Part 73: CFTC vs. Civil Court vs. Arbitration – Which Path for Crypto Fraud Victims?

Part 73 of the Justice DIY series explains the difference between CFTC proceedings, civil court, and arbitration — and how crypto fraud victims can decide which path is best.

CFTC Proceedings: Victims can file complaints with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, but cases apply mainly to regulated futures or certain crypto markets. Updates go through the CFTC Complaints Section or the assigned Administrative Judge’s staff.

Arbitration: Faster and often cheaper, but usually confidential, binding, and limited in appeal.

Civil Court: The strongest tool for victims of AWS-hosted fraud and pig-butchering scams — with subpoenas, discovery rights, RICO claims, and damages against negligent providers like AWS, NameSilo, and Cloudflare.

⚖️ Each path has limits — but together they create pressure for accountability. Victims should know their options and choose the process that protects their rights.
