Revolution In Crime: How Cryptocurrencies Have Changed The Criminal Landscape, Igor Groysman
Revolution In Crime: How Cryptocurrencies Have Changed The Criminal Landscape, Igor Groysman
Student Theses
This thesis will examine the ways in which various cryptocurrencies have impacted certain traditional crimes.

Tax Compliance In A Decentralizing Economy, Manoj Viswanathan
Georgia State University Law Review
Tax compliance in the United States has long relied on information from centralized intermediaries—the financial institutions,employers, and brokers that help ensure income is reported and taxes are paid. Yet while the IRS remains tied to these centralized entities,consumers and businesses are not. New technologies, such as sharing economy platforms (companies such as Airbnb, Uber, and Instacart)and the blockchain (the platform on which various cryptocurrencies are based) are providing new, decentralized options for exchanging goods and services.
Without legislative and agency intervention, these technologies pose a critical threat to the reporting system underlying domestic and international tax compliance. Until now, legal …
