Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
identifying a first plurality of sets of event information associated with a first plurality of events, wherein:
the first plurality of events is associated with a first plurality of entities corresponding to a first entity type and a second plurality of entities corresponding to a second entity type;
a first set of event information of the first plurality of sets of event information is associated with a first event of the first plurality of events; and
the first set of event information is indicative of:
a first entity, of the first plurality of entities, associated with the first event; and
a second entity, of the second plurality of entities, associated with the first event;

generating, based upon the first plurality of sets of event information, a first network profile associated with the first plurality of entities and the second plurality of entities, wherein the first network profile is indicative of one or more first sets of event metrics associated with the second entity and a first set of entities comprising the first entity, wherein:
the first plurality of entities comprises the first set of entities; and
a first set of event metrics of the one or more first sets of event metrics corresponds to a measure of events associated with the first entity and the second entity;

at least one of:
analyzing the first network profile to identify a first output set of entities, of the second plurality of entities, that are related to a first input set of entities; or
analyzing the first network profile to identify a second output set of entities, of the first plurality of entities, that are related to the first output set of entities; and

identifying a coalition network associated with fraudulent activity based upon one or more first entities identified in at least one of the analyzing the first network profile to identify the first output set of entities or the analyzing the first network profile to identify the second output set of entities.
