Tracing Digital Assets in Divorce, Scams, and Crypto Myths w/ Victoria Fife - S1-E8

Описание: What really happens when crypto, marriage, and fraud collide in court?

In this episode of Klickline, host Mina Kim sits down with Victoria Fife, forensic accounting specialist in digital assets at CBIZ Forensic Consulting, regional ambassador for the Association of Women in Cryptocurrency, and 2024 Women in Fintech Fearless Honoree.

Together, they unpack how digital assets are traced in divorce and fraud cases, why crypto isn’t actually anonymous, and how scams—from “wrong-number” romance traps to multimillion-dollar exchange collapses—impact people already navigating emotional upheaval.

Victoria explains in plain English how Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins differ, what really happens when funds move from exchanges to wallets, and why the seed phrase could be both your lifeline and your biggest risk.

They also explore:

How romance and investment scams target divorcing spouses

The FTX collapse and lessons in counterparty risk

Why crypto is the most traceable asset class

Quantum computing and the future of wallet security

The human side of forensic accounting: empathy, closure, and justice

A must-listen for anyone curious about crypto, divorce, or the intersection of technology and trust in modern relationships.
