Doj founds National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET)
- The Doj has increased its aggressiveness in combating crime in connection with cryptocurrencies and now founded the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET).
- The new ladder is Eun Young Choi-a former deputy US lawyer with experience in criminal investigations, crypto and blockchain technology.
In its recent efforts to contain crime in connection with cryptocurrencies, the US Justice Ministry (doj) did this which it calls the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (ncet). The new law enforcement team has the task of examining illegal cryptosystems carried out by cybercriminals. The department will also deal with crypto crimes, which are orchestrated by nation states such as North Korea and Iran. The former was associated with a number of illegal activities related to digital currencies. These include several cases of theft of crypto assets in which stolen assets were used to finance the rocket program.
According to the Attorney General Lisa Monaco, the NCET becomes a contact point for the identification of the abuse of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. Some of its areas of interest comprise crypto exchanges, mixers and tumblers. She emphasized that the industry had to act credibly and regulated, especially since it quickly gains in importance.

At that time, the DOJ was looking for an NCET leader with a background in criminal investigations as well as cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. The DOJ has now announced that this post is filled by Eun Young Choi-the first NCET director. According to DOJ, the rest of the team "consists of lawyers from the entire department, including prosecutors with background knowledge in cryptocurrency, cybercrime, money laundering and forfeiture".
