Draining the Digital Swamps in "Crypto Land" (Problems and Strategy)
A Talk by Timothy "TimTayshun" Curry (Chief Marketing Officer/ Fraud Prevention Specialist, BlockchainBTM)
About this Talk
The cryptocurrency and blockchain industry has been plagued by numerous frauds, pump & dump schemes, Ponzi and Exit Scams, both small and massive in scale. The consequences continue to result in hyper-regulation in many countries and negative public perception of our industry, throughout the world. This is thereby raising the barrier to entry and threatening to stifle innovation for nascent technologies and new, "good players." This talk will identify the scams both on the micro and on the macro level, and reveal how the money laundering channels are established and even growing. We will also dissect how the infamous Onecoin scam was able to funnel over $5,000,000,000 into the criminal organization and leadership, despite having over 2 dozen of its bank accounts shut-down, frozen and/ or funds seized ...and how it STILL continues to maintain operations and funnel money from its victims, up the hierarchal pyramid and around the world.
