Damilola Ayodele
@damilolaayodele
I investigate cryptocurrency financial crime, AML risks, and regulatory compliance cases.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting Coinbase through Guidehouse, where I conduct quality-control reviews of AML investigations and Suspicious Activity Reports to strengthen evidence, documentation, risk assessments, and regulatory reporting.
I've investigated cryptocurrency transactions, sanctions concerns, fraud, account takeovers, phishing attacks, pig-butchering schemes, terrorism financing, darknet exposure, and other illicit financial activity. I use Chainalysis, Tracer, OSINT research, and internal systems to analyze blockchain activity, transaction behavior, and source-of-funds concerns.
Previously at USAA, I conducted CDD and EDD investigations for higher-risk customers and entities, reviewed OFAC, sanctions, and PEP alerts, and analyzed customer activity for money-laundering and sanctions risks.
I bring more than four years of AML and financial crime experience across subpoena-driven lookbacks, internal remediation, transaction monitoring, regulatory compliance support, and clear investigative documentation.
