In this episode, Michael Sachs talks to Kieran Beer about the cutting-edge work that the Manhattan District Attorney's office is doing to take down cybercrime. From scams involving Michael Jordan sneakers and black market Xanax, to a crypto-armed robbery, Sachs has seen it all. They discuss the ambiguities of this new world, including ongoing tensions between law enforcement and tech companies around device encryption and due diligence (or otherwise) being undertaken by innovative exchange channels like bitcoin ATMs.
