Independent reporting on the criminal life of crypto.

CryptoCrime Watch is a digital newsroom built for the people who have to make sense of crypto fraud professionally — investigators, prosecutors, defense counsel, compliance teams, journalists, and serious investors.

We track enforcement actions filed by the SEC, CFTC, DOJ, Europol, the FCA, MAS, and their counterparts. We cover DeFi exploits and on-chain forensics. We follow indictments through to sentencings, and recoveries through to distribution. Our job is to deliver primary-source, calmly reported facts in a market that runs on hype.

What we cover

• Enforcement Actions — every meaningful filing, settlement, and consent order.
• Court Rulings & Sentencings — civil and criminal outcomes that shape precedent.
• DeFi Exploits & Hacks — exploit mechanics, attacker addresses, and recoveries.
• Exchange Investigations — insolvency, mismanagement, and customer-asset disputes.
• Recovery & Seizures — government and private-sector clawbacks.
• Investigative Reports — long-form work on networks, syndicates, and money flows.

Editorial standards

Every story is sourced to primary documents — complaints, indictments, opinions, blockchain transactions, and on-record statements — wherever possible. We do not run anonymous attacks. We do not write press releases. Corrections are issued promptly and labeled clearly.
