Prosecutor Erin West Targets the Fraud Economy's Supply Chain

Original: The Fraud Economy Has a Supply Chain, and Erin West Is Going After It

Santa Cruz County deputy district attorney Erin West is leading efforts to disrupt the organised networks behind online fraud and crypto scams. Rather than chasing individual scammers, her approach targets the wider supply chain of the fraud economy — the money launderers, facilitators and infrastructure that enable industrial-scale scams. The story highlights how law enforcement is shifting focus from lone perpetrators to the system that sustains cybercrime profits.

Why now: Growing public and law enforcement concern over industrial-scale online fraud and crypto scams has put new strategies for attacking the fraud economy in the spotlight.
