- Kathryn is sharing about the first case of the US government using blockchain to fight fraud. She is sharing about how they could shut down the silk road and even indicted federal agents in the process.
Based in San Francisco, Kathryn Haun is a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice and is its first-ever coordinator for emerging financial technologies. Since 2006, she has served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, first in the Washington D.C. area and later in San Francisco, California. She has investigated and prosecuted hundreds of violations of federal criminal law in U.S. courts, with a focus on organized crime syndicates, cybercrime, the Dark Net, and fraud. In addition to her role at the Justice Department, she teaches Stanford Law School’s first-ever course on Cybercrime and Digital Currency and is frequently called on by U.S. and international policymakers for her expertise in these areas.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Amazing talk! I hope she kept talking about stuff like this going ahead!
Great talk. Its great to see that those most involved in fighting the mis-use of this technology can see it for the potential it presents for good as well as for evil, and have the smarts to go out and help others understand it aswell.
What an interesting life you have! Fascinating info. Thank you for sharing.
First the little criminals get their hands on new technology, but then the big criminals get their hands on it: the criminals from Washington D.C. Sounds like good work this lady is trying to do, I hope she finds a job with a private company so she can make some actually innovative progress.
No can do. Needs a boob job.
YO Stevo............I will loose the power of Erection permanently if ur wish comes true
awe, is she too smart for ya?
She did. She now runs a 1.5 b venture capital fund.
A great speaker. What a story, with the agents trying to scam the system! Good catch! And way to make the new technology actually work FOR the public! Blockchain holding institutions and individuals accountable are just a wonderful thing. Thanks for the info!
LOL
Awesome video! Thank you!
What a great true story. I was in Washington DC for the NAR event this year, and blockchain caught my attention. So I have been looking for videos that will educate other realtors. I love this story. Thank you.
One of the most interesting talks on blockchain so far!
Agreed. Such a interesting topic yet so many boring vids about it.
This talk NEEDS to be HEARD, by everyone on the internet that will be impacted by blockchain or any other subsequent technology to this one.
Very interesting!
What a talk! Loved every bit
Very interesting case.
Great talk on the positive uses of Blockchains. It' no wonder some governments are afraid of it.
Very interesting women. Thank you. Awesome
Great speech….tq for sharing
TED and Kathryn, thank you for bringing me such a informative speech. I was very depressed by the big down day of the bitcoin's price today. The constant blame of bitcoin for help the criminals to laundering the money and other things let me wonder if I should stick to my believe on this new technology cryptos or not. Your speech answered my doubts!
Amazing Tech-knowledge
Apparently system upgrade approval up the official channels is not that easily forthcoming and officials have to create general public awareness to achieve results.
"...without the blockchain, these guys would still be federal agents today..." yes because that's what people do when they have 25 million on their bank accounts.
Kathryn Haun, I am in love!! Outstanding presentation...beauty, brains, and got game! i was actually looking to point out scripts that are inherently susceptible in their nature to ecploit 3 backdoors in blockchain in the blockchain code. Mention the 'ghost" exploitation and watch everyone go silent. the next statement, "There is no such thing."
They will make a film of that.
12:08 AAAAAAND today ladies and gentleman we have... MONERO to deal with this problem. stay anonymous ;)
how does it works?
Use this blockchain concept along with VeChains (VET) encryption authenticity technology.
What do you know about Silk Road???
Excellent talk... Very educational... And Katherine is fine, too...holla! Lol..
Stumbled on this just now.
Great concept to go forward with.
So, I have always thought that true global distribution of property records will do a lot for humanity.
One thing always destroyed in war is the property titles. Also, records of individuals.
But, with a global block chain, bombing the buildings of opposing countries is more apt to destroy the records of our own country.
But, even those records should not be destroyed.
So, this is hopeful. Countries might not be able to make people disappear as easily. And, governments might not be able to confiscate on the basis of race, color, and creed as easily.
Don't be fooled Federal Govt is working to figure out a way to MANIPULATE Blockchain technology for their Benefit...citizens always keep your eye on GOVT....
As the saying goes; a thief doesn't like to see another their with a long bag.
OMFG...seriously.... Good lady I am looking forward when they catch all your criminal friends.
Use vidt datalink to verify authenticity of documents
Curious concept, criminals are willing to adopt new technology to keep up with their felonies.
Try 1,5 speed & subtitles! : loved it! Refreshing!
At first I was thinking 'statist', but she's done her job even at the expense of trust in the state. Maybe not that bad.
I'm going to buy more =)
hot prosecutor
Wow this is GREAT information . I watched the movie about this ...BUT most amazing is how ATTRACTIVE this woman is :-)
How's it going for the?
