The Investigator’s Playbook for Crypto: Behavioral, Technical & Financial Red Flags
📅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.
