“When I get in my car every day to go somewhere, I put my seatbelt on… Same thing with being online. What we need people to do is before they turn that laptop on… make sure you’re safe.”
As scams grow more sophisticated and AI gives fraudsters new tools, crypto platforms are under increasing pressure to protect users and preserve trust. In this episode, we unpack how fraud is evolving across the crypto space, what collaboration looks like between exchanges and law enforcement, and why education is still the strongest defence.
Our guest in this episode is John Kothanek, Vice President for Global Intelligence at Coinbase, who joins host Thomas Taraniuk to discuss how Coinbase investigates scams, protects privacy, and partners with global agencies to take fraudsters off the map.
From pig butchering scams and fraud-as-a-service networks to transparency reports, blockchain analytics, and the power of human investigators, this episode reveals how technology and teamwork are shaping the future of crypto safety.
