Bitcoin, Etherium, and other “cryptocurrencies” are all the rage these days. With cryptocurrency values skyrocketing from $100 to over $7,000 in just a little less than three years, the public’s appetite for these virtual currencies and blockchain technology seems to have no end. With volatility and big money and comes big greed and fraud, along with entities and people who are eager to fleece investors.

Global Assert Alliance has the expertise and experience to create and implement crypto-compliance programs. Governments have slowly started regulating the cryptocurrency world. This may cause complications as Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), exchanges, and platforms are subject to financial regulations in most, if not all jurisdictions. While blockchain technology is still relatively new, it does not mean they do are not subject to existing and emerging regulations and statutes. Violations of regulations or statutes could lead to fines, forfeiture of assets and criminal prosecution.

ICOs and cryptocurrency exchanges are required to complete a “Know-Your-Customer” (KYC) verification procedure in order to enjoy full privileges offered such as higher withdrawal limits.

Most legitimate exchanges request – or should request – KYC. It is a common practice to initially restrict a user by imposing funding and transfer limits before requiring personal documentation. This allows new customers to sign up and test services before having to submit information since a crypto-exchange primary goal is to stay in business and thus Government compliance is vital to avoid regulatory or even criminal wrongdoing.

KYC includes installing banking and anti-money laundering regulations which govern these activities. Complying with AML/KYC regulations, safeguarding your confidential data from prying hackers are priorities for legitimate risk management policies and procedures that assist in knowing/understanding the customers and their financial dealings better to monitor their transactions for identification and prevention of suspicious transactions.

Many states, such as Florida, classify crypto-currency exchanges and miners as “money service businesses.” Money service busineses are subject to both federal and state laws, which if not followed can also lead to fines, forfeiture of assets and criminal prosecution.

If an ICO (initial coin offering) is tainted by fraud, a whistleblower who tips off the CFTC or SEC can obtain up to 25%-30% of the recovery, and the investors can get their funds back. For example, if you know that a $50 million ICO is actually raising money for the business or functioning as an investment that should be registered, you stand to receive up to $15 million dollars for simply doing the right thing and turning them in.

We’re only paid if we win your case.

Examples of whistleblower cryptocurrency cases we will consider include:

• ICOs with false or misleading statements;
• ICOs used as a security rather than a currency;
• Funds from an ICO used to support the business itself without proper disclosure;
• Cryptocurrency securities or cooperatives that are not properly registered or monitored; or
• Cryptocurrency “exchangers” acting as unlawful money transmitting businesses that are not properly licensed/registered who exchange cryptocurrencies for normal “fiat” currency.

Generally, people with inside information (or former insiders) are the best cryptocurrency whistleblowers; however, even an ordinary investor may have a claim.
