Cryptocurrency Workshop

While cryptocurrency has been around since 2009, community banks are continuing to be affected by this $4.0 trillion market activity. It is essential for community banks, no matter the size, to understand the crypto economy, the illicit typologies, and have open-source tools in hand to investigate when needed. This class will be taught from a real-life investigator perspective as well as some real-life banker input.
