TCAE Knowledge Series

💡 What an Eye Opening Session!💡 Can you imagine that we are living in a world that: 💔 Over 104 million files of CSAM, both in images and videos exist on the internet today. 💔 Half a million Filipino children were victimized by CSAM and trafficked in 2022, with the youngest victim being just 3 weeks old. Although some of the facts and information were heart breaking but it was an eye opening session that emphasized on the fact that we need to do better. 👏 Special thanks to our amazing speakers Caleb Carroll and Damon G. for highlighting the importance of combatting CSAM and how the FIs play big part in following the money. 💫 Thanks to all our attendees who took the 1st step in combatting CSAM by joining this knowledge sharing session and educating themselves about this topic Rima Litke, Topaz H., Karene Lewis, Sufiyan Ansari, Michael Marrano, Femi James, Gülay Kangal Duman,Federico B.

Damon G., before joining Chainalysis, served as a 2nd grade Detective with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) for 21 years. Damon was the lead detective for all CSAM / internet traveller cases for over 12 years and a member of the ICAC task force. In this session, our moderator ✔️Jinisha Bhatt along with Caleb and Damon will discuss about CSAM and the role of cryptocurrency in CSAM production, distribution, and payment facilitation and so much more. 💻 Event Detail 🗓 Today ⏰ Time: 12pm-1pm ET 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gDc8sK7P See you at noon! #TCAE #TheKnowledgeSeries #CSAM #HT #Educate #Empower #CryptoCompliance

⚠ Trigger Warning: I appreciate that almost everyone reading this cares about children. I am publishing this disturbing post as I believe it is necessary that those who can manage to should continue to read & join the movement against CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material). 💔The real danger is that many have looked away. 👧👼 In Mar 2019, then 55-year-old 'Mark Marino' emailed a darknet market vendor in response to an ad offering CSAM containing the assault of an 11-year-old girl. 👶🍼Months later, Marino emailed the vendor again to request a video depicting the rape of a child wearing a diaper. 😯The following month, a video of the assault of a 9-year-old was requested. This time, Marino specifically demanded that the child's face remain uncovered as he wanted to see the child's reaction to the assault she was being subjected to. ₿ This 2-minute, 34-second video costed Marino a miserly amount of $172.09 in bitcoin. But Marino wanted more. He repeatedly paid $909.07 in bitcoin to purchase 30-minute videos of a child being raped by an adult. 🎞️👧🏼Thousands of CSAM files and multiple devices were discovered upon the execution of a search warrant by the HSI. Among the files, law enforcement found CSAM produced by Marino himself featuring a 12-year old child known to him. 🧑⚖️Marino was sentenced to 55 years in federal prison & ordered to pay $163,500 to his victims.[1] 🚨 While this is one of 16,463 cases on DOJ's Project Safe Childhood portal, there are 104 million+ files related to CSAM in circulation.[2][3] Of every 100,000 National Center for Missing & Exploited Children reports, only 19,424 in the US, 34,485 in Australia, & 41,063 in the UK are investigated by law enforcement.[4] The numbers in other countries are too abysmal to mention. This means there are likely thousands of girls and boys, many between the ages of 3 & 13 years, waiting for justice.[5] ☀While the details of this case may not entirely shock a generation of CSAM investigators in this echo chamber, I imagine many would welcome the opportunity to learn from the 'baddest' of anti-CSAM's dark horses & my heroes. It is my profound honour to welcome Caleb Carroll & Damon G. to the TCAE forum. With over 50 years of combined experience, they have solved 400+ CSAM & HT cases like this one ⬆. I am ever so thankful to Souzan Esmaili for her partnership. 🤝 Whether you actively manage the transaction/blockchain monitoring side of CSAM, leverage data security to protect your organization, lead covert operations to lure CSAM offenders, or volunteer to conduct OSINT & blockchain investigations, I truly wish to see you on this call this Wed Jul 10, 2024 (12 PM - 1 PM EDT) 🖇 https://lnkd.in/gcePxH4g 🙏Cover image by Canadian Centre for Child Protection Inc. #technology #future #futurism #amlcft #socialmedia #lawenforcement #money #education #data #culture #leadership #ai #financialcrime #usa #europe #canada #australia #brazil #happiness #mentalhealth #bitcoin #cryptocurrency

As a financial crime fighter, one of our important missions is... 🛡️ To protect not only our own family and children but also others With the start of the summer holidays and children out of school, it is essential to be aware of CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) and how as financial crime fighters, we can combat this. ➵ Join us next week at TCAE Knowledge Series Lunch and Learn session where two amazing guest speakers Caleb Carroll, and Damon G., Training Specialists at Chainalysis and ✔️Jinisha Bhatt our lovely moderator will dive deep into this topic. They will discuss CSAM, FIs' responsibilities, and the role of cryptocurrency in CSAM production, distribution, and payment facilitation. Some of the key questions that they will also address are: 🎯 How can FIs navigate evolving regulations and effectively monitor for CSAM? 🎯 What is the total value of suspected CSAM transactions using fiat and cryptocurrency? 🎯 What are the challenges and strategies for investigating CSAM and HT in both traditional and decentralized financial systems? 🎯 What are the hurdles of global technology use in combating these crimes? 🎯 What are the challenges and strategies for investigating CSAM and HT Join us on: 🗓 Wed July 10th 2024 ⏰ Time: 12pm-1pm ET 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gDc8sK7P Do you know which cryptocurrency is used to facilitate the majority of CSAM-related transactions? #TCAE #TheKnowledgeSeries #CSAM #HT #Educate #Empower #CryptoCompliance

“Named must your fear be before banish it you can.” - Yoda I've always hated speaking in front of people and the sound of my voice... whelp time to get over it 😂 A couple weeks ago I got to do a Lunch and Learn about AI Washing for TCAE and Souzan Esmaili. Really fun group of people with great questions. Here is a clip in response to the question: "How a non technical compliance professional can know/ask/do the right things in choosing an AI claiming solution/vendor?" ***** If you're looking for an community that is compliance/risk focused and centered around knowledge sharing and good people, then take a look at TCAE. We at Minerva are big fans and supporters. Damian Tran - sorry in advance for volunteering your brain 🧠 😁

From our TCAE team & family to yours Happy Canada Day! We wish you a happy and joyous day! #TCAE #Canada
