The United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), the law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service, has conducted an internal audit of the way in which it carries out crypto-related investigations and found there’s significant room for improvement.
Notably, the USPIS handled only a small number of crypto-related cases during the two fiscal years under review — 2019 and 2020 — with a total of four closed cases for which postal inspectors seized crypto as evidence during an investigation and nine other cases that were managed under the USPIS’ “Cryptocurrency Fund Program,” established back in 2017.
