CPO @ ChainComply - Decision Layer for Crypto-related EDD

Recently, someone asked me a bit too direct a question: “How would you describe your day-to-day work?” And it made me realise that we never show it. We usually describe crypto-related Enhanced Due Diligence with words like: Source of Wealth, client's universe of transaction analysis, KYT investigation. All true, but not very visual. So, not very revealing, maybe even barren. Meanwhile, a picture may be worth a thousand words. And we do spend most of our days staring at pictures, graphs and visuals.. that all tell stories. So I decided to share a short series, "Once you see it, you can’t unsee it" - pictures from our daily reality of working with private and retail banks on EDD cases. A few pictures that show what crypto EDD really looks like behind the scenes - and why it is much more fascinating AND important than most people imagine. We will start with something simple - a picture of a crypto journey of our CEO, Pavlina Pavlova. The white dots you see are bank transfers from Binance and Coinbase. This is what banks' transaction monitoring systems see: Binance → €150,000 → Bank account After Enhanced Due Diligence : 2019: €70,000 fiat → Coinbase → BTC → Binance → ETH; ETH → DeFi → Binance → Polkadot; ETH → Binance → €150k She did interact with a SCAM wallet - the red dot - but as a victim, so we can clear the flag. A clean case -> ACCEPT!
