As Bitcoin and blockchains are coming into the mainstream, investigators, auditors and forensics and security professionals need to become familiar with how blockchain works and why it is so important to tomorrow’s digital security. It is important for anyone involved in forensics to understand the risk associated with Bitcoin, the most notable usage of blockchain and how applying forensics to those risks can have an impact.
Bitcoin has huge potential to revolutionize financial services, but with risk, as is implicit with any currency. We need to understand how forensic technology can reduce these risks or solve problems of financial loss should these risks materialize. Technology helps us follow flows of cryptocurrencies through wallets and the blockchain. This can be of particular use to regulators and police forces as well as investigators and auditors.
Join Simon Padgett and Sheldon Bennett of DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. as they outline the basics of cryptocurrency transactions and their associated risks and solutions.

Cryptocurrencies, Smart Contracts, and the Future of Economic InteractionSteve Omohundro
Contracts are society's programming language. Corporations are defined by contracts with investors, employees, customers, etc. Countries are defined by social contracts with citizens, representatives, corporations, etc. But today's contracts are confusing and expensive to create and enforce. They are written in bad programming languages and enforced by slow, complex, expensive, and unpredictable mechanisms.
In 1993, Nick Szabo proposed machine executable "Smart Contracts" which can be self-enforcing. The introduction of the "Bitcoin" cryptocurrency in 2008 provided the decentralized "blockchain" infrastructure for implementing these smart contracts. Bitcoin spawned over 500 alternative "altcoin" cryptocurrencies and they have generated both enormous interest and huge volatility.
New "Bitcoin 2.0" technologies like Ethereum are just about to be released. These will support powerful smart contracting mechanisms and may transform many areas of human interaction. We describe these new technologies and their connection to the "Internet of Things" and emerging AI systems.

cryptocurrency investing bible : a way to be a millionairessuserc1e3ce
Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, ICO, blockchain, mining... When hearing those words just a couple of years back, people used to say:
It's a scam, financial bubble
IThere is no point in investing, the price is too low
INo country will ever recognize cryptocurrency
IIt's an obvious pyramid scheme
IIt's a sort of amusement for nerds
IIt's not serious, it will collapse in a couple of years.
Until recently, cryptocurrency had been viewed as a sort of amusement for a handful of the chosen who bought and sold something and believed that a new currency would make a hit one day!
You surely were also among those people who did not take Bitcoin and cryptocurrency seriously, but the current events gag even the biggest skeptics. Current Bitcoin price is 6,644$* The price of the most popular cryptocurrency repeatedly breaks all the unthinkable records. Capitalization is about $120 billion World recognition
The world's largest economies - India and Japan - recognized Bitcoin as the official currency. The US authorities recognized cryptocurrency as the asset. And this is just the beginning.
Mining on an industrial scale
The cryptocurrency market is extremely fast-changing, and it is almost impossible to monitor the situation and make the right decisions on your own. Most people have no proper experience, time and money for that. My book gives basic yet quite extensive information for those people who do not chase a rainbow but want to build a long-term profitable business in one of the cryptocurrency areas: from mining to investing.
So, this book is not about:
Illegal ways of making money
Praising cryptocurrency and urging you to invest in it to the last penny
Fraud techniques and making a fast buck
Boring and pointless theory
Ways to earn millions without investments and risks
This book will help you get to learn the following:
Which way of making money in cryptocurrency market suits you best.
Where should you start if you have just $500.
What information about cryptocurrency the experts withhold (Take the rose-colored glasses off!).
How to elaborate a personal strategy, set up your own cryptocurrency business and earn your first $3,000-10,000 as early as 2018.
I can also guarantee that you:
Puzzle out the main present-day currency trend even if you are clueless about economics, finance and technology.
Understand whether you really want to invest in cryptocurrency (perhaps, this type of business doesn't suit you at all and you will save your time)
Get to learn how to check the risks and not to invest in the first available currency
Having considered my experience, protect yourself from possible failures and pouring money down the drain which will inevitably happen if you go it blind.

A block chain is a distributed database that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. As a database, a block chain stores information electronically in digital format. systems, such as Bitcoin, for maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions. The innovation with a block chain is that it guarantees the fidelity and security of a record of data and generates trust without the need for a trusted third party.

