IRS Sends Experts Next Month Around the World To Combat Cybercrime With a Focus on Crypto The US Internal Revenue Service will deploy experts next month to four continents to combat cybercrime, with a particular focus on tax and financial crimes that use cryptocurrency.
That is part of a pilot program the IRS announced last week where “cyber attachés” will be sent to Sydney, Bogota, Frankfurt and Singapore from June to September.
"In order to effectively combat cybercrime, we need to ensure that our foreign counterparts have access to the same tools and expertise we have here in the United States," said IRS Criminal Investigation Chief Jim Lee in a statement.
David Strager, who will go to Sydney, has overseen criminal investigations regarding crypto tax evasion, money laundering and international fraud, according to the IRS.
