Public Key Episode 45 preview: Law enforcement collaboration to combat pig butchering crypto scams
A multi-billion dollar scam operation that incorporates industrial-scale scam centers, human trafficking, fake cryptocurrency investment websites, and cryptocurrency. Pig butchering is emerging as a serious priority for law enforcement who are seeing victims lose their life savings to fraudsters that may be victims themselves.
In this episode, Ian Andrews (Chief Marketing Officer, Chainalysis) is joined by cybercrime-savvy public sector heroes, Erin West (Deputy District Attorney, Santa Clara County, Office of the District Attorney) and Alona Katz (Deputy Bureau Chief of the Cybercrime and Identity Theft Bureau, Manhattan District Attorney’s Office), who give the victim perspective of these complex crypto-related crimes.
Alona and Erin explain how victims are being taken advantage of and how public-private partnerships and law enforcement coalitions are collaborating to combat this billion-dollar industry. They share heartbreaking stories from victims, but also give practical tips on how law enforcement and the general public can do their part in the fight against these investment scams.
今回のエピソードの名言
“The thing that we, that I’m sure Alona has seen too with cryptocurrency, is you need a lot of partners. This is not something that one investigator can do by themself. You need private partners, you need public partners, you need local law enforcement. You need federal law enforcement, and the idea of putting together task forces, smaller task forces nationwide, I think is a great way to tackle this.” – Erin West (Deputy District Attorney, Santa Clara County, Office of the District Attorney)
