Cryptocurrency fraud: Investigating, managing risk and recovering assets. Rahman Ravelli to host international webinar.

A worldwide panel of experts has been assembled for a webinar that will examine the best ways to manage all aspects of cryptocurrency fraud.

The event, organised by business crime solicitors Rahman Ravelli, will be held on January 28 at 1pm UK GMT. It has been devised to address key aspects in offensive investigations and risk management and pinpoint the best strategies to safely recover assets from those who are not entitled to them.

The webinar will be of value to cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet services providers, traders, investors, Blockchain-based financial institutions, Blockchain analytics companies, decentralised exchanges, lending platforms and digital assets data providers as well as general counsel, legal professionals and law enforcement. 

It will analyse:

• Pre-seizure takedown - planning an investigation and the available courses of action.
• Time of takedown - what happens after you begin court proceedings.
• After takedown - the importance and value of negotiation and/or enforcement.
• Recent developments in these areas.

A range of UK and overseas case studies will be scrutinised by the panellists, giving those who attend an insight into the different methods used by professionals across the globe to tackle crypto fraud.
