Additional Information

My opinions are built on an academically rigorous foundation, leveraging my university-level teaching experience and peer-reviewed forensic methodologies. This is combined with 25 years of law enforcement and financial crime investigation experience. I am accustomed to communicating complex information to a non-technical audience. I apply insights from 25 years in as a former law enforcement detective - as a former supervisor of law enforcement cybercrime detectives, my team's focus included global cryptocurrency fraud investigations, asset recovery through cryptocurrency tracing, and dismantling large-scale investment scams. I have produced expert reports for matters in the UK, USA, Hong Kong, and Australia, all built to withstand the scrutiny of deposition and trial, a process I have navigated as a witness for 22 years.
