This sprint is designed for investigators, prosecutors, and partners committed to disrupting CSAM, regardless of prior cryptocurrency experience. No technical background is required - only a willingness to collaborate, learn, and apply the work to real cases. There are no associated costs with this opportunity other than necessary travel.
This sprint is designed to be hands-on, collaborative, and immediately applicable to active investigations.
Over two days, participants will:
• Examine how cryptocurrency is used to facilitate CSAM distribution, monetization, and access.
• Trace transactions, identify typologies, and build clear money-flow narratives tied to real-world actors.
• Convert investigative findings into affidavit-ready language and prosecutorial documentation.
• Work directly with peers, TRM coaches, prosecutors, and industry partners to resolve investigative roadblocks in real time.
• Leave with practical workflows, investigative leads, and materials that can be used immediately in ongoing cases.
TRM Labs will provide the tools, structure, and expert support needed to maximize investigative outcomes.
Participants will receive:
• Access to TRM’s blockchain intelligence platform for hands-on exercises.
• Guided instruction and coaching from experienced CSAM investigators and financial crime specialists.
• Real intelligence and workflows aligned to current CSAM typologies.
• Templates and examples for affidavits, case narratives, and evidentiary documentation.
• A secure, collaborative environment designed for sensitive investigations.
• A working lunch (Pizza, sandwiches, etc.)
