“We are pleased to be helping members of law enforcement, financial investigators and educational institutions learn about cryptocurrencies. Through our Certified Cryptocurrency Investigator course (“CCI”), we show participants how to track cryptocurrencies, as well as related investigation techniques specific to the crypto market. CCI was originally designed for US law enforcement across 48 states, and is applicable as accredited hours towards yearly educational improvement. In 2019, we adapted the CCI course content to enhance its usefulness for compliance officers. The response to the CCI designation has been excellent. It also provides tremendous exposure for our other products, QLUE and BitRank,” said Lance Morginn, president of Blockchain Intelligence Group.
