I am pleased and proud to report the recent publication of an article I coauthored last year with a former student, Cody Dethlefs, for the Stetson Law Review‘s 2025 symposium on Prosecutorial Discretion & White Collar Crime. The article, The Fraud Remains the Same . . . Or Does It?, explores blockchain frauds, combining my experience with securities regulation considerations and Cody’s with bank regulation.

As the blockchain environment expands, fraudsters will indisputably continue to innovate. It will be incumbent upon enforcement agents to keep pace in an environment complicated by rapid technological advances, privacy and security protections, and cross-border activity. Increasing reliance on blockchains for financing and other…
