Measuring Cryptocurrency FraudAdd to your list(s) Download to your calendar using vCal
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Jack Hughes. In the past ten years, there has been an explosion in the number of cryptocurrencies developed. This rise in cryptocurrencies has induced a rise in assorted fraud associated with the vast array of largely indistinguishable currencies. First I will examine the dynamics of coin creation, competition, and destruction in the cryptocurrency industry. I then investigate the growing trend of cryptocurrency pump and dump scams, a method of price manipulation. Finally, I analyze the role of cryptocurrency exchanges in perpetuating this sort of fraud.