What is Bitcoin and How is it related to Satoshi Nakamoto White Paper.pdfSuraj Sharma
Well the terms like bitcoin & block chain are being coined and referred to everywhere over the internet or over any investment or financial platform the reason being its increasing popularity and the mammoth returns that people have made by investing in these avenues.
Although the concept of bitcoin is known to many but still there are many that are confronted with this question that what is a bitcoin and how does it work? so, in this blog I have made a sincere effort to explain the same in the easiest of manner for you to understand this concept. So as we move ahead we will dive in this concept of What is Bitcoin? How is it related to White paper of Satoshi Nakamoto? to understand the basics of bitcoins and how would its future be like.
The term crypto currency is being coined everywhere due to its increased popularity worldwide, it is being looked at with great aspiration to park one’s money for a lucrative and manifold return. One can well imagine the return percentage on his/her investment in bitcoins by the fact that 1 bitcoin was worth $0 in 2009 and it now values at $55,353 (at the time of writing this article).
This means you could have been a millionaire or a billionaire if a reasonable investment was made in bitcoins in 2009 and was to be redeemed now.
Cryptocurrency- A Digital asset as a medium of exchange:
Crypto currency is a digital asset that is designed in such a manner that it offers the benefits of a medium of exchange like any other currency, so you can buy any item in exchange of these digital assets that you possess from the seller that accepts these forms of payments.
These digital assets are stored in computerized databases as they do not exist in physical form, using strong cryptography to secure the transaction records.
Decentralized Cryptocurrency Explained in Easy:
Whenever these digital currencies are minted, mined or created by the originator , the process is said to have exercised a centralized control, however when these are further disseminated to larger groups a decentralized control is said to have exercised. Each cryptocurrency functions through a distributed ledger technology that is typically known as block chain technology that serves as a public financial transaction database.
Although there are several other Cryptocurrencies that exist in the digital world and they too have offered good returns over a period of time, but the major issue involved in these digital currencies is that they are not backed by any of the apex bank of any country nor do they are traded in any banking channel.
Usually these digital currencies or cryptocurrencies that are not backed by any government or banking channel have no intrinsic value and nor do they will have in future.
Their values are derived purely on the basis of market forces of demand and supply and are a private fiat money. The market of these digital assets is highly volatile and have no capping on their price increase or decrease.
A Beginner's Guide to Profiting from CryptocurrenciesNetflixTube
A cryptocurrency is a type of currency which uses digital files as money. Usually, the files are created using the same ways as cryptography (the science of hiding information). Digital signatures can be used to keep the transactions safe, and let other people check that the transactions are real.
The main point of cryptocurrency is to fix the problems of traditional currencies by putting the power and responsibility in the currency holders' hands. All of the cryptocurrencies adhere to the 5 properties and 3 functions of money. They each also attempt to solve one or more real-world problems.

