Cryptocurrencies and digital assets have continued to gain widespread acceptance from both retail and institutional investors. With this rapid growth in both the crypto and digital asset spaces, there has also been an unfortunate steady drumbeat of fraudulent activity. It has been reported that in 2021 alone over $14 billion in crypto was stolen from investors. Frauds have touched all aspects of the crypto universe ranging from outright Bitcoin theft, pig butchering, and wallet phising to DeFi rug pulls, exchange hacks, mining scams and NFT fraud. The Cryptocurrency and Digital Asset Fraud Casebook will provide up to date information and analysis on fraudulent activity in the crypto space.
