The Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Taiwan faced a modern challenge: tracking illicit financial activity hidden within the anonymity of cryptocurrency. With money laundering operations becoming more sophisticated, traditional investigative tools were no longer enough.
Gorilla Technology partnered with the CIB to deploy a powerful big data analytics solution. By integrating data from global crypto exchanges and applying advanced network and timeline analysis, the CIB built a robust system to identify, monitor, and dismantle suspected money laundering operations.

The Challenge
01
Anonymity in the Age of Crypto
Cryptocurrency’s decentralized nature makes it a prime tool for criminals seeking to obscure financial trails. The CIB needed a way to pierce that anonymity and enforce financial regulations.
02
A Growing Threat to Financial Security
With the rise of transnational crypto exchanges and peer-to-peer transactions, the risk of undetected laundering increased. The CIB required a scalable, data-driven solution to stay ahead of evolving tactics.
