Sample interview questions
How would you investigate a potentially suspicious cryptocurrency transaction pattern?

I would first establish the customer and transaction context, then trace relevant on-chain flows using blockchain analytics tools. I would assess typologies, exposure to high-risk services or addresses, transaction behavior, and available off-chain evidence, document the rationale, and escalate or file reports according to applicable policy and regulatory requirements.

What indicators could suggest money laundering activity on a blockchain?

Potential indicators include rapid layering across wallets or assets, use of mixers or privacy-enhancing services, links to sanctioned or illicit addresses, structuring, unusual cross-chain movements, activity inconsistent with the customer profile, and cash-out patterns through high-risk exchanges or services. Indicators must be assessed collectively rather than in isolation.

How do you ensure an investigation report is useful to both technical and non-technical stakeholders?

I use a clear structure: allegation or alert basis, scope, methodology, evidence, transaction chronology, risk assessment, conclusion, and recommended action. I explain technical blockchain concepts in plain language while retaining wallet identifiers, transaction hashes, and tool outputs in supporting evidence.

Describe how you would identify and address a transaction-monitoring process gap.

I would analyze alert outcomes, quality-review findings, missed typologies, investigator feedback, and data coverage to define the gap and its risk impact. I would then recommend a practical control change, such as rule tuning, enhanced data enrichment, a revised procedure, or targeted training, and monitor results after implementation.

How do you stay current with cryptocurrency financial-crime risks and regulations?

I follow regulatory publications, enforcement actions, industry intelligence, and updates from blockchain analytics providers. I also review emerging typologies with peers, participate in relevant training, and translate material developments into investigation guidance or monitoring improvements when appropriate.
