Mark Cassidy v. Voyager Digital Ltd., et al.
Case No.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
First Amended Complaint
INTRODUCTION
1.
The Crypto Currency market is expected to reach US over $ 32 Trillion by 2027,
exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 58.4% during 2022–2027. 1 Accordingly,
there is fierce competition within the crypto currency market to obtain as many customers and
capital as quickly as possible. One of the largest, and most well attended crypto investor
conferences, is the Bitcoin 2022 Miami that was held just weeks ago here in Miami. Voyager was
not only a Main Sponsor for the Event, but also sent a large contingent to speak and participate,
including Voyager’s CEO, Steven Ehrlich and Chief Marketing Officer, Pam Kramer.
2.
Voyager has been very successful in quickly growing into the crypto currency
market. As Voyager’s CEO Steve Ehrlich proudly announced on Voyager’s investor earnings call
on February 15, 2022: “As volume and funded accounts grew, so did our assets om platform,
increasing from $4.4 billion in the September quarter to $5.9 billion at the end of the December
quarter with approximately $1 billion in net new deposits, making up the majority of the $1.4
billion increase.” 2
3.
Mr. Ehrlich’s unorthodox cryptocurrency growth strategy was simple: (1) making
his company, Voyager, open to the public and for sale on the Toronto and OTC public stock
exchanges, so that his company (unlike almost all other cryptocurrency competitors) would appear
to the public to be “regulated,” and so those that might be hesitant to buy cryptocurrency directly,
could be sucked into the market by simply buying Voyager stock, 3 and (2) deceptively designing
and marketing Voyager’s Platform, which is operated by VDL, a company that has the same CEO,
CFO, COO and General Counsel, in order to “put a lot of energy into pushing people down the
funnel and incentivize them,” 4 to attract the most investors.

“Voyager is extremely excited by the new symbol as it reflects our global brand”, said Stephen
Ehrlich, CEO of Voyager. “The Stock symbol change makes it clear to all of our customers and
investors that they can purchase Voyager stock through U.S. Brokers and is the next step in our
growth.”

Mark Cassidy v. Voyager Digital Ltd., et al.
Case No.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
First Amended Complaint
4.
Voyager’s CEO Steve Ehrlich proudly touts that “[w]e’re already self-regulating
ourselves when it comes to bringing products to retail investors.” 5 “Ehrlich adds that there is a
limited number of cryptocurrency companies abiding by this extra set of rules as a publicly traded
company.” 6
5.
The original Complaint filed in this action, specifically detailed with Expert
Reports, how Voyager’s practices were deceptive, illegal and were the sale of unregistered
securities.
6.
After this Complaint was filed, the following important actions took place:
(a) the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began an
enforcement review focused on whether Voyager’s Earn Program Accounts
(“EPAs”) constitute unregistered securities;
(b) seven state Attorney Generals (New Jersey, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma,
Texas, Vermont and Washington) took specific action finding that Voyager was
violating their state laws, including issuing “cease and desist” letters to
Voyager, finding that the EPAs, like the one Plaintiff Mark Cassidy was offered
and sold by Voyager, was an unregistered security, prohibiting the crypto-asset
broker-dealer from selling any more unregistered securities (finding that
Voyager used these EPAs to raise millions of dollars in revenue worldwide as
of March 1, 2022 (thousands of these EPAs were Florida-based);
(c) On March 29, 2002, the State of New Jersey Bureau of Securities entered a
Cease and Desist Order against Voyager, finding that the Earn Program is not
exempt from registration under the law, and instead that it must be registered—
and as a result, Voyager’s stock price tanked by 25% in a day and is down over
80% for the year; 7
(d) On February 14, 2022, crypto trader Block-Fi entered into a $50 million dollar
settlement with the state regulators and $50 million dollar settlement with the

until they were registered with state and federal securities regulators;
(e) In September 2021, the New Jersey Bureau issued a Summary Cease and Desist
Order against Celsius Network LLC, whose unlawful unregistered securities
had raised at least $14 billion nationwide; 8 and,
(f) the largest cypto exchange, COINBASE, dropped all plans to offer the same
lending rewards program after the SEC threated to sue them. 9
7.
Voyager’s CEO, Steve Ehrlich, told his investors, and the public, on his last
investor call, that Voyager is now determining what to do in regards to all of these state and federal
investigations: “… that’s a conversation between myself, out internal GC, our advisors. And we
have a very, very deep team, and we’re evaluating all that at this point in time.” 10
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
8.
Voyager describes itself as “a fast-growing, publicly traded cryptocurrency
platform in the United States founded in 2018 to bring choice, transparency, and cost efficiency to
the marketplace.” 11 Voyager was first listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSX.V) under the
symbol VYGR.V in February of 2019. 12 In September 2019, Voyager Digital Ltd was listed on
the Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE) under the symbol VYGR.CN. In 2021, Voyager announced
its approval to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the new ticker symbol VOYG
and de-list from the CSE.
9.
Voyager stock is also available Over-the-Counter (OTC) through many US
brokerages and can be purchased in the state of Florida and throughout the United States via the
symbol VYGVF. Voyager has quickly become one of the most utilized avenues for nascent

