Crypto Forensics Expert: The Hunt for Stolen Coins | Let's Talk About Tech #69

In this episode of Let's Talk About Tech, host Berthold Baurek-Karlic sits down with Albert Quehenberger, founder of AQ Forensics and Austria's first certified cryptocurrency forensic investigator, to explore the world of crypto forensics, from tracing stolen Bitcoin and unmasking scams to freezing criminal funds across a global network. They discuss how Albert went from two decades in the Austrian Armed Forces and intelligence to losing six Bitcoin and building a forensics practice, why "privacy coins" leave more traces than people think, and how investment, romance, and Ponzi scams actually unfold on-chain. Quehenberger also breaks down the Global Crypto Defenders Alliance, what DAC8 and CARF mean for money-mule networks, and shares his perspective on why even the largest institutions — as the Bybit hack showed — can never be fully safe.   Guest Speaker: Albert Quehenberger ➡️ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/albert-quehenberger-6791a3174/ AQ Forensics: https://www.aq-forensics.com   Moderator: Berthold Baurek-Karlic ➡️ https://www.baurek-karlic.at Venionaire Capital: 🌐 Website: https://www.venionaire.com 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/venionaire/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/venionaire/