How Best Practices in Triage Protocol Can Boost Compliance and Reduce RiskCase IQ
With recent announcements of increasingly stringent federal policies around record-keeping and due diligence, compliance and investigation professionals are feeling the pressure to demonstrate consistency and rigor in their case management processes.
Planning your investigation, having the right team members involved and reporting on outcomes of an investigation can all be difficult phases of the process.
However, being able to demonstrate that you are quickly, consistently and accurately triaging incidents is even more important now.
The key is to establish decision-making approaches and plan out your entire protocol before the matter comes to your attention through hotline reporting or other mechanism. This ensures structure and success as you triage, investigate, staff the investigation properly and meet the inevitable challenges of reporting and addressing the root causes of incidents.
How to Drive Efficiency and Reduce Risk with Investigative Case Management So...Case IQ
In order to avoid risk while running a successful organization, today’s leaders need to do more than react to cases of harassment, misconduct and employee fraud. They need to prevent these issues. Purpose-built case management software provides data-driven reports that help companies manage risk, spot trends and protect employees and the organization by preventing incidents, as well as fines and reputation damage.
But home-grown or dated solutions come with many challenges. For instance, managing incidents and investigations using manual methods leads to duplication of effort and information silos, resulting in inefficiency. Using these solutions also comes with security risks and inconsistent documentation, opening the company up to fines and lawsuits.
i-Sight’s powerful case management platform streamlines your investigative process and provides the data you need to analyze results, prevent incidents and protect your employees. You’ll save time and money, ensure compliance, and reduce risk, all with one tool.
Who's Lying? Using the Cognitive Interview to Assess Credibility in Workplace...Case IQ
When investigating a “he said/she said” case of sexual harassment or other alleged misconduct, are you using scientifically validated methods to interview witnesses, assess their credibility, and reach a defensible conclusion?
Over the past 15 years, scientists have found that much of the conventional wisdom on how to effectively interview witnesses and determine truthfulness is wrong. At the same time, courts have found companies liable for using scientifically unproven interviewing techniques in workplace investigations.
In this webinar you will learn about the hundreds of research studies that scientists have conducted on how to best interview witnesses and assess credibility. You will learn how to apply these scientifically validated methods to your investigations.
Join the i-Sight team and former U.S. Department of Justice attorney Michael Johnson as they discuss how to apply these scientifically validated methods to your investigations.
Protecting the Mental Wellbeing of Corporate InvestigatorsCase IQ
Vicarious trauma is a type of second-hand psychological response most often associated with first responders and front-line crisis workers. Although corporate incident investigators and HR and compliance professionals are usually not the first on the scene, they frequently find themselves listening to both victims and accused people who recount what could be the worst days of their professional lives.
There is no doubt that the case management process can be stressful and sometimes triggering for those who are managing it. The personal and organizational impacts can include compromised risk assessment and investigations, investigator burnout and absenteeism, and a less healthy workplace overall.
Join expert workplace investigator Ken McCarthy as he shares his experience with vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue resulting from his involvement in workplace investigations.
As an investigator, you don’t define your value to the organization; leadership does. What are you doing to be a better business advisor and contribute to the organization’s goals? In other words, why should the bosses listen to you?
Because misconduct doesn’t happen in a vacuum! It results from a perfect storm of factors like employee ignorance, a failure to see the larger implications, a lack of training and procedures, or a failure of internal controls. And you have a view to all of this in your cases.
This webinar outlines how you can become a better strategic advisor, how to think like a business leader, and what keeps executives awake at night. You’ll learn how case management can drive a culture of prevention, and how you can prove the bottom-line ROI of investigations.
Join Meric Bloch, Strategic Advisor at Winter Investigations as he discusses how investigators can become business advisors to the C-suite using their knowledge of case management and risk assessment.
In this webinar, you will learn:
Goals of a strategic business advisor.
-What advice does a strategic advisor give?
-What should a strategic advisor not do?
-How an investigator can become a strategic advisor.
-How stellar case management positions investigators as strategic advisors.
5 Steps to Creating an Ethical Work CultureCase IQ
You get it. Being an ethical organization matters. A lot.
But ethics isn’t just a quarterly HR campaign or a glossy conduct guide; in order to really have a bottom-line business impact, organizational ethics must function as an integral pillar of company culture over time.
So, what are the best practices to make sure your organization is regularly thinking about ethics and including it in everyday decision making? What are some creative ways to bring focus to this vital but often overlooked function? And how can you most effectively deal with and investigate an incident or a breach when it occurs?
How to Assess, Level Up, and Leverage Your Culture of ComplianceCase IQ
