Sommario/riassunto

Cryptocurrencies and digital assets have continued to gain widespread acceptance from both retail and institutional investors. Alongside this rapid growth, the digital ecosystem remains plagued by bad actors who



prey on the space. These range from state-sponsored North Korean hacker groups, Russian ransomware gangs, multinational organized criminal enterprises to lower-level Chinese gangsters and run-of-the-mill romance scammers. These criminals indiscriminately target victims across all demographics. Furthermore, cryptocurrency-related scams continue to present increasingly significant threats to institutions and national security. Since the publication of The Cryptocurrency and Digital Asset Fraud Casebook, volumes I and II, scammers have only intensified the sophistication and scope of their attacks. This evolving threat landscape, coupled with a rapidly changing regulatory environment, underscores the ongoing need for up-to-date information and analysis. The Cryptocurrency and Digital Asset Fraud Casebook: Exchange Hacks, Deepfakes, Social Media, and Artificial Intelligence Scams, volume III, is essential reading for anyone seeking the latest insights into fraudulent activity within the cryptocurrency and digital asset space. Jason Scharfman is the Managing Partner of Corgentum Consulting, a specialist consulting firm that performs compliance consulting, due diligence reviews, and investigations of cryptocurrency projects, digital assets, and fund managers of all types, including cryptocurrency hedge funds, private equity, and venture capital.
