Stout Managing Director Jason Wright joined the podcast “How Not to Suck at Divorce” to discuss how cryptocurrency can factor into divorce matters, including when one spouse may be attempting to hide assets in digital form. 

In the episode, he explains why cryptocurrency is often more traceable than many assume and how forensic experts can help identify red flags and follow the movement of funds.

Key Takeaways

• Cryptocurrency is not always as anonymous or untraceable as many people believe
• Blockchain activity can often provide a digital trail that forensic experts can analyze
• Unusual transfers and unexplained withdrawals may be indicators of cryptocurrency activity
• Crypto exchanges, wallets, private keys, and subpoenas can all play a role in an investigation
• Individuals do not need to become crypto experts themselves but should work with legal counsel and qualified financial professionals to determine whether further investigation is appropriate
