Kevin Feldis was quoted in the Cointelegraph* article, "How Will DOJ’s New Crypto Enforcement Team Change the Game for Industry Players, Good and Bad?" regarding the U.S. Department of Justice’s focus on ramping up criminal investigations.

In a conversation with Cointelegraph, Kevin Feldis, partner at law firm Perkins Coie, called both MLARS and CCIPS “very respected components of the Department of Justice,” whose members are “well versed in handling cross border investigations and coordinating with law enforcement around the globe.”

Kevin believes that DOJ’s focus on ramping up criminal investigations and building capacity to recover illicit crypto proceeds will also likely mean more government scrutiny throughout the industry. Kevin added: “The legal and regulatory landscape is still evolving, and investing in compliance and being a good crypto corporate citizen will likely serve industry players well in the face of this increased government enforcement focus by the DOJ, SEC and others.”
