Cryptocurrency Crime Defense Lawyers

Cryptocurrency cases represent one of the most advanced areas of federal white collar prosecution, involving blockchain technology, digital wallets, exchanges, and financial crimes that require highly specialized knowledge. Federal agencies such as the FBI, IRS, and Department of Justice have developed dedicated units to investigate allegations involving digital currencies, including fraud, money laundering, securities violations, and tax-related offenses.

Our Experience With Federal Cryptocurrency Cases

Our firm brings national and international experience to cryptocurrency defense. While serving as Deputy Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Division, Daniel Fortune supervised complex investigations involving digital currencies. This work placed him at the forefront of federal cryptocurrency enforcement, collaborating with specialized cyber investigators and prosecutors to understand how Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets are used in criminal enterprises and how transactions move across borders and blockchain networks.

His background as the former Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Coordinator, combined with extensive supervision of money laundering and white collar fraud matters, provides a foundation of expertise rare in cryptocurrency defense. Our firm understands blockchain technology, forensic tracing methods, the role of exchanges and platforms, and the legal theories the government uses to charge crypto-related offenses.

How We Approach Cryptocurrency Crime Defense

Cryptocurrency investigations often involve allegations of operating unlicensed exchanges, securities violations through initial coin offerings, money laundering through mixing services, tax evasion related to digital asset gains, or fraud connected to crypto investments. These cases merge sophisticated technology with complex financial crime statutes.

Our firm evaluates blockchain tracing, examines digital forensic methods, scrutinizes investigative practices, and challenges the assumptions underlying the government's theory. With trial experience and hands-on supervisory involvement in crypto investigations, we provide the specialized representation these matters require.
