I am incredibly proud of the amazing team at the QDA Cybercrime and Cryptocurrency Unit! Section Chief Liz Speck, Sgt. Linda Den Dekker, and Sr. ADA Catherine Jahn (the LLC) are truly among the best in the business. I am honored to lead them. This recent case is another example of the outstanding work being done by local law enforcement and the collaborative efforts within the "crypto community" fostered by the vision of individuals like Erin West at the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office and Mike Kelly at the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, who have created crucial educational and networking platforms that enhance the capabilities of local law enforcement agencies. As the borders of crime have expanded to the point of disappearing in the cybercime space, having a network to rely on is critical. To that end, a HUGE thank you to Robert Romero and the too many to name agents in the Division of Law Enforcement at the California Department of Justice for their assistance in bringing this case to conclusion. I also want to acknowledge and thank Jason Trager and FTI Consulting for providing invaluable expertise in blockchain and cryptocurrency matters. Prosecutors need to be prepared not just to assist in the investigation, but also to litigate these issues. Leveraging private sector experts as we build our rosters in the public domain is critical to achieving that mission. In today's criminal landscape it is imperative for law enforcement agencies at all levels to prioritize enhancing their capabilities in cryptocurrency and cyber disciplines. This recent case, along with the great work being done by other local offices like the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, and Office of the New York State Attorney General, as well as other agencies across the United States, hopefully serves as an example of this and what is possible.
