Ari brings a unique perspective to the conversation. Before joining TRM Labs, he spent over a decade as a U.S. federal prosecutor working on terrorism finance, national security, sanctions, and financial crime cases, before moving to the U.S. Treasury and later into crypto. We discuss why illicit crypto activity reached record highs in 2025, why that headline does not tell the full story, how Russia, Iran, North Korea and organized criminal networks are using crypto infrastructure, and why Ari believes blockchains are also one of the most powerful tools ever created for investigators.

If you want a serious conversation about where crypto is heading, what threats are real, and how the industry matures from here, this is one to watch. Topics covered: Why Ari says there is no such thing as “crypto crime” Why illicit activity hit a record in 2025 Russian-linked sanctions evasion and stablecoin usage Why bad actors still use public blockchains Privacy tokens, mixers, and the balance between privacy and compliance Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, Bitfinex, and major crypto crime investigations The rise of wrench attacks and physical threats against holders Why scam and recovery fraud are devastating victims How AI is accelerating cybercrime at scale Why blockchains may help so…","meta_description":"In this episode we sit down with Ari Redbord, Global Head of Policy at TRM Labs, to unpack one of the most important and misunderstood topics in digital a…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3362,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-allincrypto-podcast-6054281/episodes/the-dark-side-of-crypto/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-allincrypto-podcast-6054281/the-dark-side-of-crypto.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
