NAXO Adds Former Federal Prosecutor Georgie MacDonald to Elite Investigations Team

NEW YORK, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NAXO, a leading blockchain and digital forensics firm specializing in complex technical investigations, is pleased to welcome former federal prosecutor Georgiana ("Georgie") MacDonald as a Partner. Georgie brings more than a decade of experience prosecuting financial and cyber crimes, during which she established herself as a national authority on blockchain litigation, supported investigations leading to the seizure of hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen crypto assets, and was a founding member of the Department of Justice's National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET).

"Georgie is one of the most sought-after experts in navigating complex crypto investigations and bringing sophisticated cyber criminals to justice," said Dave Franzel, Co-Founder of NAXO. "She has been a pioneer in this space since its inception and has personally trained more than 1,000 federal agents and prosecutors. Her litigator's mindset is an invaluable asset, and we are thrilled to have her on the team."

At NAXO, Georgie will lead high-stakes investigations and enhance the firm's privileged consulting and expert testimony services. She will use her prosecutorial experience to help clients navigate complex blockchain and cyber-related investigations and translate intricate technical evidence into clear, actionable findings. She will also work to strengthen NAXO's industry-leading training programs for law firms and law enforcement.

"I joined NAXO because the team is made up of the best of the best cyber investigators—a diverse group of creative, technically brilliant people who not only get results in the hardest cases but also present their findings cleanly and simply," explained Georgie. "In my career as a prosecutor, I saw how critical—and rare—it is to have credible experts who can clarify complex digital evidence. As part of the NAXO team, I'm excited to strengthen our advanced litigation support services and to continue to help our clients build the soundest possible cases."

In her most recent role, Georgie served as Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division for the District of New Hampshire, where she oversaw prosecutors focused on white collar, cyber, and national security cases. During her time at the Department of Justice, she also spearheaded a national strategy to combat large-scale pig butchering, a form of crypto investment fraud, and she looks forward to continuing to fight this devastating scourge by expanding NAXO's pro bono practice.