Compliance officers know that a strong culture of compliance is indispensable to risk management and better business performance in the modern world. So how, exactly, can you capture insights into the current state of your corporate culture, and then use that information to (1) shore up weak spots in ethics and compliance operations; and (2) leverage a strong culture of compliance for better operations across the enterprise?
Join Matt Kelly, Editor and CEO of RadicalCompliance.com, as he discusses how and why compliance leaders need to use data to improve their investigations and corporate culture.
Everything You Need to Get E&C Investigations Right (According to the DOJ)Case IQ
Internal investigations have long been a part of every ethics & compliance program and every E&C professional’s tool kit. However, the US Department of Justice has made clear that internal investigations are more important than ever.
In October 2021, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco reinstituted the substance of the Yates Memo, requiring companies to turn over all information on any culpable individuals. Recent criminal enforcement actions by the DOJ have thrown new and increasing scrutiny on internal investigations. Now, CCOs and CECOs must certify compliance in any FCPA settlement.
In short, getting E&C internal investigations right has taken on a new importance.
5 Ways to Build Employee Trust for Less Turnover and Fewer IncidentsCase IQ
Over the past few months, we’ve seen employees quit in record numbers. While there are many reasons for “The Great Resignation”, a standout is employee trust. A study from Gallup suggests that only one in three employees strongly agree that they trust the leadership of their organization.
Employees want to trust the companies they work at and the people they work with. They want to feel comfortable coming to HR with their complaints and concerns. But building trust takes time, and effort. As organizations are planning their post-pandemic strategies, now is a perfect time to place an intentional emphasis on building trust.
Hybrid Workplace Harassment: Are You Protecting Your Company from Hidden Thre...Case IQ
In today’s “new world of work,” many organizations run on a hybrid model, with some employees working remotely and others in the physical office. While this set-up is convenient, it can cause unique interpersonal issues between employees.
Reduced face-to-face communication makes it harder for teams to bond, while making it easier for harassers to get away with bad behavior. To reduce harassment incidents in your hybrid workplace, you need to foster a culture of openness, willingness to learn, and compassion.
Join workplace investigation and executive management expert Kenneth McCarthy as he outlines how to address and prevent hybrid workplace harassment incidents.
Finding Value Before a Crisis: How Workplace DEI Drives Revenue and Prevents ...Case IQ
The topic of workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion is at an all-time high right now. It has been proven that there is a direct correlation between inclusive workforces, productivity, and revenue. According to the McKinsey & Company diversity report, “companies in the top-quartile for ethnic and cultural diversity on executive teams were 33% more likely to have industry-leading profitability.”
Without a strong DEI program, though, your organization could face internal harassment incidents, discrimination lawsuits, high employee churn, and a poor corporate reputation, leading to lost customers and clients.
Join inclusive marketing consultant, speaker, and author Michelle Ngome as she outlines DEI best practices that will increase your organization’s revenue, as well as prevent workplace incidents.
How Not to Get Called Out on TikTok: Improving Your Brand Through Employer/Em...Case IQ
More and more, disgruntled employees have been taking to TikTok, Twitter, and other social media sites to share videos and posts of their bad work experiences. These stories are more likely than ever to go viral, which can lead to lost business, reputational damage, employee churn, and lawsuits, just to name a few unwelcome consequences for employers.
While some people might be acting in bad faith, employees have been finding tried traditional HR channels less than satisfactory. They feel un-heard and undervalued, and they turn to the internet to tell their stories, and receive fast responses.
You can’t build a brand or accomplish your mission statement without your employees. To avoid the repercussions of viral incidents and strengthen your brand, you have to repair your employer/employee relationship and work culture—or better yet, create a healthy, ethical culture from the start.
Join employment lawyer Janette Levey as she breaks down major viral incidents including Better.com, Starbucks, and Amazon, their consequences, and what to do to avoid them.
What is Psychological Safety in the Workplace?Case IQ
Catherine Mattice discusses how workplace concepts such as incivility, harassment, and inequity are intertwined, and how organizations can address them more proactively to create psychological safety for all workers.
Misconduct or Missed Conduct? Ensuring Consistent SAR Reporting of Internal M...Case IQ
Case management is an integral component of any institution’s overall compliance program, let alone those with suspicious activity report (“SAR”) filing responsibilities. However, misconduct is often reported through multiple channels such as whistleblower complaints, HR, and even through a company’s legal department. If misconduct requires SAR filing, input from HR, and advice from legal, but comes in through possibly siloed teams, how can a company feel confident that they are accurately capturing and consistently dispositioning these cases?
The answer boils down to an often-overlooked area – case management systems.
Join financial crime compliance advisory and training specialist Michael Schidlow, as he explains best and worst practices in the field, gives tips on what case management tools should always and shouldn’t ever do, and describes how to utilize metrics from those systems to get an accurate snapshot of their company’s risk profile.
