November Chamber Luncheon

Description

Hear from Joe Ciccolo, Founder and President of BitAML and Executive Director of California Blockchain Advocacy Coalition (CBAC). Financial scams have evolved into a sophisticated, industrial-scale enterprise fueled by transnational organized crime, emerging technologies, and increasingly complex methods for moving and laundering illicit funds. Joe will examine the growing scale and sophistication of these criminal networks, why cryptocurrency has become part of the modern scam ecosystem, and how industry, law enforcement, and policymakers are responding.

He will also discuss why building local expertise in digital assets and financial crime, including through the region's new crime lab and law enforcement training center, is critical to protecting victims, tracing illicit funds, and equipping investigators to combat the next generation of financial scams.

Placer County District Attorney’s Office established PROTECT, a multidisciplinary team dedicated to preventing and supporting elder victims of crime. Cassidy Paganucci is an Investigative Assistant who coordinates PROTECT by collaborating with law enforcement agencies, county resources, and nonprofits to help keep older adults safe. With a heart for advocacy, she helps empower victims & survivors through the criminal justice system. Through community outreach and by managing a Fraud Hotline, Cassidy provides vital resources, educational seminars, and Shop Safe initiatives to help people recognize signs of elder mistreatment. Cassidy hopes to help our community work together to keep Placer County the best place to live, work, shop & retire
