Lying About Assets During Divorce is Illegal
Lying about full financial disclosure during a divorce is illegal. This does not stop some husbands and wives from engaging in elaborate schemes to hide assets from their spouse. Estranged husbands are more likely to be deceptive about money, debt and finances. Husbands are becoming more creative in ways to hide assets by using electronic currency like Bitcoin.
Disclosure of Digital Banking Currency
Bitcoin is a digital currency that allows relative anonymity. Investors are able to set up a separate and parallel economy unbeknownst to their spouse. Electronic currency can be transferred quickly and virtually anonymously. Assets may be moved around between separate holdings and even to friends, making full disclosure of actual assets more difficult to enforce.