Building Effective Sexual Harassment Prevention Policies and TrainingCase IQ
There’s no place for sexual harassment in today’s workplace, and employers have a responsibility to investigate every allegation. But reacting after a complaint is made doesn’t fix a culture that allows sexual harassment to occur. A proactive approach, incorporating a strong policy, backed by training and commitment at all levels, is key to building an organizational culture that discourages sexual harassment.
Join Philip Miles, employment lawyer, McQuaide Blasko, as he outlines the steps for building policies and training plans to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
How to recognize and minimize unconscious bias in the workplaceCase IQ
The modern workplace should be an inclusive and welcoming environment for all employees but that isn’t always the case. In fact, systemic inequality is the norm for a vast number of workplaces throughout North America, Europe and beyond. And while the BLM and MeToo movements have received much media attention, the underlying factors that contribute to the inequality they point out aren’t always addressed.
Implicit, or unconscious, bias is the root of many systemic inequities in the workplace. It’s important that we recognize our personal biases, take action to mitigate them and actively serve as an ally to others.
On June 10, join Catherine Mattice-Zundel, president of Civility Partners, a training and consulting firm focused on helping organizations build positive workplace cultures, as she outlines strategies for uncovering and reducing implicit bias in workplace decision-making.
The webinar will cover:
● The origins of bias and four different types of bias
● Risk factors that increase our likelihood to engage in bias
● How to compensate for and attempt to overcome bias through clear and tangible actions
● Strategies to combat microaggressions and other exclusive behaviors using simple, tried and true
intervention methods
Search Engine Skills for Workplace InvestigatorsCase IQ
Whether you are investigating fraud, harassment or other misconduct, solid online research skills can serve you well. The internet is a valuable resource for finding information and evidence to support your case, and it’s important to stay up to date on its use and limitations.
Join Cynthia Hetherington, investigation expert, trainer and founder of Hetherington Group, as she explores techniques and tools for getting the information you need online.
Preventing Bullying and Harassment Through Diversity and Inclusion in the Wor...Case IQ
In a 2019 Monster survey, 90 per cent of employees said they had experienced bullying in the workplace. The Pew Research Center reports that 69 per cent of women say they have been sexually harassed in a professional setting. These numbers point to a serious problem that leaders can’t afford to ignore.
Policies and training are, of course, critical to the prevention of bullying and harassment, but there are other avenues that you may not have considered. Diversity and inclusion have benefits that go far beyond compliance. Not only do companies that embrace diversity and inclusion outperform those that don’t, but understanding, accepting and valuing differences ensures a fairer, more collaborative environment with less conflict.
Join Catherine Mattice-Zundel, president of Civility Partners, a training and consulting firm focused on helping organizations build positive workplace cultures, as she explores strategies for using diversity and inclusion to prevent harassment and bullying.
The webinar will cover:
What constitutes bullying and harassment in the workplace
Best practices for addressing and preventing bullying and harassment
How diversity and inclusion helps to reduce bullying and harassment
How to achieve diversity and inclusion
Case studies of how bullying, inequities and harassment tie together, and how resolving one requires resolving all
Insider Threat: Cases and Controls to Prevent Internal Fraud and PreventionCase IQ
“I never would have imagined”, said the company owner, manager, colleague, or workplace friend. It is hard to reconcile that people would engage in fraudulent behavior in the workplace, let alone the depth of these schemes. Financial misconduct and internal fraud are among the biggest threats to today’s organizations. Without the right controls and prevention measures in place, companies are at financial and reputational risk.
Join financial crime compliance advisory and training specialist Michael Schidlow, as he reviews recent cases of internal fraud, what we can learn from them, and controls that companies can put in place to prevent fraud
7 Ways to Increase Ethical Accountability and Decrease Fraud Risk Case IQ
It’s long been clear that organizations with strong ethical cultures perform better than those without. In addition to the multitude of positive impacts a strong ethical culture provides, these organizations will also typically experience less fraud and misconduct. However, to achieve maximum results, a strong ethical culture must focus on accountability and include robust fraud prevention measures.
Ethical accountability takes time and effort to build, but the rewards of fostering the right culture in an organization are measurable. Fewer fraud incidents, for example, can be demonstrated by hard numbers. A strong code of conduct is a great start, but it’s critical to have a comprehensive ethics program that fosters accountability.
Join Joseph Agins, CFE, CCEP, adjunct professor and fraud expert, as he outlines strategies organizations can use to ensure every employee from the C-Suite down has the tools they need to help them make ethical decisions and prevent fraud.
The webinar will cover:
The importance of tone from the top
Identifying the pressures employees face and thus the ethics and fraud risks
Understanding the resources employees have (or not) to report wrongdoing
Whether the internal imagining of the culture matches the reality
Developing tools and strategies for fostering ethics in the workplace
Anti-fraud measures that should be incorporated into every ethics policy

