Address (cryptocurrency wallet)

A blockchain address, including those for bitcoin, is usually a placeholder to accept bitcoin transactions on a blockchain. It is simply a number to send transactions to. Along with a private key, an address is a secure identifier. Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrency addresses are different from other internet addresses in that they are only used once. A bitcoin transactor's wallet automatically generates a new address for each transaction on the blockchain.
Bitcoin addresses are usually 34 bits long and include digits 1 to 9 and both uppercase and lower letters, except uppercase letters "O" and "I" and lowercase "l". Addressing is case sensitive. When shorter addresses are observed, it is usually because one or more zeroes have been admitted from the beginning of the address.

Legal Aspects of a Career in Futures
"Technology is at the heart of our business, particularly in these electronic days, so having a lawyer who can do financial services and technology without going white and feeling sick makes a lot of sense."
In 2008, Adrienne Seaman was looking for a change, for fear of getting "bored" in her job as a partner in a London law firm. As a lawyer with a degree in computer science, she was particularly well suited to join CME Group as it began its expansion in Europe. Two weeks after she joined, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, and the wheels of regulatory change were set in motion for the entire financial market. Today she has no worries about being bored.
Seaman asks, "who in the business will be worrying about law and regulation?" The answer, of course, is everyone. In this MarketsWiki Education talk, she offers tips not only for the would-be lawyers in the room, but also the 95 percent of people in the room who will not be lawyers, but will invariably need to deal with lawyers and legal issues throughout their professional careers.

Advance Fee Fraud

Advance fee fraud is a type of confidence trick where victims are persuaded to pay upfront fees for promised goods, services, or financial gains that never materialize. This form of scam has existed for centuries but has become more prevalent with the rise of electronic communications.
== Overview ==
Advance fee fraud typically involves a fraudster offering a substantial benefit to the victim, such as a large sum of money, in exchange for a small upfront payment. The fraudster often claims this fee is necessary to cover processing costs, taxes, or other expenses. Once the victim pays, the fraudster either invents further fees or disappears entirely.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines advance fee fraud as occurring "when the victim pays money to someone in anticipation of receiving something of greater value—such as a loan, contract, investment, or gift—and then receives little or nothing in return".
== Common Variants ==
*Nigerian Prince Scam (419 Scam): Named after Section 419 of the Nigerian Criminal Code, this variant often involves emails claiming to be from Nigerian royalty or officials seeking help to transfer large sums of money.
*Lottery Scams: Victims are told they've won a lottery but must pay fees to claim their prize.
*Employment Scams: Fraudsters offer fake job opportunities requiring upfront payments for training or equipment.
*Romance Scams: Scammers build online relationships and then request money for various emergencies or travel expenses.
*Mobile Tower Installation Fraud: Common in India and Pakistan, this scam promises rental income for allowing mobile towers on one's property, requiring various upfront fees.
== Characteristics ==
Key features of advance fee fraud include:
#Unsolicited communications
#Promises of large sums of money or significant benefits
#Requests for upfront payments
#Use of official-sounding language and fake documents
#Pressure to act quickly and maintain secrecy
== Prevalence and Impact ==
Advance fee fraud is a global issue, with the United States and Great Britain receiving about 50% of such communications. In 2019, the FBI reported 14,607 U.S. victims of advance fee scams, with losses totaling over $3.5 billion.
== Prevention and Countermeasures ==
To combat advance fee fraud, various measures have been implemented:
*Government action: Nigeria established the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in 2004 to fight such crimes.
*Technology: Nigeria's EFCC adopted Microsoft's "Eagle Claw" technology in 2009 to track fraudulent emails.
*Public awareness: Governments and organizations issue warnings and educational materials about these scams.
*Scam baiting: Some individuals engage scammers in dialogue to waste their time and reduce their capacity to target actual victims.
== Legal Considerations ==
Advance fee fraud is illegal in most countries. In the United States, it falls under various fraud statutes and can result in significant fines and imprisonment.