First Amended Complaint
investors to purchase cryptocurrency, and thus has already reaped hundreds of millions of dollars
in revenue since 2019, which is increasing exponentially every week.
10.
Voyager’s founder and CEO, Stephen Ehrlich, who is also the CEO of nearly every
other Voyager wholly-owned subsidiary, including VDL, explains that Voyager “made the
decision to go public early in our company history. This was an unconventional choice for a cryptocompany in 2019 but proved beneficial for our customers and our platform.” 13 Ehrlich goes on to
explain:
Here are three reasons why Voyager and our customers benefit from a
public structure.
1) Transparency
We believe that our users deserve transparency when it comes to their finances.
As a public company, we are held to the highest standards. We are legally required
to disclose both quarterly and annual reports as well as conduct public filings for
mergers, acquisitions, insider trading, securities transactions by company insiders,
and ownership changes. We also have an obligation to act in the best interest of our
shareholders and drive value to their investments. Furthermore, our shareholders
have a voice in our future, and a vested interest in our success.
2) Bridging the gap between traditional finance and crypto
A public structure enables us to create opportunities for investors who want
exposure to the crypto markets by investing in companies like Voyager through
stock offerings.
Equities traders have the opportunity to invest in the crypto industry by buying
shares of Voyager, even if they do not directly invest in crypto. We believe that this
type of exposure will help more people become comfortable with the crypto market
and ultimately increase widespread adoption.
3) Opportunity for growth
We decided to go public early in our growth trajectory, which gave Voyager an
alternate avenue for company growth while also empowering everyday equities
traders the opportunity to back an emerging crypto company.

Case No.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
First Amended Complaint
By going public, we keep our doors open to all who see the potential for growth at
Voyager and the crypto economy.
11.
What Ehrlich does not disclose in his blog, however, is that he intentionally
structured Voyager to siphon as much profit off American consumers as possible while
simultaneously preventing them from ever being able to effectively vindicate their rights when
Voyager wrongs them, as Plaintiff is attempting to do here on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated. As Voyager explains in its Annual Information Form for Fiscal Year 2021: 14
[Voyager] is a corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia, Canada;
however its principal place of business is in the United States. Most of [Voyager’s]
directors and officers, [Voyager’s] auditors, and the majority of [Voyager’s] assets,
are located in the United States.
It may be difficult for customers in the United States to effect service of process
within the United States upon those directors who are not residents of the United
States or to enforce against them judgments of the United States courts based upon
civil liability under the United States federal securities laws or the securities laws
of any state within the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in
Canada against [Voyager] or against any of its non-United States directors, in
original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts
of liabilities based solely upon the United States federal securities laws or securities
laws of any state within the United States.
12.
Voyager’s disdain for being held accountable for its actions by the legal system and
its penchant for gamesmanship continue throughout this litigation. Initially, Plaintiff’s counsel
were contacted approximately one year ago by numerous aggrieved consumers who had serious
concerns about Voyager’s business practices. Essentially, these consumers and experts concluded
that Voyager was conducting an inherently rigged game, fueled by specific misrepresentations and
lies.
13.
Counsel spent the following months focusing on two main projects:
a. investigating and researching, along with some of the top cryptocurrency experts
in the United States and Europe, to not only prepare allegations regarding
Voyager’s unlawful actions, but to generate preliminary expert reports with
supporting evidence as to these allegations and a set plan for managing discovery
of the disputed issues to confirm the allegations, and

