But with big bucks come big scams.  Consumers beware, it is a known fact entities are able to tinker with and manipulate the markets.  Further, there are companies that prey upon greed and there are derivative products such as “mining pools” and “mining contracts” that lack transparency, accountability and could in reality just be a ponzi scheme.  Some of these Bitcoin mining or other cryptocurrency ideas can even be found on popular sites like Ebay.

 

Many of these may be actionable under the law.   Some of these will be actionable under the SEC Whistleblower Cryptocurrency Guidelines.  They include:

  • Bitcoin Clubs
  • Initial Coin Offerings (ICO’s) with false representations or improper solicitations
  • Bitcoin Mining Contracts
  • Other Block Chain Mining Contracts
