The biggest crime on crypto-currency is SCAM. But unfortunately most of scams are happening due to our stupid activity. Our greed is more responsible for it. We are always looking for cheap, bonus, free coin and so on. ICO's are making us fool. Scammers asking for private key for free token or airdrop coins, many stupid provide the private key. So we can say most of scam happening due to our stupidity and lazy behaviour

The best bad behavior in Crypto fiscal structures are the manner in which that private brought together associations caught the whole test and after that caused all of these issues. Satoshi did not require people to do P2P trades by methods for third part thought organizations, he required people to trade one on one.
These concentrated organizations used exploitable code and software engineers and cheats promptly gotten this and they concentrated on these vulnerabilities. So Bitcoin was not responsible for these hacks, however rather pariah centralized organizations with weak programming.

The biggest crime didn't happen yet. It will be once we let the central banks controlling the Bitcoin network. But if not, I think that it is MtGox that holds the record in the media. In term of funds for sure, all these shit ICOs are the biggest. Still, it's minimal compared to other currencies and like the currencies, Bitcoin can't be blamed but the platform people use and so these people themselves.

Just a few hacks I collected quickly from the web, as you see, only exchanges here...

Mt. Gox 850,000BTC
Bitfinex 120,000BTC
Bitcoinica 101,000BTC
Allinvain 25,000BTC
Bitfloor 24,000BTC
Bitstamp 19,000BTC
Cryptsy 313,000 LTC
Poloniex 97BTC

Actually in myetherwallet scam, I am one of the stupid bitcoiner that being scam. They sent an email as the same as the email of campaign manager at bounty asking for my info like KYC and asking my private keys.I thought it was legit because campaign manager was always sent an email update to me. So next day I found out that my coin  was stole. So I can say that scam is the biggest crime here in cryptocurrency.
That was too gullible of you how can you get an email requesting for your wallet keys and you responded to it, no bounty campaign manager will ever ask you for your private keys unless he have the intention of scamming you. No one have to right to ask for your wallet private keys apart from you.

We've heard exchange getting hacked and millions of dollar worth crypto being stolen. 
Last year, Myetherwallet was exposed and hacker penetrated and stole alot.
Scam ICO made away with millions in recent years.
Crypto traders and investors are taking precautions so as to not fall victim. This doesn't guarantee Scam free Crypto space coz right now someone is being scam.

What could be the biggest Crime in cryptocurrency
Wallets are only broken because so many people mistakenly send them their keys to them. I know a lot of facts when people were sending out their key to the wallet to participate in airdrops. As for the ICO, I think its time has passed.

In addition to hacking and fraud using fundraising, crypto is also an alternative for criminals, although the level of crypto use for crime is very low, but we can see the case of 3 criminals in the United States, one of them is Richard, he did illegal money transmitting, he operated using Bitcoin currency.

and 2 more people, Zhe wong and Szura made a transaction to buy illegal drugs using Bitcoin.

The biggest crime as we can predict is the hacking in the electronic world and crypto currencies are good enough in he market so people can steal your money with out your consent and it is the big crime for me. we are doing work in the crypto era and this is common among the modern world that most of the people use crypto for speculation and investment.

Crime in the crypto world will greatly affect the direction of crypto development as a whole. As happened in the hacking action on the exchange, the action of millions of coin theft has made the market red and the price of the majority of the coin has decreased. So this has a big impact and I hope there will be no more big crime like hacking on exchanges.

the biggest loss in cryptocurrency is when a few years ago mt gox was hacked which resulted in a loss of 850k btc or around 450m usd
I think to avoid losses it's better to keep it in the hard wallet ... because an online wallet or exchanger doesn't always guarantee security

Yeah, I heard that too, but I don't have that experience because that happens when I don't know cryptocurrency. But the crime in the cryptocurrency still happen until now, and maybe it's not got exposed, so we don't know yet. I am sure that for every people will prevent to be the next target of the crime and we need always to be careful.

The biggest crime in cryptocurrency is any kind of scam with cryptocurrency. What happen in last year we are all know, million dollars of bitcoins stolen and using these all coin's for scam with people. I think that is the biggest crime in cryptocurrency that steal coin's and abuse them all for scam with users. Million dollars of bitcoin's are abusing for cheat with people, hijacking bitcoin on bitcoin wallets and use them for more crime. It's the biggest crim in cryptocurrency which is scam with people.

The biggest crime in Crypto currencies are the fact that private centralized institutions hijacked the whole experiment and then caused all these problems. Satoshi did not want people to do P2P transactions via 3rd part centralized services, he wanted people to trade 1 on 1.

These centralized services used exploitable code and hackers and thieves quickly realized this and they targeted these vulnerabilities. So Bitcoin was not responsible for these hacks, but rather 3rd party services with weak software.  Angry

Of course! - It's pretty obvious that exchanges are the problem, not Bitcoin or the Blockchain technology.

However, i think that we need to understand that in order to attract the masses someday 3rd party centralized services are a must for that to really happen. There's a lot of people who can't really care less about learning new things. For that reason, even banks are probably needed in some degree.

I agree that the security breaches came precisely from that fact.

The biggest crime in cryptocurrency are the forks. Doubling the original coin is a crime. It's like plagiarism but with the use of paraphrasing. I don't like the idea of having a forked coin. I treated all of them as shitcoins. Especially BSV. They literally fork a forked coin.

And they are earning millions of dollars out of it. You have a point there.  Grin Imitating an established platform to gain something for themselves. What is the main use of BSV anyway? Just to put more money in the dev's pockets???
Who works behind are very intelligent making things such clean and discreetly sucking people's money without any notice, there's no real concept a pure manipulative act where investors minds got diverted to the process of forking and make them fomo's to buy in only to realize that it's just a pumped and dumped projects.

Interms of money that was lost I think its also MTGox but the biggest heist and a suspect pinned down I think it must be the crime of the people behind the Bitconnect project (BCC). BCC was one of the top project on CMC that made people think its really legit so they jump onto it.

I think it is the news that I read about Bitcoin.

Right now it is not that big of a deal since Bitcoin's technology is close to being impregnable. I've read an article that Bitcoin is hacked at an early age or early development. If I can remember at that time someone found a backdoor the reason it is hacked. I don't remember what they have done but I think they doubled the number of supplies of Bitcoin in circulation. It was fixed and everything gets back to normal, for me that is the biggest crime of cryptocurrency. I guess the second was when Mt. Gox was hacked.