Case No.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
First Amended Complaint
b. researching and concluding that there was no enforceable arbitration clause and/or
class action waiver executed by Plaintiff Mark Cassidy that precluded him from
filing this action before this Court. 15
14.
When Plaintiff first filed his 29-page complaint, along with over two hundred pages
of exhibits, including two comprehensive preliminary Expert Reports, however, Voyager’s then
Chief Communications Officer, Michael Legg (since this Complaint was filed and his deposition
was specifically noticed, Voyager “immediately” took him off of the Voyager Website and he was
given a different position), within barely an hour after receiving a copy of the pleading, wrote on
behalf of Voyager to the press that “This action is absolutely spurious and without any merit
whatsoever. We look forward to dealing with this matter through the appropriate legal channels.”
Legg Tr. 38:19–39:20.
15.
As a result of some initial, nefarious conduct by Voyager, Plaintiff was required to
file a Motion for Order to Show Cause and noticed Voyager Digital LLC for deposition on three
topics. See ECF No. 25. Voyager Digital LLC refused to produce any deponent and instead filed
a Motion to Stay, [ECF No. 29], along with Defendants’ Motion to Compel Arbitration and to
Dismiss this case [ECF No. 28]. Defendants included in their Motion to Compel Arbitration, for
the first time, arguments that, as a factual matter were beyond the four corners of Plaintiff’s
complaint, such as that the Court does not have personal jurisdiction over Defendant Voyager
Digital LTD.
16.
While Defendants had exclusive access to all materials relevant to the Court’s
determination of whether Plaintiff and either Defendant entered into an enforceable arbitration
agreement, they selectively produced some cherry-picked information in their Motion and asked
this Court to refuse to allow Plaintiff to take even limited discovery necessary to uncover all of the
relevant facts to test Defendants’ assertions. For instance, Defendants claimed that Plaintiff is
specifically bound by a January 2021 User Agreement with VDL to arbitrate all claims, but then
confusingly attaches four additional revised versions and claim that “notice was sent to customers”
regarding one of the revisions, two days after the revision was implemented, though asserts that
15
At this early pleading stage of the litigation, the Court initially will only need to find that Plaintiff
has standing to assert his claims and is not bound by an arbitration clause, and not whether all, or
even any, other class members may be bound by such revised agreements.

First Amended Complaint
they are all materially the same [ECF No. 28, 10–11; ECF No. 28-1 ¶¶ 14–21]. Defendants
stipulate that Voyager is not a party or signatory to VDL’s User Agreement but maintain that
Voyager should still be entitled to enforce its arbitration provision against Plaintiff, assuming any
such agreement with VDL was formed [ECF No. 28 at 16–21]. Defendants also claimed that
Voyager is “a foreign holding company with no operations or employees,” and that VDL
“operates” the Voyager Platform. Id. 8; [ECF No. 28-1 ¶ 5].
17.
This Court, through careful analysis, saw through the Defendants’ ruse, calling their
arguments “nonsense,” and afforded Plaintiff the opportunity to take limited discovery before
filing this amended complaint. [ECF No. 36]. In conducting its analysis, the Court noted, among
other things, that the evidence Plaintiff attached to his original complaint showed that In Voyager
Ltd.’s March 2021 earnings call, one of its representatives stated, “We’re at 49 states today. We
offer our services in 49 states. It’s only New York that we’re not —we don’t offer this service.”
Id. (citing Compl., Ex. G, March 3, 2021 Earnings Call [ECF No. 1-8] 17; see id. 2 (“[W]elcome
to Voyager Digital Limited earnings call.” (alteration added)). The Court noted that “[i]t is possible
that the representative meant to reference Voyager Digital, LLC, when he used ‘we,’ but this
ambiguity only accentuates the need for jurisdictional discovery.” Id.
18.
Discovery, however, only further reinforced that Voyager does, in fact, conduct
business throughout the United States, including Florida. In response to the question, “[w]as
Voyager doing business in 49 states except for the State of New York when you were there?”
Voyager’s former Chief Communications Officer, Michael Legg, testified “Here is my answer to
this. We do business in New York. We don’t have customers in New York. We do business in
every state. We do business internationally, okay.” Legg Tr. 26:5–21 (emphasis added).
19.
Why did Defendants fight so vociferously against submitting to even limited
discovery? Because they did not want to afford Plaintiff the opportunity to reveal the illusory
nature of the VDL User Agreement, or that their claims that Voyager is merely a holding company
with no operations or employees were false.
20.
The corporate representative for VDL confirmed in deposition testimony that
VDL’s regular practice is that it not only unilaterally “makes continuous revisions” to the User
Agreement, but it also undertakes a conscious effort to ensure that its customers are not notified
of the changes—VDL does not even have a phone number to contact customer support—so that

