This webinar in the Shamrock Crypto Series will cover stablecoins, specifically USDT (Tether) and USDC. The various types of stablecoins, such as algorithmic and fiat-collateralized, will be covered in-depth. Attendees will learn how stablecoins interact on the various blockchains, such as Ethereum, Polygon, TON, and Tron. With stablecoins becoming a preferred alternative to the traditionally volatile cryptocurrencies, attendees of this webinar will walk away with a better understanding of how stablecoins function, investigatory avenues, and effective methods for the seizing of stablecoins involved in illicit activity.

This course provides training on digital forensics for video, specifically targeting common file formats rather than proprietary video encodings or delivery methods. It aims to prepare investigators to answer critical questions about the file and ensure key evidence is not overlooked. This training is designed to support investigations by providing the necessary expertise to handle the complexities of video evidence in the digital age, addressing possible pitfalls including deepfakes, manipulated video, and potential overlooked evidence.

Key concepts covered in this course include:
Digital video file creation
Tool and result verification
Metadata and parsing
Image classification
Hash value comparison
Image/video classification and reporting results

This course introduces analysts to the broader concepts of connecting the dots through link analysis. A critical portion of conducting a successful analytical investigation is the ability to link together and understand the complexities of the connectedness between people and organizations. Introduction to Link Analysis (ILA) expands on the basic principles of link and association analyses explored in the Foundations of Intelligence Analysis Training (FIAT) while building a framework for more advanced methods such as social network analysis.

Expanding basic knowledge of link and association analysis
Explaining the process of social network analysis
Understanding the visual mapping and mathematical components associated with link and social network analyses

This course addresses the critical need for well-trained intelligence analysts to interpret growing amounts of information. Topics include the intelligence cycle, analytical thinking skills, the importance of strategic analysis, communication and social media analysis, recommendation development, and legal and ethical issues. Students work hands-on with specialized software to synthesize information and develop various products of intelligence. The course was developed by a consortium that included NW3C, Law Enforcement Intelligence Units (LEIU), the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysis (IALEIA), and the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS).

*Analysis basics. History and purpose of intelligence analysis. Legal issues and ethics. Sources of information. The intelligence cycle.

*Creative and critical thinking. Brainstorming. Mind mapping. Steps to critical thinking.
*Deterring crime. Strategic analysis as a tool for law enforcement personnel.
*Hands-on experience. Work as part of a team to analyze information pertaining to several hypothetical cases.

Over the next year, a team of local and state experts will be providing you with all the basics to get you and your team started with building a cryptocurrency program. We will discuss why you need to know about crypto and how current scams use it. We'll give you the basics including how it works, how to seize it, how to store it, and how to return it to victims. We will talk about how to engage with exchanges and how to read their returns. We'll provide you with best practice information and sample warrants. At the end of this year, you'll have the education, the samples, and the community to move forward with your cryptocurrency practice.
