In the ever-changing landscape of digital asset fraud, many fraud and asset recovery practitioners face mounting challenges in the areas of cryptocurrency, NFTs, blockchain, smart contracts and other digital assets. The uncertainty in these areas can quicky derail your case if they are not well understood; and can create a variety of issues and challenges.

Join us in this two-part, highly interactive primer session as we:

  1. Define and unpack the complexities of detecting fraud and tracing assets across the chain, such as:
    • The Metaverse
    • Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)
    • Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)
    • Smart Contracts
    • Decentralized Finance Bridges (DeFis)
  2. Examine the latest developments and best practices for tracing and recovering these assets, including:
    • Are there tools available to prevent Pig Butchering Scams?
    • Are crypto assets treated as traditional assets for the purpose of asset recovery?
    • Do mixers/tumblers stop asset recovery in its tracks?