customers can actually decide whether they agree to them before VDL attempts to bind them, as
was the case with Plaintiff:
Q. I’m asking you do you know why, when Voyager makes continuous revisions
to the User Agreement -- and you’re aware of that, right? Every couple –
A. Yeah.
Q. -- months or years there’s changes to this agreement?
...
THE WITNESS: Yes.
Q. Okay. Why -- for those subsequent changes that are made why doesn’t Voyager
just follow the same easy process of having this “click this button,” and if you click
it, then you could go back, type in the user ID, and you can see, simply, if they
clicked it and read it or even received it. Why don’t you do that?
A. I don’t know.
Q. Have you ever asked anybody?
A. No.
Q. Do you know of any reason, sitting here today as the director of operations that’s
in charge of the Voyager Platform User Agreement, why Voyager can’t do this
same process for subsequent amendments?
...
THE WITNESS: No.
LLC Tr. (Exhibit C) 48:11–49:9
THE WITNESS: In reviewing the -- the terms he agreed to it’s discussed that as
the -- that they may change and that they’re where they’re available and that he can
go look at them and make sure that he’s still in agreement with them.
Q. But how would he know that those changes have been made?
...
THE WITNESS: That would be his responsibility.
LLC Tr. 53:20–54:6
Q. Okay. And just so I’m perfectly clear, regardless of whether Voyager lets Mr.
Cassidy know that there’s been an amendment, it’s Mr. Cassidy’s responsibility on
his own to go find out and monitor the site to make sure there’s no changes made?

THE WITNESS: Yes. The user, after they’ve agreed to it, is -- that is part of what
they are agreeing to.
LLC Tr. 56:16–24
Q. Okay. So Pam [Kramer, Voyager’s Chief Marketing Officer] writes “Also, based
on the specific updates, do you think this warrants an email to customers? This
summary is very helpful in that regard. So what we just looked at in the email, the
form email, that was sent out that you testified about dated April 16th [sic], that
didn’t provide a summary to any of the customers. It just said your user agreement
has been updated, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you know why the internal summary that Voyager was aware of isn’t
provided to the customers of Voyager?
...
THE WITNESS: No.
Q. Okay. As the corporate rep today with the person with the most knowledge about
the unifor- -- the User Agreements, including any revisions thereto, have you ever
spoke to anybody about providing your customers with a summary of the changes?
A. No.
...
Q. I mean, wouldn’t you think that would be helpful if somebody wanted to know?
A. I suppose it could be helpful for some people.
LLC Tr. 75:4–76:16
Q. [Plaintiff] says under oath he reviewed your declaration in support of the motion
and he said “I did not receive the April 18th email notifying of the April 16th update
to the Customer Agreement,” that you had testified went out to this mass mailing
of 1.2 million.
My question is very simple. Do you have any shred of evidence, anything, to
indicate that he is wrong and that he did receive that email, not that the mass
marketing email went out, but that he, in fact, received it?
...
THE WITNESS: I -- I personally do not, no.
...
Q. Okay. Number 9, he says “I did not receive any email, notifications, or any other
form of actual notice of any other versions of the Customer Agreement referenced
in Shannon Casey’s declaration.”

First Amended Complaint
You have no evidence, standing here today, that he did, in fact, receive any of those
other notices, correct?
A. What other notices?
Q. Any other notices.
A. I’m just not sure what you’re referring to.
Q. Mr. Cassidy says: I didn’t receive any emails, any notifications, or any other
form of actual notice of any other versions of the Customer Agreement referred to
in Shannon Casey’s declaration.
You talked about six different modifications that were done over time. Mr. Cassidy
under oath is saying I never received any of those.
Do you, sitting here today, have any evidence to show that Mr. Cassidy received
any of these other updates or emails?
A. No. We only sent the update on the April 18th email.
LLC Tr. 94:7–96:25
Q. Okay. Paragraph 10 says after he – Users apparently can’t contact Defendants
by phone regarding the questions of their account. Is that correct? Is there a number
that I can call and say, hey, I’m having a problem logging in to my account, can
you help me, Voyager LLC?
A. That’s correct, there’s -- we do not have phone support.
LLC Tr. 99:4–11

