Consultation of a lawyer in the case of crypto-wallet fraud

What is the criminal liability for cryptocurrency fraud?

Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – committing fraudulent actions, including with cryptocurrency, may be punished by:

with a fine of up to 8 thousand n.m.g.
public works up to 240 hours.
corrective works up to 2 years.
probationary supervision for up to 3 years.
restriction of freedom for up to 5 years.
imprisonment for up to 12 years with confiscation of all available property.

Article 185 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – qualifies in the case of secret theft of funds from a crypto wallet and is punishable by:

with a fine of up to 3 thousand n.m.g.
public works up to 240 hours.
corrective works up to 2 years.
probation supervision for up to 5 years.
restriction of freedom for up to 5 years.
imprisonment for up to 12 years with confiscation of all available property.

What are the most dangerous types of cryptocurrency scams?

Some of the most dangerous types of cryptocurrency scams are phishing and ICO (Initial Coin Offering) scams. Phishing involves creating fake websites or sending e-mails that appear to be official in order to trick users of their private keys or credentials. This can lead to a complete loss of funds in the accounts. ICO scams, where fraudsters create fake projects promising big profits but disappear after receiving investment, are another serious threat.

Fraud on crypto exchanges is also a significant threat to cryptocurrency users. This can include fake exchanges created to steal users’ funds, hacks of legitimate exchanges where criminals use vulnerabilities in security systems to steal cryptocurrencies, and insider attacks where exchange employees can abuse their access to systems to commit fraudulent activities.

Importantly! These types of scams require constant vigilance, use of reliable platforms and compliance with security rules to minimize risks.

Legal recommendations for cryptocurrency protection

Before using any cryptocurrency platform, such as an exchange or wallet, you should carefully investigate whether the platform is licensed and complies with local regulatory requirements.
Comply with AML and KYC requirements when dealing with cryptocurrency platforms. This will help you avoid legal problems and reduce the risk of fraud.
Comply with tax requirements for declaring cryptocurrency income and transactions.
Use legally sound contracts when dealing with cryptocurrency, especially for large transactions or investments.
Keep your personal data and cryptographic keys in a safe place.
Consider insuring your cryptocurrency assets to protect yourself against potential losses.

I contacted them because of the spread of false information on the Internet. The lawyers responded promptly and helped protect my reputation. I am satisfied with the result.

The team supported the case to protect the company’s business reputation. Everything was clear, well-reasoned, and with an understanding of the specifics of the business.

They helped resolve a conflict with an employee without going to court. Everything went as smoothly as possible and within the framework of the law. We are grateful for the professional approach and support.

We are very satisfied with the cooperation in the field of grants. Grant manager Mykola accompanied the entire process “turnkey” and always explained each step. You can feel the experience and practical approach.

We asked for help in preparing a grant application. We received not only full support, but also valuable recommendations on the structure of the project. As a result, our business was successfully financed. Thank you very much!

Thanks to the support of “Prіkhodko and Partners”, we successfully participated in public procurement for the first time. The lawyer helped us prepare documents correctly and avoid typical mistakes.

We had a difficult situation with appealing the tender results. The team quickly got involved in the process and helped defend our position. Very strong expertise in tender law.

We contacted the Law Firm “Prіkhodko and Partners” in a complex commercial dispute with a counterparty. The team quickly analyzed the situation, built a strategy, and helped defend our interests in court. The professional and systematic approach is immediately noticeable.

We work with the company on an ongoing basis. We especially appreciate the attention to detail and the ability to prevent risks before they arise. This is exactly the case when lawyers really help save business money.

We turned to Taras Miroshnychenko to prepare a Legal Opinion in a complex case regarding loot boxes for the trial. The document was prepared at a highly professional level, taking into account international regulations and EU case law. This significantly strengthened our position in court.
