Download or read book Virtual Economies and Financial Crime written by Clare Chambers-Jones and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtual economies and financial crime are ever-growing, increasingly significant facets to banking, finance and anti-money laundering regulations on an international scale. In this pathbreaking and timely book, these two important issues are explored together for the first time in the same place. Clare Chambers-Jones examines the jurisprudential elements of cyber law in the context of virtual economic crime and explains how virtual economic crime can take place in virtual worlds. She looks at the multi-layered and interconnected issues association with the increasing trend of global and virtual banking via the 'Second Life' MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game). Through this fascinating case study, the author illustrates how virtual worlds have created a second virtual economy which transgresses into the real, creating economic, political and social issues. Loopholes used by criminals to launder money through virtual worlds (given the lack of jurisdictional consensus on detection and prosecution) are also highlighted. The importance of providing legal clarity over jurisdictional matters in cyberspace is an increasing concern for policymakers and regulators, and this book provides a wealth of information on new aspects of cyber law and virtual economics. As such, it will prove essential reading for academics, students, researchers and policymakers across the fields of law generally, and more specifically, financial law and regulation, finance, money and banking, and economic crime.

Book Synopsis Wildcat Currency by : Edward Castronova
Download or read book Wildcat Currency written by Edward Castronova and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private currencies have always existed, from notes printed by individual banks to the S&H Green Stamps that consumers once redeemed for household items. Today’s economy has seen an explosion of new forms of monetary exchange not created by the federal government. Credit card companies offer points that can be traded in for a variety of goods and services, from airline miles to online store credit. Online game creators have devised new mediums of electronic exchange that turn virtual money into real money. Meanwhile, real money is increasingly going digital, where it competes with private currencies like Bitcoin. The virtual and the real economic worlds are intermingling more than ever before, raising the possibility that this new money might eventually replace the government-run system of dollars, euros, and yen. Edward Castronova is the leading researcher in this field, a founder of scholarly online game studies and an expert on the economies of virtual worlds. In this dynamic and essential work, he explores the current phenomenon of virtual currencies and what it will mean legally, politically, and economically in the future. In doing so, he provides a fascinating, often surprising discourse on the meaning of money itself—what it is, what we think it is, and how we relate to it on an emotional level.

Download or read book Economic Crime written by Mark Button and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-24 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first attempt to establish 'economic crime' as a new sub-discipline within criminology. Fraud, corruption, bribery, money laundering, price-fixing cartels and intellectual property crimes pursued typically for financial and professional gain, have devastating consequences for the prosperity of economic life. While most police forces in the UK and the USA have an ‘economic crime’ department, and many European bodies such as Europol use the term and develop strategies and structures to deal with it, it is yet to grain traction as a widely used term in the academic community. Economic Crime: From Conception to Response aims to change that and covers: definitions of the key premises of economic crime as the academic sub-discipline within criminology; an overview of the key research on each of the crimes associated with economic crime; public, private and global responses to economic crime across its different forms and sectors of the economy, both within the UK and globally. This book is an essential resource for students, academics and practitioners engaged with aspects of economic crime, as well as the related areas of financial crime, white-collar crime and crimes of the powerful.

This book will be of great use and interest to scholars, practitioners and students within the field of financial crime, banking and finance law, and international political economy.
Book Synopsis The Effectiveness of Regulatory Regimes in Combating Virtual Currencies’ Money Laundering Activities by : Sara Aljufaili
Download or read book The Effectiveness of Regulatory Regimes in Combating Virtual Currencies’ Money Laundering Activities written by Sara Aljufaili and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2019 in the subject Law - Civil / Private, Trade, Anti Trust Law, Business Law, grade: 68% (UK) 3.88 (USA), Northumbria University (Northumbria University Law school), course: International Trade Laws Masters, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the existing national and international regulatory approaches in detecting and preventing money laundering activities through virtual currencies. The objective of this evaluation is to determine if these current regulatory approaches require modifications to enhance their effectiveness. The evaluation of these different approaches will also be used to determine the most suitable regulatory approach for virtual currencies that acts as an effective Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regime. As stated previously, virtual currency regulation is a developing area of law. Hence, the majority of regulations discussed in this paper has not come into effect. As a result, the evaluation on the effectiveness of these regulations is only a projection based on academic sources. The recent reform on this area also means that there is a limited number of academics that evaluated these regulations. The development of technology in these past years has created a new financial medium known as the virtual currency market1. The use of virtual currencies has become wide-spread, due to the development of this financial market2. As a result, virtual currencies are in the process of becoming an international financial instrument that may hold significant economic value to the global financial market in the future. Regulations have only started responding to virtual currencies, due to their novelty. The instant growth of this financial instrument and its virtual element is bound to create unique regulatory challenges3. For this reason, this paper intends to study the different approaches regulating virtual currencies. These different regulatory approaches will be evaluated to ensure their effectiveness as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regimes. Money laundering activities without the virtual element are already considered a global economic concern4. Virtual currencies have the ability of amplifying this issue, because they pose a serious threat to functioning of financial markets if they are employed in money laundering activities5. Jurisdictions only recently have comprehended the implications of this issue, which resulted in developing this new area of law that regulates virtual currencies. The emergence of virtual currency regulations provides a conducive field of study, that is relevant to the current changes undergoing the financial system.

Book excerpt: The Palgrave Handbook of Criminal and Terrorism Financing Law focuses on how criminal and terrorist assets pose significant and unrelenting threats to the integrity, security, and stability of contemporary societies. In response to the funds generated by or for organised crime and transnational terrorism, strategies have been elaborated at national, regional, and international levels for laws, organisations and procedures, and economic systems. Reflecting on these strands, this handbook brings together leading experts from different jurisdictions across Europe, America, Asia, and Africa and from different disciplines, including law, criminology, political science, international studies, and business. The authors examine the institutional and legal responses, set within the context of both policy and practice, with a view to critiquing these actions on the grounds of effective delivery and compliance with legality and rights. In addition, the book draws upon the experiences of the many senior practitioners and policy-makers who participated in the research project which was funded by a major Arts and Humanities Research Council grant. This comprehensive collection is a must-read for academics and practitioners alike with an interest in money laundering, terrorism financing, security, and international relations.
