3 Crypto Crime Myths That Could Land You in Federal Prison

Written By Carlo DAngelo

Think cryptocurrency fraud only gets prosecuted in New York, LA, or Miami? Think again. The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Texas aggressively pursues crypto-related federal cases — including money laundering, wire fraud, and unlicensed money transmitter charges.

In this video, criminal defense attorney [Name] breaks down three of the most dangerous misconceptions people have about cryptocurrency and federal criminal law:

→ Crypto crime is NOT a "big city" problem — federal prosecutors everywhere are bringing these cases. → Crypto is NOT anonymous — every blockchain transaction is permanently visible, and the government now uses advanced analytics and AI to trace funds through mixers and tumblers. → A dormant wallet is NOT a safe wallet — the moment old fraud proceeds are moved, prosecution becomes possible. A recent Georgia indictment shows exactly how this plays out.