Discovery further revealed deficiencies in the January 2021 version of the User
Agreement. Janice Barrillueax, Voyager’s Chief Administrative Officer, in reviewing the January
2021 version of the User Agreement, advised that “I just think that we need to be aware that things
[sic] grossly outdated” and that customers “need to be put in their little corner.”
VOYAGER_001890. Later, David Brosgol, Voyager’s General Counsel, agreed with Janice and
stated that, rather than simply revise the January 2021 User Agreement in effect when Plaintiff
created his Voyager account, “it seems that it might be best to do a significant overhaul.”
VOYAGER_001894.
22.
Further, discovery revealed that, prior to July 26, 2021, not only did VDL never
submit any version of its arbitration provision to the AAA for review, but when it finally did, the
AAA determined that the requirements that “the arbitration will occur in New Jersey and will be
conducted confidentially by a single, neutral arbitrator” constituted “a material or substantial

deviation from the Consumer Rules and/or Protocol” and requested that VDL waive those
requirements for all future consumer arbitrations under the User Agreement. 16
23.
Under these circumstances, especially where VDL fully retains the unfettered right
to unilaterally modify the User Agreement at will without providing advance notice to its
customers, applicable law holds that no agreement has been formed. Thus, not only was Plaintiff
not bound by any amendments to the VDL User Agreement, he did not enter into any agreement
to arbitrate (or delegate issues of arbitrability) with VDL.
24.
Discovery also revealed that Defendants’ sworn statement that Voyager Digital
LTD has “no operations or employees” and “does not . . . market the Voyager Platform,” [ECF
No. 28-1 ¶ 5], was a false statement. For instance, Voyager explained during its Q2 2022 earnings
call that “[b]y the end of calendar 2021, we had 250 employees, 3.2 million verified users and
1.074 million funded accounts with over $5.9 billion of assets on the platform. This level of growth
makes Voyager one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrency platforms in the industry and one of the
largest in the United States. Based on data obtained from one of our investment banking partners,
Voyager was third on the list of fastest-growing public companies listed on any U.S. exchange
including the OTC markets, based on revenue growth in calendar 2021 with $416 million of
revenue, up from just $6.6 million for the calendar year 2020.” 17
25.
Moreover, Voyager markets and offers for sale unregistered securities in the form
of cryptocurrency interest-earning accounts. Since Voyager first introduced these unregistered
securities to consumers in Florida and throughout the United States in November 2019, it has
referred to them by various names, including the “Voyager Interest Program” or the “Voyager
Earn Program Account” (collectively, the “EPA”). As Voyager LTD’s former Chief
Communications Officer, Michael Legg, explained in his deposition taken in this case, “[t]here’s
always been a program in place to earn yield. How the terminology has been around it has
evolved.” Legg 43:24–44:1.
16
See VOYAGER_001951–52.
Ex. A. Moreover, Legg confirmed in his testimony that (1) every press release was cleared by
Stephen Ehrlich as CEO of Voyager Digital Ltd.; and (2) every statement made during the earnings
calls was “100 percent accurate at that time.” Legg Tr. excerpts (Exhibit D), 15:2–12; 17:14–18:2

26.
As explained below, the reasoning for that change in terminology has been to avoid
the reality—that the EPAs are, in fact, securities that must be registered with the SEC and state
analogs.
27.
Voyager never registered the EPAs with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) or with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”).
28.
Not only that, but Voyager has spent tens of millions of dollars from capital raises
to fund marketing efforts throughout the United States, including in the state of Florida, to market,
offer and sell EPAs through various internet and social media campaigns across state lines to
consumers, including Plaintiff. The results have been for Voyager to earn, in turn, tens of millions
of dollars in revenue from the EPA investments.
29.
Plaintiff’s original complaint, including the extensive preliminary expert report of
Rich Sanders of CipherBlade, went into great detail regarding the inherent risks and issues with
the fact that Voyager was offering for sale the EPAs without the necessary registration with federal
and state regulatory entities or the oversight that follows that registered status. 18
30.
After Plaintiff filed the original complaint, in February 2022, the SEC charged
Voyager’s competitor, BlockFi, with failing to register the offers and sales of its retail crypto
lending product—a nearly identical offering to Voyager’s EPA, called the BlockFi Interest
Account. 19 BlockFi settled those claims with the SEC and paid $100 million in fines and agreed
to cease its unregistered offers and sales of the BlockFi Interest Accounts, to bring its business
within the provisions of the Investment Company Act, and to register under the Securities Act of
1933 the offer and sale of a new lending product. 20
31.
Shortly after the BlockFi settlement was announced, Stephen Ehrlich, CEO and co-
founder of Voyager, explained during the Q2 2022 earnings call for Voyager Digital Ltd, that: 21
Lastly, we want to address the recent news about the SEC order in the matter of
BlockFi lending LLC. We recognize that this is a significant development in the
industry and will provide a potential regulatory path for market participants. We

represents their risk (“Sanders Supp.”).

