Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of compliance and operations related cryptocurrency case studies. The chapter begins with an overview of cryptocurrency Ponzi schemes. As part of this discussion, the influence of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) and the meme economy were discussed as contributors to creating an environment that supported crypto fraud. Several case studies were then discussed that include the use of crypto-related options, revenue sharing arrangements for capital raising, multi-level marketing (MLM) tactics, affinity scams, crypto lending, clone firm scams, and exit scams. The chapter concludes with an analysis of the continued evolution of Turkey’s crypto regulations and the failure of the Thodex and Vebitcoin crypto exchanges. With an established understanding of crypto operations and compliance that has now been reiterated by real-world case studies, in the next chapter we will not turn our focus to Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Compliance and Operations.
