Cryptocurrency, a digital payment system that functions outside of the traditional financial system, is a rapidly developing issue for law enforcement and financial institutions. Transacting in cryptocurrency creates the perception of elevated levels of confidentiality or pseudonymity. As this and other related innovations continue to gain a foothold in the economy, criminal exploitation of these systems and methods increases. With cryptocurrency now firmly entrenched in both domestic and international commerce, it is vital that law enforcement, financial institutions and financial crimes investigators have a firm understanding of what cryptocurrency is, how it works, and how it can be used in both legitimate and illicit activities. This is the first module in the Certified Cryptocurrency Investigator Course.   Training Support: trainingsupport@blockchaingroup.io Read more

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies offer a relatively fast, inexpensive, and anonymous system of conducting transactions as compared to more traditional financial means. The acceptance of these digital currencies in the mainstream financial system also means that criminals can now easily introduce funds into the legitimate economy with little possibility of identification. Recording these transactions, however, provides law enforcement, investigators, auditors and compliance professionals the ability to track and identify the networks and hubs the currency is flowing through. In this course, you will learn common crimes where cryptocurrrency is involved, peer to peer exchanges and investigation tips.   Training Support: trainingsupport@blockchaingroup.io Read more
