Tracking the history and evolution of crypto crime from the rise of the Dark Web to the present day, Carlisle recounts how an increasingly complex money laundering ecosystem has taken root in the crypto space. He describes in vivid detail how North Korean cyber thieves, Russian hackers, narcotics traffickers, and other illicit actors have moved billions of dollars' worth of cryptocurrencies through the blockchain, exploiting new technological innovations to profit from their crimes.In response, regulators, private industry, and law enforcement have begun fighting back against bad actors abusing cryptocurrencies - scoring critical victories along the way, but also ignit ing important and sometimes fierce debates about the future of innovation, finance, and the law.
