Who is the Block Audit LLC

While working together as fraud detectives, Jesse and Alex observed first hand the emergence and proliferation of cryptocurrencies becoming the preferred method to realize stolen proceeds. As many other local law enforcement detectives have faced, they were burdened by increasing case load and a lack of understanding, training opportunities, and institutional support to take on this emerging trend. Eventually, the frustration and despair of turning away  victims who had lost everything became overwhelming. In 2019 Jesse and Alex began researching crypto investigation techniques  and learning all they could. This organically developed into a deeper understanding of the underlying technology, and an appreciation for the legal and administrative obstacles in investigating such crimes.

​

The Block Audit LLC was born from a desire  to share the hard earned knowledge and experience developed over the past years with other investigators who find themselves facing the same hardships. The Block Audit LLC seeks to expedite the learning curve and get local investigators up to speed on the investigation of crypto crimes and recovery of victim's assets. We are here to provide a framework for success whether that be through the use of our free guides and training, or through contracted partnerships.
