Tiago Geraldo, partner at Morais Leitão, is a speaker at the webinar entitled ‘Of Ponzi and Pyramid Schemes: Crossing International Borders and Building the Picture’, organised by the International Bar Association (IBA), which will take place on 14 May.
This webinar is presented by the IBA African Regional Forum, with the support of the IBA Asset Recovery Committee, IBA Business Crime Committee and IBA Criminal Law Committee, bringing together international experts with practical experience in the areas of compliance, money laundering, cybercrime and regulatory offences.
This webinar will address the growing role of digital currencies — such as Bitcoin — in structuring Ponzi and pyramid schemes, with a particular focus on the African context. Among the topics highlighted will be the early detection of these schemes, the importance of record keeping, as well as solvency analysis and the identification of ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ in these illegal structures.
Participation in the webinar is free of charge, subject to prior registration on the IBA website.
