The embryonic crypto sector has been startled by swinging markets and falling assets. Regulators in the United States and the United Kingdom say they’ve discovered a Ponzi scheme.

More than 50 leads to potential crypto tax offenses have been identified by international tax investigators, including one case that could be a $1 billion Ponzi scheme, which could lead to official investigations in the coming weeks.

Tax regulators in the United States said on Friday that they were investigating different frauds involving nonfungible tokens and other decentralized aspects of the industry.

Crypto’s capacity to move undetected across borders has made it a tool for criminals aiming to prey on unsuspecting investors. According to TheStreet.com, it has also resulted in a great number of criminal actions, which regulators are striving to tackle and control as crypto thieves strive after bigger and wealthier targets.

During Russia’s unjustified invasion of Ukraine, there was also an increase. Many people were using cryptocurrency to transport money in and out of Ukraine, demonstrating how the currencies could be utilized in the future.

The money involved appears to have impacted crypto buyers in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, and Australia.

The J5, a group of top criminal tax and financial crimes officers from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and the Netherlands, gathered in London this week to share intelligence and data in order to discover sources of cross-border unlawful crypto activity, according to Bloomberg. The authorities focused on decentralized finance and nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, as well as other developing themes.

im Lee, the Internal Revenue Service’s chief of criminal investigations, told reporters Friday:

“Some of these leads I’m talking about, they involve individuals with significant NFT transactions revolving around potential tax or other financial crimes throughout our jurisdictions. One lead appears to be a $1 billion Ponzi Scheme. That’s billion with a B and this lead also touches every single J5 country.”

The project underscores the rising crypto industry’s increased scrutiny of dangers, fraud, and misbehavior. The implosion of the TerraUSD stablecoin, according to US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, showed the need for stricter rules.

According to Lee, the J5 tax officials have identified leads involving decentralized exchanges and financial technology firms. He noted that “significant targets” could be announced as soon as this month. Officials refused to provide any other details about the leads, which have not yet turned into active investigations or resulted in any official charges.

The discovery of possible criminal activity adds to a rocky week for cryptocurrency markets. According to some estimates, large price volatility roiled crypto markets and lowered total crypto asset valuations by around $270 billion.

Crypto transactions’ ease of crossing international borders has prompted increased coordination between countries that have struggled to keep up with rapid technological advances in recent years. The Internal Revenue Service has shifted its focus to make crypto one of its top enforcement objectives, both domestically and globally.
