I feel like either the Monero kidnapping or Quadriga scandal as stories but as a whole i feel like sim swapping is some of the biggest crime that still is happening. Have you ever had a look at CipherTrace anual report? It's insane the details they find that are happening

It might be the Mt. gox. I mean it don't just made a history on the book of crypto currencies, since it is the biggest decline of price of Bitcoin in the books it also left a big impression and realization to people. We can take care of our Bitcoin and other crypto currencies we just need the knowledge and it can be acquired, we have the internet, if you don't like it we have the books.

What could be the biggest Crime in cryptocurrency
Remember that bitcoin savings and loan scam that happened a few years ago by that guy in Texas?  That has got to rank high up on the list of crimes, and the guy actually went to prison for it. 

Mt. Gox is #1 in my mind and always will be.  Anywho, cryptocurrency naturally attracts scammers of every stripe given that the criminals are very hard to trace and for some reason the victims rarely go to the police when they get scammed.  Seasoned bitcointalk veterans know the steps that need to be taken to protect themselves (like escrow and not dealing with newbs), but it is the newcomers to crypto that are the most vulnerable.  Unfortunately many of them will have to learn the hard way.

I think the biggest crime is the crime that is unknown to the public .
The biggest crime in crypto are happening secretly we could assume that crypto is being used as a currency for murder or any other kind of stuff.
The biggest crime could be the cleanest crime that no one would suspect that crypto is used to that crime.
That makes no sense whatsoever.

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.

Sorry about that unfortunate incident. In the future, even Donald Trump is the founder of a project, and he needed your Private keys, just know that it's finished should you give him. Private Keys are a serious issue,
Yes, i agree that scam is the biggest crime in this market, millions of money are being scammed every year and if we continue to be like this them its hard for us to grow consistently. Your situation is normal for the scammers but its your fault to give your private keys, legit campaign will never ask for this one so keep this in your mind.

There are still people that has 100% knowledge and use this in money laundering
the criminals use crypto as their media to make a crime because there are many people that dont know about bitcoin 100% and they use this situation to makes a crime, if oneday bitcoin can be the popular currency i think the criminals on bitcoin will drop and drop to the bottom

youre right. Posing problem of Hackers/scam is bringing innovations. In the name of this some people still get scammed.
I think as long as there are people who are evil and tries to scam and make easy money, they will be innovating all the way. It's just like a battle between Good and Evil, and there would never be a balance, at least for a long time. It's just like how hackers/programmers find a way to pirate an application which benefits some of the people who can't afford. I think the main difference between that is like a white hat thing vs a black hat thing.

In your statement there are these exchangers that has been hacked and million of dollars are stolen this is because they use those exchangers that has no very secure program and website. The biggest crime is when company starts a exchanger and it has been hacked.

well, however, no crime can be considered good. everything looks the same to me. well, stealing on an exchanger, cheating people with HYIP, scam ICO, all of that is not good, and I consider all of them the same. there is nothing better than crime.

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
The biggest crypto crime and the on that i think has changed the course of any investment on the internet is the ponzi scheme made by one coin site where they have walked away with more than 667 million dollar, onecoin claimed to be the bitcoin killer, that many people believed it and they invested their money their saving only to wake one day and find out they have have been scammed, to this day the founder is still on the run and the case is still not solved, with the one coin scam everyone lost their trust in these types of companies and projects.

For me, the biggest crime in cryptocurrency is "Altcoins". That was the step when other people changed the source code as they want and as a result bitcoin losses its participants. We can also see many scams and wrongdoings are mostly related to altcoins and not with bitcoin. As because bitcoin was less exposed to modification and altcoins are controlled by some individuals.

Cryptocurrencies are widely used to sell drugs, guns and porn. There are even marketplaces around the  dark web. They are illegal and at the same time pretty popular. I'm sure that internet drug stores have a huge daily volume of BTC that is passing thru them. Those numbers could be even larger than we've seen on those crypto scam reports and at the same time there should be a lot of creepy stories from the dark web where Bitcoin was used as a source of payment.

The biggest crime? For me? Is that the more I find out about actual behaviours from users, the more I realise we really are far, far away from helpful adoption. Merchants accepting Bitcoin but not actually owning a Bitcoin wallet (because they're actually just using third-party processors like BitPay). Users thinking they own Bitcoin but all they have is an account at some online wallet where they paid the exchange money, and the exchange promises to send them Bitcoin if they ever withdraw it. Investors who call themselves adopters but have never spent a single satoshi outside an exchange.

That's the crime.

What could be the biggest Crime in cryptocurrency
About this question, we have witnessed exchange hacks, scam ICO, web wallet vulnerabilities and other stuffs. Eventually this had always been part for industries
which do involves money were there are really some bad guys do really like to take advantage to gain easy money specially on crypto where anonymity is very
usable which make themselves hard to track which is the best recipe with these kind of crimes.

Hacking exchanges in my opinion is the biggest crime in cryptocurrency, because hacking exchanges can influence the world crypto market where people will be afraid of losing their money and crypto prices fall. Increasing system security regularly is one way but it still does not rule out the possibility for hackers to enter again.
I hope that there will be no more exchange hacking, behind the loss users and developers, other crypto users will also experience the impact

I think the biggest crime in cryptocurrency is a scam. Such a thing sucks. someone will never believe in cryptocurrency if they have become victims of scamming. If you no longer trust the cryptocurrency, the value will also be lost
