Virtual Currency Emerging Threats Working Group

Overview
The Virtual Currency Emerging Threats Working Group (VCET) was founded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in early 2012 to mitigate the cross-programmatic threats arising from illicit actors' use of virtual currency systems. The group leverages the collective subject matter expertise of its members to address issues arising from illicit actors' use of virtual currency, and deconflicts and shares information and concerns. VCET members represent an array of U.S. Government agencies, including, within the Department [of Justice, the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, multiple U.S. Attorney's Offices, and the Criminal Division's Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section and Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.
