Blockchain & Fraud: Wild West 2.0 or Investigative Goldmine?

CPE: 2

Join us in the heart of Crypto Valley for an exclusive ACFE Switzerland event that dives into the fast-evolving world of blockchain technology and its impact on fraud investigations. This afternoon session will explore how fraud schemes are emerging and evolving in the crypto space—while also revealing how blockchain technology can serve as a powerful tool for financial crime investigators.

We’ll cover:

• A non-technical introduction to blockchain fundamentals

• Key differences in tracing assets in traditional finance vs on the blockchain

• Opportunities and challenges in crypto investigations

• Real-life fraud scenarios and case studies—from smaller schemes to billion-dollar laundering operations

• A deep dive into North Korea’s role in crypto crime, ICO risks, and the current investigative landscape
