Binance ( https://www.binance.com/ ), the world's leading blockchain ecosystem 
and cryptocurrency infrastructure provider, has grown its Audit and 
Investigations team again with the hire of Nils Andersen-Roed from Europol 
where he was a specialist on the Dark Web team. His focus will be on conducting 
and leading internal and external investigations with the purpose of 
identifying bad actors that attempt to commit crimes on Binance's platforms and 
to protect users' funds, as well as proactively supporting law enforcement 
agencies with their investigations. Nils' appointment strengthens an already 
strong team of security specialists working hard to make sure Binance remains 
the most secure crypto ecosystem around.

Before his role at Europol, Nils was the Project Leader of the Dark Web Unit of 
the Dutch National Police. He was also the Project Leader of Operation 
Gravesac/Bayonet, coordinating the takeover and takedown of the dark web 
marketplaces Hansa Market and Alphabay.  Together with colleagues around the 
world, Nils was instrumental in this global operation. During this action a 
huge amount of information regarding illicit trades was being gathered and 
shared with other law enforcement agencies which has led to many arrests around 
the globe and contributed greatly to cleaning up the crypto industry.

Nils Andersen-Roed commented: "After many years working in law enforcement I am 
excited to tackle new challenges in the Binance Audit and Investigations team.  
Over the years I have learned that simply arresting criminals isn't enough to 
combat crime, you also need to take a broader look at the whole ecosystem in 
which they are operating. Criminals and other bad actors try to misuse crypto 
for illegal purposes, which can have an impact on innocent participants of the 
whole industry. At Binance I will be in a position to keep the platforms and 
users safe from these bad actors while assisting law enforcement agencies 
around the world with their investigations and secure prosecutions."

"My goal is to make the cryptocurrency industry (and Binance specifically) a 
safer place. International collaboration between the industry and law 
enforcement agencies is key, criminals  don't care about borders. Increased 
collaboration between the public and private sector will also be beneficial 
when it comes to fighting crime and making this industry a safer place for 
everyone."
