It’s no secret that crypto asset frauds are on the rise and becoming more sophisticated. Scams are running rampant in the crypto markets as a huge rally in bitcoin, a lack of regulation, and the anonymity of digital money have created a ripe environment for fraudsters.

The Pandora Papers: A Wakeup Call for Dramatic Policy Reforms— or Hot Air About the Rich and Famous?
2:15 THE ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES SPEAK
Microphone Will Fitzgibbon, Senior Reporter, International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (U.S.)
Martin Kenney, Managing Partner, Martin Kenney & Co. Solicitors (British Virgin Islands)
The Pandora Papers investigation and subsequent leak of offshore data is the largest in journalism history, and exposes a shadow financial system that benefits the world’s most rich and powerful. While the investigation and document leak provide a rare window into the hidden operations of a global offshore economy, does it really include any revelations about criminality or financial wrongdoing? Join us for an animated debate on the legality and legitimacy of utilizing offshore entities, and what benefits or legislation will actually result from the document leaks. We will take a deep dive into the questions that everybody wants answered, including: • How much apparent criminality did the Pandora Papers actually reveal? • How is the grand violation of privacy rights justified with no official or legitimate gate-keepers— overseeing “who gets to see what”? • Will greater transparency really prevent corruption and kleptocracy; or could it lead to unintended consequences? • Will the Pandora Papers have an effect on the regulated sector, and has it already been swamped by demands for change? • To what extent was the regulated sector already changing, even before the latest “revelations”? • Will enhanced due diligence and KYC (alone) frustrate money launderers and tax evaders? 12:00

Daniel Pascucci, Member, Co-Chair, Cross- Border Asset Recovery Practice, Mintz Levin
Collectability risk has become a major focus of litigation finance as a result of the pandemic induced financial crisis. As a result, collectability risk is being assessed as rigorously as legal risk, and many anticipate a corresponding growth in demand for asset recovery and enforcement funding. Join us as we talk through the newest methodologies for properly assessing collectability in the context of litigation funding, such as:

Saverio Lembo, Partner; Head of White Collar Crime Practice Group, Bär & Karrer SA (Switzerland)
Fraudsters have become increasingly sophisticated in their cyber attacks that target non-public information, critical infrastructure and non-traditional financial assets. These new schemes have significantly altered the ways in which practitioners investigate and litigate these types of fraud, and have created complex challenges when trying to identify the fraudsters and seek injunctive relief. In this session, we will discuss: • Some of the emerging forms of cyber fraud • Challenges in both prosecution and defense of cyber fraud matters • Strategies for investigating, litigating and obtaining injunctive relief for cyber fraud schemes
