In this episode of “Financial Crime Matters,” Kieran Beer talks with Grant Rabenn, director, Financial Crimes Legal at Coinbase. Rabenn, a former federal prosecutor who handled some of the Department of Justice’s earliest crypto cases, discusses the promise of blockchain offerings, while acknowledging the industry’s need to work with regulators to stem their use in financial crime and money laundering.
During their conversation, Rabenn also touches on some of the typologies for the illicit use of cryptocurrency that Coinbase encounters and the value of using a variety of blockchain forensics providers to trace crypto transactions.
