In a follow up to the episode Blockchain: Revolutionary technology… or the perfect opportunity for fraudsters, we are delighted to be joined by Michael Goodwin QC to delve deeper into the legal landscape of crypto fraud. Michael, a highly regarded Silk at Red Lion Chambers, is an eminent white collar crime practitioner described by Legal 500 as a “serious heavy-hitter in criminal fraud".

While crypto is increasingly challenging traditional finance systems and fast becoming a mainstream alternative, it has also provided an opportunity for criminal behaviour. With increasing numbers of people falling victim to crypto fraud, this episode focuses on the criminal law in this important area of the law.
