Information Gathering

Successful crypto recovery begins with you. This means collecting all of the data you need to create a full picture of the incident and how it happened. The data collection may involve emails and Whatsapp communications with the people running the bitcoin scam, screenshots of transaction confirmations, and misleading statements on websites.

You may be asked to go back and look for other types of information during the investigation process.

Cryptocurrencies, often referred to as virtual currencies or tokens, are quite different from typical currencies such as dollars or euros.
Instead of being issued and backed by a government or central bank, cryptocurrencies are digital assets secured by cryptography that can be used as a medium of exchange. Their  validity is typically provided by a blockchain system with an open, distributed ledger recording transactions.
While different forms of cryptocurrencies have been around for years, they became a cultural phenomenon in 2017 when the price of Bitcoin, one of the more established cryptocurrencies, skyrocketed to nearly $20,000, representing an annual gain of over 2000%. While 2018 saw the “Great Crypto Crash,” cryptocurrency remains very popular, with Bitcoin accompanied by other significant cryptocurrencies such as Etherium, Ripple’s XRP, Binance, Tether, and countless others.
In addition, cryptocurrency exchanges have also expanded, providing platforms that allow customers to trade cryptocurrencies for other assets, including conventional currency and other digital currencies.
But as with any financial vehicle, particularly one that is highly volatile and has garnered incredible public interest, there are opportunities for bad actors to defraud investors. Cryptocurrency fraud has become a dominant topic of discussion for government enforcement attorneys, with numerous prominent conference panels and agency bulletins addressing its various forms, the hype versus the reality, the many ways it can facilitate fraud, and efforts to rein in its abuse.
As crypto scams and fraud becomes more common, it will continue to be crucial for whistleblowers to help the SEC, CFTC, and IRS with their enforcement efforts.

Types of Cryptocurrency Fraud

Cryptocurrency fraud and scams can come in many forms, including:

Financial Crimes

Crypto’s instant transactions, portability, and international reach mean it can be used as a new tool for the furtherance of tax avoidance, money-laundering, and bribery.
Scam Initial Coin Offerings
The first offering of a particular cryptocurrency for sale, called an Initial Coin Offering or ICO, can be a means of preying on the unsophisticated. Many ICOs are completely fabricated, with phony bios of nonexistent team members and technical whitepapers copied from other, legitimate cryptocurrencies.

Pump and Dump Schemes

Crypto can provide a new variation of the classic pump and dump scheme, where owners of a stock try to drive the price up before selling off their holdings at an artificial peak. In the crypto world, this is common at the ICO stage, or even beyond, whenever false claims can hype up demand and permit the originators or dominant holders of the cryptocurrency to earn massive phony profits.

Market Manipulation

Fraudsters can attempt to manipulate the markets where cryptocurrencies or related derivative products are traded. Improper market manipulation may include spoofing, front-running, churning, and other schemes.

Ponzi Schemes

Crypto investments can also be used as the vehicle for a traditional Ponzi scheme, where new adopters are necessary to give artificial returns to the early adopters. Purported investments in emerging crypto markets can also serve as the supposed goal for Ponzi schemes. Given that crypto is widely misunderstood, it can be the perfect cover for a bogus scheme.

Traditional Theft

Crypto also provides criminals new opportunities for theft. They can hack investors’ crypto wallets and steal their currency; they can set up fake wallets to bilk counter parties; and they can set up phony crypto exchanges to steal customers’ money.

Broker/Dealer Fraud

The SEC has examined exchanges and funds investing in cryptocurrencies, which may, depending on the circumstances, need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.

Unscrupulous Promotors

The SEC famously fined Floyd Mayweather and DJ Khaled for failing to disclose payments they received for promoting investments in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).

Regulation of Cryptocurrency

The SEC, CFTC, and IRS all assert regulatory control over cryptocurrency under certain circumstances. For the SEC, a given cryptocurrency must qualify as a security, or the “investment of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others.” The SEC developed its application of this test to cryptocurrency in its now-famous report on The DAO, a German crypto ecosystem.

The CFTC also has authority to regulate crypto as a commodity in accordance with the Commodity Exchange Act. The CFTC has recently stated that crypto enforcement is a top priority because of its high risks for investor fraud.
The IRS has also taken the position that cryptocurrency investments are assets that should be treated like any other for tax purposes, permitting it to tax returns on crypto investments. And through its Criminal Investigations Division, the IRS can pursue money-laundering crimes committed with cryptocurrency. Enforcement efforts by the SEC, CFTC, and IRS can also extend internationally to schemes that have violated U.S. laws.
