That’s a wrap on DIC Vienna 🇦🇹 Yesterday Leeor Ben-Peretz was at the Digital Investigations Conference with our partner Arina. He spent the day at our booth and presented in the main hall on what investigators can do when a crypto case stalls at a wallet with no history. Thank you to the Arina team for a great event, and to everyone who stopped by to talk through their cases. See you at the next one.

Tomorrow we’re in Vienna for DIC, the Digital Investigations Conference by our partner Arina. Leeor Ben-Peretz, our Chief Strategy Officer, is presenting at 13:40 in the main hall. His session covers the point where most crypto cases stall, a wallet with no history, and what investigators can do from there, including a walkthrough of a real case. He’ll also be at our booth all day. If you’re coming, stop by and say hi.

F3's Cryptocurrency Investigation Day, hosted by @TheFCA in London on Thursday 29 October. Dan Embury is running the Spectra Capture the Flag. Bring a laptop, work a simulated case and find the operator behind the wallet. Free, but places are limited.

When the blockchain trail goes cold, the case shouldn't. That was the focus of Leeor talk at @INTERPOL_HQ's 5th New Technologies Forum in Vienna. Our Chief Strategy Officer looked at what investigators can do once on-chain tracing reaches a wallet with no history. Thank you to INTERPOL's Cyberspace and New Technologies Laboratory for having us.

Most crypto investigations stop at a wallet with no history. On 15 October in Vienna, we're talking about what comes after that point, at the Digital Investigations Conference with our partner Arina. A full day of digital forensics, OSINT and investigation sessions. Ours is on connecting on-chain activity to real-world entities. See you in Vienna.

22 Sept is worth clearing if you work crypto cases. Digital Experience, Arnhem. Six sessions on crypto tracing alone, plus OSINT and forensics. All in English. See you there!

$15B in bitcoin seized. The largest forfeiture in US history. The man it was taken from is still at large. In pig butchering cases the tracing works. You get within a few hops of the operator's wallet, then it stops. Finding the money was never the hard part. Learn more ↓

The most effective Tornado Cash user isn't the most sophisticated. It's the most patient. Deposit. Wait weeks. Withdraw into a fresh wallet. Route it onward. No transaction link. No timing correlation that survives cross-examination. No funding wallet. Better analytics doesn't fix that. The limit is the protocol. Untraceable at the protocol. Still visible above it. ↓ Full playbook below.

Tornado Cash isn't under US sanctions anymore. It's still where the biggest laundering cases go dark. About a quarter of the Bybit hack funds stayed untraceable through mixers. That isn't a tooling gap, it's the protocol. New playbook: working Tornado Cash cases in 2026 ↓
