Researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg have published a paper outlining methods for determining the validity of deanonymized data on the Bitcoin blockchain. The paper provides a blueprint for conducting, verifying and presenting investigations into crimes involving cryptocurrency transactions. While the paper focuses on the German and US legal systems, the authors state that the findings should be generally applicable. The researchers propose a standard framework containing five argumentative schemes designed to ensure proper reporting and explanation throughout the legal process, which can aid investigators and prosecutors while also ensuring the law is applied fairly to suspects.
