Experience and Expertise

Since the early days of cryptocurrencies, around 2013, Mr. Moszkowicz has been publishing and advocating on the legal implications of digital assets. His expertise encompasses not only the technical aspects of blockchain, smart contracts, and wallets, but also the intersection with criminal law, tax law, and international aspects of cryptocurrency matters. Key pillars of his expertise include:

 

 - Technical and Forensic Insights: Extensive experience with transaction tracing on blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, including tools for analyzing on-chain data and debunking false accusations of mixing services (e.g., Tornado Cash). He integrates forensic accounting and data analysis to determine the provenance

to prove or disprove the existence of funds.

 - Legal Strategies: Successful Challenges to Unlawful

seizures of crypto assets, based on EU regulations.

 - International Defense: Expertise in cross-border matters. He is highly experienced in

challenging extraditions, European Arrest Warrants and Interpol Red-

notices and European freezing orders.


Mr. Moszkowicz is currently leading the defense in two of Europe's largest cryptocurrency cases. In the ZKasino case, a gambling platform allegedly executed a rug pull, involving over €36 million. Mr. Moszkowicz secured his client's release in the ZKasino case.


In the other case, Mr. Moszkowicz's client is being prosecuted for alleged OTC crypto fraud worth €42 million. During the client's arrest in Marbella, Spain, €17 million in cryptocurrency was seized. In a stunning twist of fate, the clerk of the Marbella court stole the seized €17 million from the client.


Mr. Moszkowicz handles numerous other crypto-related cases, but the rules of the Dutch Bar Association only permit disclosure under specific circumstances.