Aprender Inglés Learn Spanish
thanks for posting on RUclips!
Ross Ubright?
yall ain't paying these agents enough.
8:06 What the fuck? Is this a normal thing that gets requested to said "exchange"... trying to figure out which market was getting the liquidity at that time period which might honor this request... was it gox? wtf
Banksters lobbyists are everywhere that's incredible.
The US FED should use the blockchain.....!!
"Over 6500 entities issue birth certificates using over 14000 different forms" --- ROTFLMAO!
smart and hot woman
...
US gov out of business soon
stolen bitcoin? ... how is that possible?
Agent stole the shared keys for the ledger
Investing in crypto now is really cool especially with the current rise in the market now.
*Doavercracks team has a lot of experience in bitcoin recovery whîch gives hîm an edge over other hacker out there.*

In Summary he was a Double agent
Note to future: @4:45 At the time of this video, Bitcoin was worth $1190. Todays valuation of Bitcoin = $60k/per. Making DPR's hit worth $1.26Billion. My prediction is $150k/per BTC, 4 years from now. Only time will tell!
An eastern Indian taught them their scripts.
What do you mean?
It is a shame she veered to the blockchain angle instead of silk road, crime, and corruption... She should have given a talk on her expertise which does not seem to include "cryptographic wizardry". Also, she does not seem objective about law enforcement. In criminology, "opportunity theory" is fairly well respected so it is reasonable to think that a class of people who know how to cover their tracks and have the persuasive powers that come with authority (as she points out) could be more inclined to commit a crime than others. (I am assuming when she says that 99.99% of them are hero's that she takes it for granted that non-FBI agents are more likely to be criminals)
If the government convicted these agents for using Bitcoin.... does that mean they do in fact recognize it as a currency ?
Wtf, she calls early adopters of Internet child pornography consumers and scammers? :o
Blockchain is the futur 🙏
Isn't she the hottest attorney-sleuth-techie ever?
Yes, she is.
Drug dealer is USA😁😁
99.9999% heroes... so you basically purified the institution by catching this two guys? Suuure
Block chains are code that were created by a programmer. Someone controls block chains.
Obviously, your ignorance about block chain technology is glaring. Mine was glaring too, before I start reading up on it.
The rotten weapon comparably shiver because advice precisely object aboard a thoughtless freezer. well-made, adaptable banana
Trump needs to hire her to help drain the DC swamp
so she can't show "fake pictures" of green being tortured.... a person who had more than 20 million dollars in digital currency, and the right hand of the tech pirate... oh yeah, those pictures are "fake"
imho ... another lost soul :(
Put Hillary in jail
Looks like that she is listening to something and repeating the words.
Nothing is unhackable in the long term. Thieves will find a way.
She has no clue what a blockchain is. Not once did she use the term Proof of Work.
What kind of argument is that?
A stupid argument. Now, I did get the vibe that she did not know what she was talking about, but I could be wrong. I think it is possible to manipulate the blockchain if you have enough computing power. It is possible the Silk Road has a supercomputer that they used to pin the whole thing on these federal officers.
It would be nice if theory always matched what happened in practice. While in theory it may be "impossible", in practice it is likely just very difficult. I have taken classes in advanced cryptography and there are ALWAYS exploits and hacks.
John Smith
There are exploits like MIM attacks but the encryption itself was not cracked. Everything online is based on the same encryption. Not yet cracked. NSA spied on various contractors and people because they proposed a standard encryption that had loopholes.
Regarding how they got the pirate: basically he logged in on Google and Facebook with the same IP as the webserver and those companies handed the details to FBI. So by mistake.
You cannot ever say that it is not yet cracked for certain. There are numerous ways of doing "partial" cracks with enough computing power. If you take an advanced cryptography class you can learn all about them. Part of computer "security" is presenting the facade that it is mathematically "impossible" to crack. In practice, the only thing that is mathematically impossible is having an actual system that is mathematically impossible to crack. Many things that were claimed to be mathematically impossible to crack have been cracked, including MD5, SHA, and DES, just to name a few. And, of course, there are always social engineering based attacks. You can say it is "impossible" because it is distributed, but it is not impossible, just very difficult.
This woman is horrible!!! Those guys did nothing wrong and she got jealous because they were making a killing and she wanted them to be poor.
She is not the right person to be talking about this. Airhead.
The praise goes to *Doavercracks* on IG for bringing my lîve back up when I taught everything îs gone.
Gee you'd think the Feds would spend as much time and effort solving Seth Rich's Murder.
