Erin West

About Erin West

Erin West is a globally recognized speaker and educator specializing in transnational organized crime, with a focus on the criminal investigation and prosecution of cryptocurrency-related

cases. Recently retired after 26 years as a Deputy District Attorney in Santa Clara County, California, Erin spent the last eight years of her career assigned to the REACT High-Tech Task

Force, renowned for its arrests and prosecutions of SIM-swappers and successful cryptocurrency recoveries.

As the founder and leader of the Crypto Coalition, an international network of nearly 2,000 law enforcement agents focused on cryptocurrency investigations, Erin has played a pivotal role in advancing global collaboration in combating digital crimes. Following her retirement, she launched Operation Shamrock, a groundbreaking non-profit organization dedicated to uniting

law enforcement, private industry, and cross-border stakeholders in the fight against transnational organized crime originating in Southeast Asia.

Erin’s leadership, innovation, and passion for justice continue to make her a driving force in the global effort to dismantle criminal enterprises and protect communities worldwide.
