Alexander Barzacanos spoke with Jeremy Sheridan, Managing Director at FTI Consulting and an expert in digital assets and financial crime investigations.
They discussed how organizations should approach the risks and security implications of cryptocurrency, blockchain transactions and AI-enabled fraud.
The conversation covered:
- How financial crime has evolved alongside cryptocurrency, digital payment systems and AI.
- The use of digital assets by individual criminals and state-backed actors.
- How blockchain records help investigators trace illicit funds, and how criminals use mixers, bridges and chain hopping to obscure them.
- The growing use of AI, deepfakes and tailored communications in fraud, and the potential for blockchain to verify data integrity.
- The controls firms can adopt now and the broader regulatory risks surrounding digital assets in the United States.
