The fight against illicit crypto finance has just gotten interesting. Christopher Wong, a former FBI agent known for working on high-profile crypto cases, joined hands with TRM Labs to bolster the safety and security of the landscape.
Before this onboarding, Wong co-led the 2016 Bitfinex hack, which resulted in one of the largest cryptocurrency seizures in US history. He even played a crucial role in cases such as Axie Infinity and the Ronin Bridge, among many others.
Wong’s Involvement
Therefore, Wong’s involvement in these high-profile cases makes him the ideal person to select for security upgrades. Global Policy lead of TRM, Ari Redbord, stated, “Chris is not only one of the most talented and respected investigators in the world, he’s also an inspiring colleague who makes everyone around him better.
Wong was even part of the team that tracked down a North Korean IT worker offering laundering services on the internet. His hard work has shed light on how scammers use tools to remain anonymous and sustain their work under the radar.
Therefore, Wong is now joining TRM Labs as one of the global investigators aiming to disrupt criminal crypto activity.
