The invitation-only gathering, formerly known as the Virtual Currency Symposium, took place in September in San Antonio, Texas. Attendees included officials from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), overseas investigators, and firms like Chainalysis and TRM Labs. Discussions covered illicit uses of virtual assets by cartels, in terrorist financing, cyber fraud, scams, and emerging hacks, including North Korean activity. The event aims to foster intelligence exchange and collaboration between industry and law enforcement, reflecting the growing reliance of authorities on crypto companies to trace illicit funds.
