CryptoMondays London returns on August 17 to explore how crypto is being used in fraud, scams and money laundering.
Crypto moves fast — and so does crypto crime.
Funds can move across wallets, exchanges, stablecoins and different blockchains in minutes, often across multiple countries at the same time.
So what happens when something goes wrong?
How are illicit funds being moved today? How do investigators follow the trail? And once stolen crypto is found, how difficult is it to actually freeze, seize or recover it?
Whether you’re building in crypto, investing, or just using it day to day, knowing what happens when funds are stolen or misused is becoming more important than ever.
We’ll explore:
- How crypto is being used in fraud, scams and money laundering
- How illicit funds move across wallets, exchanges and blockchains
- The challenges of tracing and investigating cross-border crypto crime
- What happens when stolen or illicit crypto is identified
- How freezing, seizure and asset recovery work in practice
