Our Whistleblower Practice

      Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have seen staggering price surges and have exploded in popularity in recent years. The sudden emergence of cryptocurrency trading has caught the attention of the federal government. While the IRS, SEC, OCC, and other regulatory agencies seek to tax and control the flow of digital currencies, Uncle Sam has been unable to keep up with the rapid growth of the market. Despite several public statements warning crypto investors about their legal obligations, the market remains a Wild West of fraud, market manipulation, and tax evasion.

      Cracking down on illegal activity in the crypto market will not be an easy task for the feds. Multiple federal agencies have established special task forces to enforce tax and securities laws, but they will undoubtedly fall well short of bringing meaningful oversight to cryptocurrency in the near-term. Due to the inherent lack of transparency in the market, the government needs whistleblowers on the inside to come forward to report violations.

      Whistleblowers allow the federal government to protect the public and collect billions of dollars in taxable revenue. In addition to fulfilling their civic duty, whistleblowers may be entitled to receive a substantial share of the government’s recovery as a reward for their assistance. A tip leading to a successful enforcement action by the IRS, SEC, or Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) can entitle a whistleblower to 15 to 30 percent as a reward. 

      If you are a cryptocurrency investor or employee with information of a violation, our team of experienced whistleblower lawyers can help you formulate your claim and guide you through the process of becoming eligible for a reward.
