À propos de cet audio

 From the award-winning author of Sandworm comes the propulsive story of a new breed of investigators who have cracked the Bitcoin blockchain, exposing once-anonymous realms of money, drugs, and violence. “I love the book… It reads like a thriller… These stories are amazing.” (Michael Lewis)

Over the last decade, a single innovation has massively fueled digital black markets: cryptocurrency. Crime lords inhabiting lawless corners of the internet have operated more freely—whether in drug dealing, money laundering, or human trafficking—than their analog counterparts could have ever dreamed of. By transacting not in dollars or pounds but in currencies with anonymous ledgers, overseen by no government, beholden to no bankers, these black marketeers have sought to rob law enforcement of their chief method of cracking down on illicit finance: following the money.

But what if the centerpiece of this dark economy held a secret, fatal flaw? What if their currency wasn’t so cryptic after all? An investigator using the right mixture of technical wizardry, financial forensics, and old-fashioned persistence could uncover an entire world of wrongdoing.

Tracers in the Dark is a story of crime and pursuit unlike any other. With unprecedented access to the major players in federal law enforcement and private industry, veteran cybersecurity reporter Andy Greenberg tells an astonishing saga of criminal empires built and destroyed. He introduces an IRS agent with a defiant streak, a Bitcoin-tracing Danish entrepreneur, and a colorful ensemble of hardboiled agents and prosecutors as they delve deep into the crypto-underworld. The result is a thrilling, globe-spanning story of dirty cops, drug bazaars, trafficking rings, and the biggest takedown of an online narcotics market in the history of the Internet.

Utterly of our time, Tracers in the Dark is a cat-and-mouse story and a tale of a technological one-upmanship. Filled with canny maneuvering and shocking twists, it answers a provocative question: How would some of the world’s most brazen criminals behave if they were sure they could never get caught?

Greenberg takes you through investigations that brought down some of the biggest and most notorious dark web marketplaces and bad actors in fascinating detail. The detail is not too technical but at the same time good enough to understand how they cracked problems using sophisticated tools. A lot of details that I don’t remember reading anywhere publicly, and proves how a blockchain makes things way more transparent than a traditional financial system.

Andy has done it again - just like Sandworm this is an unbelievably captivating journey. The book is a deep dive through the dark side of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and the dark web and is very well written. Highly recommend.

Excellent insight and understanding into cyber and the dark web. Wow. Kind of wish I didn’t know what I now know.

I admit, I grabbed this because it was on sale and just needed something to fill time with before my next credit became available, but I ended up really loving it by the end. I'd already heard of some of the tales told in this book such as The Silk Road and AlphaBay, but this portrays them from the law enforcement perspective, going into great detail about how the often slow wheels of law enforcement got up to speed on modern technologies very quickly and used very interesting techniques to catch their targets. It was a new way to hear about these things that I always found fascinating, and it talks about another large case I hadn't heard of before now.

It also goes into detail about how despite what many crypto bros continue to insist to this day, that Bitcoin is NOT private, nor anonymous. The way in which it's been deanonymized is a subject of hot debate and while the book is more on the law enforcement side, I think it does a good job of presenting both ends of the argument, leaving the reader to decide for themselves.

It's not as low effort and often tasteless as traditional True Crime is and despite it ultimately being technological crimes that it's talking about, it keeps things streamlined enough for non-techie people to understand, while also not dumbing it down so much that technies like myself will find it patronizing. A good listen.

I was hooked when I read the excerpts in Wired, and found it just as thrilling when I read the book with all the pieces of the puzzle put together. I can’t even image the research and thinking that went into this.

Satisfying
