FBI sets up crypto unit
The FBI is setting up a cryptocurrency-focussed unit that will work closely with another new team at the Justice Department – National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET), according to Finextra.
The NCET will work on the department’s cases involving the criminal use of digital assets, with a particular focus on virtual currency exchanges, mixing and tumbling services, infrastructure providers, and other entities that are enabling the misuse of cryptocurrency and related technologies used in crimes.
News of the crypto teams comes shortly after the DoJ’s biggest ever crypto-related bust, when it arrested two people and seized $3.6 billion worth of bitcoin in relation to the 2016 hack of the Bitfinex exchange.
