Coinfirm: Crypto Crime Investigations Panel

A recent report from our partner Chainalysis showed that crypto related crime reached an all-time high during 2021, with fraudulent activity accounting for $14 Billion worth of blockchain transactions over the year. Will 2022 continue this trend or is change on the horizon? Our Co-Founder & CEO Aidan Larkin will be joining a panel of industry leading experts to discuss their collective insights on combating illicit financial flows. The panel is aimed at cryptocurrency businesses, regulators, law enforcement and financial institutions interested in helping the fight against financial crime. They’ll be covering:

• Money Laundering
