Introduction

Picture this: you’re the FBI, trying to track down the digital keys that will give you access to illicit or stolen crypto. In 2021 alone, cops in the U.S. and U.K, seized billions of dollars in Crypto-assets from various different criminal busts.

With so much money on the line, enforcement agencies around the world have had to learn quickly how to spot these digital assets and seize them from accused criminals. 

In this episode, Bloomberg reporters Ellen MiIligan and David Voreacos join to discuss how the seizures of digital assets are transforming policing policies and protocols around the world.
