‍📅Date: 3/19/2026 ⏱️Duration: 60 minutes

📊Expertise Level: Intermediate‍

Description:

Crypto investigations demand more than blockchain lookups—they require an understanding ofbehavior, motivation, and operational patternsbehind illicit activity. This session combines behavioral intelligence, blockchain tracing fundamentals, and traditional investigative techniques to help analysts build stronger, more complete cases.

Erin shares how modern criminal networks layer transactions, use cross-chain hops, exploit gaming ecosystems, misuse privacy tools, and leverage OTC brokers to obscure movement. You’ll learn how to merge on-chain data with off-chain intelligence, how to interpret subtle anomalies, and how to structure an investigation from the first alert to the final narrative.

Participants will leave with an actionable framework for identifying red flags, connecting fragmented information, and strengthening crypto-related SAR filings. This training bridges the gap between technical blockchain analysis and real-world investigative instincts.

Who This Is Designed For: Compliance officers, AML/FIU investigators, crypto risk teams, fraud examiners, law enforcement, and financial analysts expanding into digital asset investigations.

Agenda:

  • Behavioral Red Flags: Understanding criminal motives in crypto environments

  • On-Chain Risk Indicators: Wallet patterns, mixers, cross-chain activity, and subtle anomalies

  • Off-Chain Intelligence: What investigators should collect beyond blockchain data

  • Case Structuring: How to turn fragmented clues into a compelling investigative narrative

  • SAR & Reporting Considerations: Documenting findings effectively

  • Real Case Walkthroughs: Lessons from crypto-enabled financial crimes

By the end of this webinar, you will know how to:

  • Identify behavioral and technical red flags in crypto activity

  • Interpret on-chain transactions through an investigative mindset

  • Combine off-chain and on-chain intelligence for stronger case development

  • Apply a structured investigative framework to crypto alerts

  • Enhance SAR quality for digital asset–related cases

  • Anticipate emerging typologies in crypto-enabled crime

Note: This program meets the eligibility criteria for continuing education under ACFCS and is eligible for 1 credit.
