The Criminal Division and National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team have created the DAC Network to continue to protect the department and its prosecutors from the ever-evolving criminal use of digital asset technology.
In October 2017, the DOJ established the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team "to handle complex investigations and prosecutions regarding criminal misuses and abuses of cryptocurrency, especially crimes committed via virtual currency exchanges, mixing & tumbling services and money laundering infrastructure actors."
The DAC Network members will learn how to apply existing laws and authorities to digital assets, as well as best practices for investigating crimes related to digital assets.
The DAC Network will be a resource for information and discussion on new digital asset issues such as smart contracts, defi, token-based platforms and their use in criminal activities.
The Justice Department also noted that the DAC Network would "raise awareness about the unique international considerations surrounding the crypto ecosystem, including benefits of leveraging foreign relations and the challenges of cross border digital asset investigations,"
