Crypto Crime Investigation Workshop at SHIELD Conference
I conducted a workshop at the SHIELD Conference in Hyderabad for officials from law-enforcement agencies and intelligence departments across India.
The session focused on a practical SOP for cryptocurrency-related crime investigation:
- Gather case information: wallet addresses, transaction IDs, time ranges, and known entities.
- Establish a money trail by tracing on-chain movement across wallets and transactions.
- Identify exchange or KYC-enabled endpoints where legal requests can produce identity information.
- Use reports to support prosecution, fund recovery, account freezing, or criminal-network mapping.
The session used live case studies solved through Hornet and focused on making blockchain investigation workflows understandable and usable for officers handling crypto fraud, laundering, and cybercrime cases.
