM Labs (https://www.trmlabs.com/), the company providing digital asset compliance and risk management to top government agencies and financial institutions around the world, we'll profile some of the most brilliant and absurd crypto criminals you've probably never heard of, as told by the very crypto crime hunters who helped track them down.