also understand that some may view Voyager’s rewards program to be similar to
BlockFi interest accounts. While we understand the temptation to bucket them
together, we think there are important differences between Voyager’s program and
BlockFi’s that we think have legal significance.
That said, we are in ongoing discussions with regulators about the rewards program,
and it is, of course, possible that regulators may have a different view. Under the
circumstances, we think it’s important to confirm that Voyager has received
requests and subpoenas from the SEC and certain states in connection with the
rewards program as part of nonpublic fact-finding inquiries. Of course, we believe
that Voyager accounts that earn rewards comply with existing U.S. law and look
forward to demonstrating that as necessary. We think it is normal and appropriate
for financial service firms, especially in the crypto industry with these evolving
regulatory frameworks to receive inquiries from regulators and law enforcement.
When Voyager received such requests, our policy is to cooperate fully, but we limit
public discussion as these matters are always evolving and as a public company,
Voyager is subject to important rules regarding disclosures about its business.
32.
Two weeks after Voyager made these statements to its investors, on March 30,
2022, Voyager issued a press release revealing that it was served with orders from various state
securities divisions, including New Jersey and Alabama, ordering Voyager to cease and desist its
offer and sale of the EPAs as they constitute unregistered securities. 22 As Voyager admits, “The
Voyager Earn Program is the only Voyager product subject to the Orders. No other products and
services offered by the Company are noted in the Orders.” 23
33.
As Stephen Ehrlich, CEO and co-founder of Voyager, also explained, “I want to
emphasize to our shareholders and customers that only one of our products is noted in the Orders.
Voyager has always recognized that the US regulatory framework must evolve, and in some cases
completely transform, to address the needs of the rapidly expanding crypto sector. Historically,
Voyager has advocated for thoughtful regulation, which is a natural progression for this asset class.
We believe tailored regulation will spur increased confidence and adoption of crypto assets.
Nonetheless, Voyager continues to pursue its strategy to innovate and grow the business and
position the Company as a leader in the crypto asset market.” 24 As explained more fully, below,

Case No.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
First Amended Complaint
Voyager’s offering and selling the EPAs, which are unregistered securities, violates federal and
state securities laws.
34.
VDL, on the other hand, operates the multi-billion-dollar mobile application
cryptocurrency investment service (the “Deceptive Voyager Platform”), owned by Voyager, that
places cryptocurrency trade orders on behalf of users like Plaintiff and Class Members.
Specifically targeted to young and inexperienced investors, who are certainly new to
cryptocurrency trading and mainly utilize mobile apps (rather than any sophisticated software) for
trading, through the use of youth-forward marketing are uniform representations that the Deceptive
Voyager Platform is “100% Commission-Free,” while also assuring customers that they will
receive the best possible price on cryptocurrency trades. As will be explained with extensive expert
support, these statements and representations are false, misleading and certainly violate numerous
state and federal consumer statutes.
35.
The Deceptive Voyager Platform is based upon false pretenses, false
representations, and is specifically designed to take advantage of investors that utilize mobile apps
to make their investments, in an unfair, unsavory, and deceptive manner. Simply put, Plaintiffs
will prove that the Deceptive Voyager Platform is a house of cards, built on false promises and
factually impossible representations that were specifically designed to take advantage of the
cryptocurrency craze to the direct detriment of any ordinary investor.
36.
VDL offers what it misleadingly claims to be “100% Commission-Free”
cryptocurrency trading services, in order to unfairly obtain an edge over their competition, such as
Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, or Binance, who openly disclose the commissions and fees they charge
on cryptocurrency trades. This tactic directly evolved from the alleged “no commission”
alternatives offered by numerous brokerage houses in the 1980s.
37.
In reality and unbeknownst to unsuspecting and largely unsophisticated consumers
(especially considering that cryptocurrency is an emerging and innovative market with differences
from traditional stock exchanges not appreciated by the average retail consumer), VDL never
discloses that they intentionally set the pricing on the Voyager Platform high enough that they do,
in fact, collect exorbitant hidden commissions on every cryptocurrency trade.
38.
Capitalizing on their customers’ naivete by using their proprietary systems to throw
up smoke screens, including “Smart Order Routing,” the “Voyager Pricing Engine,” and the

