Ryan Korner, senior agent at the IRS Los Angeles Criminal Investigation Office, told reporters that the IRS cybercrime department has accumulated a lot of expertise in “finding funds transferers and where they go” because “we have tools that are six months or a year ago. No."

This work is part of the IRS's fight against tax evasion related to cryptocurrencies, as digital currencies have become more popular. As technology advances, the agency has been striving to enforce tax laws and keep pace with criminals in recent years.

The IRS is currently preparing for a new cryptocurrency audit. The agency sent more than 10,000 letters earlier this year warning them that they might be punished for avoiding taxes on their virtual investments.

Korner also said that the US Internal Revenue Service and its partners are using data from previous law enforcement activities to find new criminals. By accessing data from five countries, they can gain a broader understanding of the links between accounts, money, and people.
