US Secret Service in Reddit AMA
In a recent Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), representatives from the US Secret Service’s San Francisco Field Office and the Bay Area’s Regional Enforcement Allied Computer Team (REACT) navigated an array of questions on cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and blockchain technology from the r/cryptocurrency subreddit community.

The AMA featured a wide range of questions posed by the subreddit, r/cryptocurrency, members. They asked thought-provoking inquiries such as “how best to hide shady behavior on the blockchain,” probing the officers' expertise on how blockchain transactions can be obscured. They also inquired whether the Secret Service itself held any form of cryptocurrency, sparking interest in the organization's potential involvement in the digital assets space.
Contrary to regulators who view crypto as a fraud enabler, the REACT task force praised blockchain's transparency as an “amazing opportunity” for tracking money flow and fighting crime.
In a lighter moment, when asked about launching a ‘memecoin,' the Secret Service humorously revealed they have an NFT collection on OpenSea, sidestepping the question with a fun fact instead.
