“We are excited to have entered into this partnership with the AML Shop and look forward to working with Matt and his team,” said BIG CEO, Lance Morginn. “This partnership augments our Forensic Services Division in providing cryptocurrency forensic services across North America. Additionally, as a distributor of our cloud-based investigative platform, the AML Shop is ideally positioned to help its clients reap the benefits of QLUE^TM, whether that’s law enforcement or regulators that need to trace, track and monitor illicit cryptocurrency transactions, or the financial sector and retailers looking to embrace cryptocurrencies with assurance and accountability while meeting their regulatory compliance and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) obligations.”

The AML Shop’s Founder, Matthew McGuire, commented: “We recognized the unique capability that BIG’s products and services represent in enabling us to deepen our own capabilities, tools and offerings regarding the detection of illicit funds. We look forward to our partnership with BIG being a triple win for the AML Shop, BIG, and the clients that benefit from the tools and services provided.”

BIG’s Forensic Services Division brings the Company’s team of investigative experts into action for investigations that require in-depth expertise and experience, either in conjunction with or supplemental to BIG’s user-friendly search, risk-scoring and data analytics tools: BitRank Verified^TM and QLUE^TM.
