Cryptocurrency has more recently achieved a level of mainstream appeal as an investment vehicle, regardless of its limited current application in retail transactions.  As cryptocurrency usage increases, more individuals will use this new asset class as a means of committing fraud or hiding assets from creditors or ex-spouses.  This course will provide an introduction to cryptocurrency, how it works, the current regulatory environment, types of frauds committed using cryptocurrency, US tax rules, and how cryptocurrency can be investigated and traced using publicly available Blockchain data. 

Learning Objectives

Participants will gain an understanding of

  1. how cryptocurrency and blockchain works
  2. the types of frauds occurring in the digital asset field
  3. the US regulatory and tax rules regarding cryptocurrency
  4. how to obtain and interpret evidence of cryptocurrency usage
  5. how to cluster publicly available blockchain data
  6. Considerations for seizure of crypto assets

Most businesses still speak in the language of government currencies—U.S. Dollars, Euros, and the like.  But that’s changing.  Join our panel as we investigate how corporations are starting to use so-called “alternative assets,” from cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, etherium offerings, NFTs, and beyond.  How are businesses leveraging alternative assets as investments?  As forms of payment?  As new revenue streams?  As sources of working capital?  Of course, the “how” is just the beginning, as the legal implications of these business practices are gradually coming into focus.  Alternative assets pose different privacy and valuation considerations that are changing business practices and what consumers expect.  Complicating matters further, the laws and regulations constraining the use of alternative assets vary across the global marketplace.  Fox Rothschild’s Deana Labriola will moderate a dynamic panel of experienced business leaders and in-house lawyers who will share their insights of this brave new world of “The Future of Money.”

Association of Corporate Counsel

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is being phased out on June 30, 2023, following allegations of manipulation. This has raised questions about what will replace LIBOR. The switch to another rate depends on the country where a company is located. While companies may still use LIBOR until June 2023, that extension is specific to the US dollar. This article discusses the transition.
