Cryptocurrency-enabled crime is a trillion-dollar global problem.

Cryptocurrency-enabled crime is a trillion-dollar global problem. It spans:

1. Money laundering ($2-5 Trillion)
2. Tax evasion ($50-200 Billion)
3. Fraud & scams ($15-30 Billion)
4. Drug trafficking ($20-50 Billion)
5. Crypto hacks & theft ($2-10 Billion)
6. Darknet markets ($2-5 Billion)

This is not surprising considering the massive size of the crypto market. In 2025, the volume of just two crypto stablecoins (USDT + USDC) was $33 Trillion. That's more than the annual GDP of the US and 8x India's GDP!

c4 AI

ChatGPT provides the interface. c4 provides the investigative structure.

Cryptocurrency cases can involve wallet addresses, transaction hashes, screenshots, chats, websites, apps, bank records, audio recordings and victim statements.

The challenge is rarely a lack of data. It is organizing that data into a defensible investigation. Instead of treating every upload as an unrelated task, c4 Investigator helps the user build and update a structured case as new evidence arrives.
