Abstract

This research paper mainly focuses on the legal status of crypto currency frauds after post pandamic and the tax evasion during the transactions as this article further discusses Firstly, due to the much-decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies, there are unique challenges for fraud detection and enforcement and scams such as Ponzi schemes, phishing attacks, and pump-and-dump schemes are on the rise. Secondly, many jurisdictions have the tax treatment of cryptocurrencies as a long-standing controversial issue. Governments find it difficult to classify and tax digital assets, creating complicated reporting obligations for individuals and businesses. The problem is compounded by inconsistent regulation. Lastly, consumer protection within crypto is becoming a pressing issue. With little regulation and no conventional financial protectors in place, consumers risk losing their investment to bad actors or technological failures.