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

5. What is the Blockchain ?
“The blockchain is an incorruptible digital
ledger of economic transactions that can
be programmed to record not just
financial transactions but virtually
everything of value.”
Don & Alex Tapscott, authors Blockchain
Revolution (2016)
6. How Does Blockchain Work?
Picture a spreadsheet that is duplicated thousands of times across a network of
computers. Then imagine that this network is designed to regularly update this
spreadsheet and you have a basic understanding of the blockchain.
Information held on a blockchain exists as a shared — and continually
reconciled — database.
This is a way of using the network that has obvious benefits. The blockchain
database isn’t stored in any single location, meaning the records it keeps are
truly public and easily verifiable. No centralized version of this information
exists for a hacker to corrupt. Hosted by millions of computers simultaneously,
its data is accessible to anyone on the internet.

10. Bitcoin is….
• Bitcoin is a worldwide cryptocurrency and digital payment system called the first
decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central repository or single
administrator.
• It was invented by an unknown person or group of people under the name Satoshi
Nakamoto and released as open-source software in 2009.
• The system is peer-to-peer, and transactions take place between users directly, without
an intermediary.
• These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed
ledger called a blockchain.
• Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged
for other currencies, products, and services.
• Newly minted Bitcoin go into a Wallet. From these wallets coins start to be distributed.

22. Cryptocurrency scams to be aware of
But note:
•A blockchain in itself is secure.
•It is the external human influence that we have to watch.
23. 1. Fraudulent ICOs
•Fabricate a fake ICO, create marketing hype and persuade people to
buy.
•Seen as a quick and innovative way to kickstart a company.
•Ethereum has become the breeding ground for these fraudulent ICOs.
•It is the ignorance of new investors who dream of huge gains in a matter
of days by holding worthless ICO tokens.
Cryptocurrency scams to be aware of
24. 1. Fraudulent ICOs
Indicators of fraudulent ICOs or Token Sales:
•Copied whitepaper
•Anonymous team
•Unusual hurry in execution
•Mismatch of words
•Ignoring hard questions
•No strong reasons for the token issue
•No roadmap
•Unknown team (management, lawyers, bankers, etc.)

26. 2. Shady Exchanges
•The second most common form of scam that you will come across would
be a ‘shady exchange’, sprung up overnight. Once you trust them and
deposit your coins there, you have no way to get them back if the
intentions are fraudulent.
•Also, some exchanges that start well can also eventually run away with
your money any time because they fail to scale and innovate to stay
competitive in the market.
•As well shady exchanges are targets for hackers as they generally have
weak security due to little investment.

27. 2. Shady Exchanges
Some of these platforms as reported by Bitcoin.com are:
01crypto, Btc-cap, Capital-coins, Coinquick, Cryptavenir, Crypto-banque,

28. BREAKING NEWS
MapleChange Loses 913 Bitcoin ($6M) In “Hack,”
Deletes Twitter Page And Shutters Website
On Sunday morning, a lesser-known crypto exchange,
revealed that it had apparently fallen victim to a hack,
resulting in a loss of consumer-owned funds. The platform
in question, MapleChange, which is reportedly Canadian
(as its name implies), took to Twitter to explain that “due
to a bug,” an unnamed group of individuals managed to
withdraw funds, adding that it is conducting a “thorough
investigation” and will be unable to make refunds.”
29. 3. Fake Wallets
•With the launch of Bitcoin, many fake crypto wallet programs have also
been launched.
•That’s why it is a big NO-NO to pick any wallet randomly because there
are chances that it will be fraudulent and you may end up losing your
money.
•Though these wallets may promise you control of your funds, never trust
them without proper due-diligence.

31. 4. Pyramid or Ponzi Schemes
•This form of scam is easiest to spot but people still fall for it.
•If you find a crypto project that actively encourages the recruitment
of new investors to maximize your profits, it is probably a Ponzi
scheme. This system works on the model of scamming the one who
enters the system later.
•Also, schemes that promise absurd returns are likely to be Ponzi
schemes

34. 6. Pump & Dump Schemes and Groups
•Pump & Dump groups are not something new in
the traditional market and are also common in the crypto market.
•You will find many crypto groups with thousands of members. These groups
are the tools to manipulate the prices of coins that have low market caps.
•In this way, people who act fast or first get the advantage and the people
who are a bit late suffer from the plummeting prices in just a matter of
minutes.
•There are several tools available in the market to monitor the volume
increase in a particular crypto which helps in identifying such schemes.
Cryptocurrency scams to be aware of
35. 7. Impersonators
•The most sophisticated form of scam.
•In this type of crypto scam, scammers make fake Twitter and Facebook
account to impersonate the actual legit project or the person behind it.
•You will find many impersonators on Twitter acting like Vatalik Buterin or
major coin CEO’s who make announcements which are never true.
•Also, scammers have started acting as crypto exchange support staff to
scam people of their crypto funds.
