Crypto Crime Is Scaling Faster Than Justice—Stingforce Is the Counteroffensive

Despite billions in stolen crypto and an explosion in cross-border cyber fraud, law enforcement around the world is failing to resolve the overwhelming majority of cases. Whether due to outdated protocols, jurisdictional gridlock, or lack of technical capacity, the system is broken—and criminals know it.

Stingforce is not a think tank or a conference series. It is a transnational crime-fighting engine: a public-private operational consortium built to dismantle the infrastructure of organized financial crime in real time. This is Justice at Scale®.

The Problem: Why Crypto Crimes Go Unpunished

1. Bureaucratic Bottlenecks

• MLATs (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties) take months to process—if they’re processed at all.
• Local police often lack crypto expertise and pass cases off to overwhelmed federal agencies.

2. Fragmented Infrastructure

• Banks, exchanges, telcos, and law enforcement all have pieces of the puzzle—but rarely share them.
• By the time a subpoena is approved, the crypto is laundered and gone.

3. Resource Mismatch

• Crypto scams are run by highly organized transnational syndicates using automation and AI.
• Many law enforcement units are still using spreadsheets and shared inboxes.

4. Institutional Apathy

• Too often, private-sector actors refuse to engage unless compelled by law enforcement.
• Victims are told to “call the police,” contributing to a database—not a resolution.

As a result, successful prosecution or restitution in crypto theft cases is well below 1% globally. For victims, there is no first responder. For criminals, there is no deterrent.

The Stingforce Solution: Justice at Scale®

Just as SpaceX revolutionized space exploration by bypassing bureaucratic inefficiency, Stingforce reimagines crime-fighting through decentralized, legally compliant, public-private fusion.

1. Bypassing MLATs and Jurisdictional Delays

Stingforce investigators and legal specialists assist victims in filing criminal complaints directly in the jurisdiction of the criminal, bypassing slow international requests. This enables real-time freezing of assets, arrests, and evidence preservation—even across borders.

2. Fusion Centers & Operational Alliances

Permanent and ad hoc Stingforce Fusion Centers allow prosecutors, sheriffs, crypto compliance officers, private investigators, and blockchain analysts to work in shared case environments—not silos.

These hubs already in planning or development in:

• Africa
• Southeast Asia
• Middle East
• United States

3. Private First Responders

Unlike traditional frameworks, Stingforce equips fraud analysts, trust & safety officers, and financial crime teams to act as lawful, ethical, and effective first responders to crime—without waiting for a badge.

When a tip is received from a trusted source, Stingforce-affiliated teams:

• Preserve digital evidence
• Freeze assets (via partnerships and platform protocols)
• Refer directly to vetted prosecutors or cooperating LE agencies

4. Secure Information Sharing & Case Platforms

A proprietary platform (in development) will enable:

• Cross-border collaboration between verified actors
• Secure, audit-trailed data exchange
• Pattern recognition, red flag escalations, and automated tracing integration

This removes friction from global operations while meeting due process and privacy standards.

PICDO Victim Support & Law Enforcement Training Fund

The PICDO donation program divert 5% to 10% of recovered funds to train the very law enforcement agents in developing nations, where most scammers reside, who helped resolve the case. This creates a virtuous cycle of justice and capacity-building. PICDO.ORG is a 501(c)(3) registered charity in the USA and was founded by Stingforce cofounder, Michael Roberts.

The Results So Far

• France 2025: A Stingforce case led to a 200-officer raid dismantling a Balkan-led crypto fraud ring worth over €1.2 million. The syndicate used a “Rip-Deal 2.0” scam that exploited crypto wallets. Rexxfield provided the intelligence. French police executed arrests and seizures within days—zero MLAT delays.
• Nigeria: In partnership with the EFCC, Stingforce operatives recovered over $670,000 in stolen crypto and are on track to resolve dozens more cases that U.S. agencies declined. These cases are already under consideration for a Netflix true crime documentary.
• Ghana: Sextortionist arrested and is awaiting trial, if convicted he faces 10-25 years without probation. The FBI task force and Sheriff’s office in the victim’s juristict said nothing could be done.
• And many more…
