Financial Crimes Intelligence

Follow the Money.Wherever It Goes.

Financial crimes investigation has changed. Drug proceeds move through banks, convert to cryptocurrency, traverse multiple blockchains, and exit through foreign exchanges within hours. Fraud schemes operate globally from day one.

Argus provides the investigative platform that follows money across both worlds: integrating blockchain analysis with traditional financial investigation.

The New Landscape

When Money Moves Through Both Worlds

The distinction between traditional financial crime and cryptocurrency crime has collapsed. Today's investigations routinely span both domains.

Fraud Schemes Start Digital, End Traditional

Romance scams extract cryptocurrency, convert through exchanges, and enter traditional banking. Reported losses reached $5.8 billion in 2024.

Traditional Crime Adopted Crypto

Drug trafficking, human trafficking, and organized crime now rely on cryptocurrency for payments and layering. Ransomware flows through crypto by default.

Laundering Spans Both Ecosystems

Professional money laundering networks exploit both systems. Funds enter banking, convert to crypto, traverse chains, and exit through foreign exchanges.

Tools built for traditional investigation do not trace crypto. Blockchain tools do not integrate with bank records. Argus bridges both worlds.

Investigations must follow money across both ecosystems.

Blockchain Investigation

Cryptocurrency Tracing Without Losing the Case Context

Crypto evidence is only valuable when it stays connected to your broader investigation. Argus integrates blockchain intelligence with case files, identities, and traditional records.

Multi-Chain Transaction Tracing

Funds move Bitcoin to Ethereum to stablecoins through cross-chain bridges. Argus keeps investigative continuity across chains.

Wallet Attribution

Addresses are pseudonymous, not anonymous. Entity profiles link wallet activity to real-world identities and subjects.

Pattern Recognition

Laundering patterns reveal clustering, timing, and intermediary behavior. AI-assisted detection flags suspicious sequences.

Mixer and Privacy Analysis

Mixers attempt to break transaction trails. Argus supports investigation of obfuscated funds with traceable markers.

Exchange Intelligence

Convert crypto to fiat with exchange records. Argus correlates exchange relationships with traditional evidence.

Traditional Investigation

Financial Records Still Matter

Crypto is part of the trail, not the whole trail. Investigators still need bank records, corporate structures, and asset discovery to build a complete case.

Bank Record Analysis

Subpoenaed records become actionable with transaction pattern analysis, flow visualization, and institution-level summaries.

Corporate Structure Mapping

Shell companies obscure beneficial ownership. Argus maps ownership chains and entity webs.

Payment Method Integration

Wire, ACH, checks, prepaid cards, and cash. Argus correlates every payment method in one timeline.

Real Estate and Asset Investigation

Property records, corporate filings, and liens reveal hidden proceeds and forfeiture targets.

Unified Environment

One Platform. Both Worlds. Complete Intelligence.

Investigators should not have to toggle between tools. Argus unifies crypto analytics, financial records, and evidence workflows into a single environment.

Unified Entity Profiles

Wallets, bank accounts, and corporate roles converge into one subject profile.

Cross-Domain Timeline

Crypto purchases correlate with bank withdrawals and cash structuring events.

Evidence Integration

Case files unify blockchain artifacts and subpoenaed documents with chain-of-custody tracking.

Intelligence Correlation

Financial patterns align with communications, travel, surveillance, and operational intelligence.
