Pig Butchering And Crypto Crime-fighting With Erin West
This week on Hacker And The Fed we speak with Erin West, a Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney, Founder of the “Crypto Coalition”, an over 800-member group of active law enforcement partners sharing cryptocurrency crime-fighting techniques, and the very tip of the spear for Pig Butchering – the latest online romance scam. We learn about the incredible work Erin is doing via Operation Shamrock and how we can protect ourselves and our loved ones from being victimized.
