In Episode 38, Yitzy interviews Nick Furneaux, a pioneer in cryptocurrency investigations and digital forensics. They discuss the realities of crypto crime, the evolution of investigations, and the importance of understanding cryptocurrency for law enforcement. Nick literally wrote the book on investigating cryptocurrencies (like, literally, his first book is called “Investigating Cryptocurrencies’) - and just released his second book, ‘There is No Such Thing as Crypto Crime’ - with a foreword written by Beyond the Code podcast alum, Erin West. In this episode, Nick shares insights from his books, including the misconceptions surrounding crypto crime and the need for education in the field. They also explore real-life case studies and the future of crypto investigations, emphasizing the importance of victim support and the challenges faced by investigators.
