What Are Possible Crypto Fraud Charges?

Prosecutors may accuse you of crypto fraud for many reasons. Some of the more common allegations include:

• Offering or promoting an unregistered cryptocurrency or token
• Running a pump-and-dump scheme
• Misleading investors about how crypto funds will be used
• Failing to report income earned through crypto trades
• Using decentralized exchanges to move money illegally
• Engaging in suspicious transfers or anonymous wallet activity
• Misusing smart contracts or launching buggy projects that trigger complaints
• Violating the Bank Secrecy Act or securities laws

Many of these charges fall under federal laws such as the wire fraud statute (18 United States Code § 1343), the Securities Exchange Act, or the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Lawmakers wrote these laws long before crypto existed, but federal prosecutors often stretch traditional legal tools to fit these newer technologies.

In those cases, courts and prosecutors may overlook important context. That is why a strong legal defense is essential in cases alleging cryptocurrency fraud. Connect with the team at Price Benowitz today to begin working with a dedicated cryptocurrency fraud attorney and learn more about your legal options if you are facing an investigation or charges.

What a Fraud Lawyer Does

If you are under investigation or believe you might be, it is important to speak with someone who understands both the legal system and the complexities of cryptocurrency. While the government may focus on what went wrong, a good defense attorney can help direct the conversation to what actually happened and what the law requires.

A lawyer experienced in dealing with allegations of  crypto-related fraud cases can:

• Review the investigation and identify weaknesses in the government’s case
• Push back on search warrants or digital asset seizures that overreach
• Respond to subpoenas or agency requests from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Justice, or other relevant agencies
• Explain specific charges and evaluate potential defenses
• Bring in experts to analyze blockchain transactions or trace wallet activity
• Negotiate with prosecutors to avoid charges or reduce consequences

These cases require more than technical knowledge of digital currencies. A good defense involves translating complex technology into a narrative that courts and juries understand. Because crypto cases often cross state lines or involve multiple agencies, lawyers with nationwide experience offer broader protection throughout the case.
