Virtual Currency Unit
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez has launched what’s believed to be one of the first standalone county Virtual Currency Units in the United States.
“As we’ve observed a surge in cryptocurrency-related crimes, it is imperative that we remain vigilant in safeguarding our community’s financial interests, especially those of the most Vulnerable,” Gonzalez wrote. “Cryptocurrency’s relevance spans a wide spectrum of cases, from narcotics and human trafficking to contraband purchases.”
