Crypto Crime Evolution unveils the hidden world where digital currencies and crime intersect, revealing how technology meant to revolutionize finance has also become a tool for illicit activities. The book traces the evolution of crypto crime, from early dark web marketplaces like Silk Road, where Bitcoin facilitated anonymous transactions, to today’s sophisticated money laundering schemes using De Fi platforms.
The book explores how criminals exploit the pseudo-anonymous nature of blockchain and the lack of regulatory oversight to perpetrate scams, fraud, and ransomware attacks. It highlights the ongoing arms race between criminals adapting to technological loopholes and law enforcement struggling to keep pace. By examining case studies, blockchain data, and reports from law enforcement, it offers a comprehensive understanding of this dynamic landscape.
Structured to provide a thorough analysis, the book progresses through key eras: the dark web, the rise of scams, and modern money laundering techniques. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical trajectory of crypto-enabled crime to develop effective countermeasures.
This book is valuable for anyone in law enforcement, cybersecurity, finance, or those simply interested in the risks associated with cryptocurrency.