“Proprietary Fills Algorithm,” numerous experts explain that VDL places their own financial
interests at the forefront, and are able to collect on average what is likely to be more in hidden
commissions than their competition collect from their disclosed commissions.
39.
The very public support from the Dallas Mavericks and their owner, Mark Cuban,
including their recent massive investment in the Deceptive Voyager Platform, gives a great
illustration of how this marketing is targeting unsophisticated investors with false and misleading
promises of reaping large profits in the cryptocurrency market.
40.
Mark Cuban recently spoke at a Dallas Mavericks press conference, conducted over
the internet, where he strongly supported and touted the partnership between his company and
Voyager. Mr. Cuban proudly described how he would personally help significantly increase scope
and presence of the Deceptive Voyager Platform for those with limited funds and experience:
You know, there’s a lot of hype, there’s a lot of discussion, but most people don’t
understand the fundamentals behind it. We’re going to try to bring that level of
education to our fans and to our joint customers.”
To put it simply: there’s untapped potential in the future of digital currencies and
it’s an attractive investment for novice investors who might only have $100 to start.
That’s where Voyager enters the picture.
In other words, it’s a way to earn high returns while also getting skin in the game
and the Voyager platform makes the process easy and simplified for fans of all ages.
The 60+ crypto assets allows you to build a diverse portfolio from a single account.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money in order to learn. It’s not like the stock
market where it’s almost impossible, except on a few platforms, to spend $10 and
get started. My now 12-year-old son got me in Dogecoin when it was less than a
penny. I was like “let’s do this” because it’s a cheap way for him to learn how all
of this works. While you have to put in a $100 to get the $100 bonus the next two
days, if you don’t have a hundred dollars and you just want to download the app
and put in $5 and buy SHIBA INU (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE), there’s a lot of
ways to inexpensively start. 25
41.
Voyager’s President and Chief Officer, Steve Ehrlich agreed with Mr. Cuban and
added as follows:
That’s one of the advantages of Voyager. You can actually download the app and
fund your account and trade in three minutes or less. We make it really simple. We
have a very easy-to-use and integrative platform that allows you to get engaged in

the crypto market very quickly. That’s one of the values of Voyager. You’ll be
trading in three minutes or less.
About 220 million people have crypto right now and we (anticipate) a billion in
four years. So that shows you where we can actually go with crypto and crypto
adoption. Now the comparison there is the internet. It took the internet eight years,
for the same time frame, for the internet to grow that fast. So it’s a great time to
enter the space and learn more. 26
42.
VDL’s representations and marketing materials regarding the “100% Commission-
Free” Voyager Platform are false, deceptive, and are objectively very likely to deceive average
consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances. Accordingly, VDL’s conduct violates the
New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, N.J.S.A. 56:8-1, et seq., (“NJCFA”) and the Florida Deceptive
and Unfair Trade Practices Act, §§ 501.201, et seq., Florida Statutes (“FDUTPA”).
43.
Plaintiff thus seeks damages and restitution on behalf of himself and the Class
members, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief to put an end to VDL’s unfair and deceptive
marketing and sales practices.
PARTIES
44.
Plaintiff is a citizen of the State of Florida residing in Broward County, Florida. He
is a natural person over the age of 21 and is otherwise sui juris.
45.
Defendant Voyager is an entity existing and incorporated pursuant to the laws of
British Columbia, Canada, is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and maintains
a principal place of business in 33 Irving Place, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10003. Defendant
Voyager, for purposes of this action, is therefore a citizen of New York.
46.
Defendant VDL is an entity existing and incorporated pursuant to the laws of
Delaware, with its principal place of business in Jersey City, New Jersey. Defendant VDL is
therefore a citizen of Delaware and New Jersey.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
47.
This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over claims under the Securities Act
pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 78aa and §1331, and supplemental jurisdiction over the entire action under
28 U.S.C. § 1367. Further, this Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(2)(A) because this is a class action for a sum exceeding $5,000,000.00,
exclusive of interest and costs, and in which at least one class member is a citizen of a state
different than the Voyager Defendants. Additionally, this Court has subject matter jurisdiction over
this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1) as Plaintiff, a Florida citizen, brings his individual
claims against Delaware, New Jersey, or New York citizens, and given the nature of the claims
and the declaratory and injunctive relief sought, the amount in controversy is greater than
$75,000.00, exclusive of interest and costs.
48.
This Court has jurisdiction over Voyager because it is a foreign corporation
authorized to conduct business in Florida, is doing business in Florida, has registered with the State
of Florida, or does sufficient business in Florida, has sufficient minimum contacts with Florida, or
otherwise intentionally avails itself of the Florida consumer market through the promotion,
marketing, and sale of its EPAs in Florida, to Plaintiff and all those similarly situated, which
constitutes committing a tortious act within the state of Florida.
49.
For example, Voyager sells its stock OTC throughout the United States, including
specifically in the state of Florida to Florida residents. As another example. in November 2020,
Voyager hired Natalie Jaeger as the Head of Digital Marketing, and promptly began “a more
aggressive marketing strategy which included digital advertising, increased social marketing, and
increased influencer marketing using crypto centric influencers and professional athletes.” 27 Part
of this aggressive marketing strategy, in addition to increased direct targeted marketing to
consumers, has been to introduce an “interest rate hike campaign” known as “March Interest
Mania,” where Voyager increased the rates of interest it would pay to customers to whom it had
offered and sold EPAs. 28
50.
As a result of this increased marketing, Voyager enjoyed explosive growth
throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2021, Voyager closed on a private
placement offering of 8,363,637 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately
$46.0 million. 29 In February 2021, Voyager closed on a private placement offering of 7,633,588

shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million. 30 Unsurprisingly,
Voyager allocated 50% of this increased budget towards marketing EPAs so it could “get that
market share that we’re grabbing from everybody else right now and keeping accelerating the land
grab.” 31
51.
In addition to marketing and offering the EPAs for sale to U.S. consumers,
including those in Florida, Voyager Digital LTD received revenue from lending and staking
activities as a result of receiving investments in the EPAs from consumers like Plaintiff and
similarly situated Florida residents. For fiscal year 2021, Voyager generated approximately $21
million in fees on crypto assets loaned. 32 As Voyager’s CFO, Evan Psaropoulos, explained in
Voyager’s latest earnings call, Voyager earned during Q2 of fiscal year 2022 “approximately $57
million in lending and staking activities.” 33
52.
This purposeful availment renders the exercise of jurisdiction by this Court over
Voyager permissible under traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.
53.
Further, and alternatively, jurisdiction over Voyager is proper in that Voyager and
VDL (1) have common stock ownership; (2) have common business departments; (3) file
consolidated financial statements and tax returns; (4) do not keep separate their daily operations;
and (5) share at least the following Executive Officers in common, who have the following
overlapping duties and responsibilities across Voyager and its subsidiaries, including VDL:

For example, discovery has demonstrated that for the calendar year 2021 alone,
Voyager received nearly $29 million in trading revenue from VDL—which is separate from
Voyager’s interest revenue from the EPAs. Further, Voyager allocated funds from its
approximately $200 million in capital raises to finance VDL’s marketing of the Voyager Platform,
Moreover, discovery has uncovered evidence that Voyager finances VDL’s operations, provides
compensation to VDL’s employees in the form of, among other things, various stock options and

other monetary compensation and incentives, and treats VDL’s property as its own, such has when
both utilize the investvoyager website for marketing and selling their various products and
communicating with Voyager’s investors. For these alternative reasons, too, then, jurisdiction over
Voyager is proper.
55.
This Court has jurisdiction over VDL because it is a foreign corporation authorized
to conduct business in Florida, is doing business in Florida, has registered with the State of Florida,
or does sufficient business in Florida, has sufficient minimum contacts with Florida, or otherwise
intentionally avails itself of the Florida consumer market through the promotion, marketing, and
sale of the Voyager Platform in Florida. This purposeful availment renders the exercise of
jurisdiction by this Court over VDL permissible under traditional notions of fair play and
substantial justice. Notably, Defendants have not contested and have instead admitted that this
Court has personal jurisdiction over VDL throughout this litigation.
56.
Venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. § 1391 because the Voyager
Defendants each maintain substantial operations in this District; thousands of Class Members
either reside or did business with the Voyager Defendants in this District; the Voyager Defendants
engaged in business in this District; a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the
claims at issue occurred in this District; and because the Voyager Defendants entered into
transactions and received substantial profits from Class Members who reside in this District.
Venue is further proper pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 78aa.
57.
All conditions precedent to the institution and maintenance of this action have been
performed, excused, waived, or have otherwise occurred.
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
A. Voyager’s Offer and Sale of EPAs Extensively in the State of Florida and Throughout
the United States
58.
On October 23, 2019, Voyager began offering EPAs for sale to consumers
throughout the United States, including the state of Florida. Voyager initially launched the EPAs
for customers holding Bitcoin, but thereafter extended them periodically to include dozens of other
crypto assets, including USDC and Ethereum through end of fiscal year 2021.

First Amended Complaint
59.
According to Voyager’s Annual Information Form filed with Canadian regulators,
“Rewards earned on crypto assets are variable, and reward rates are determined by Voyager at its
sole discretion.” 34
60.
For fiscal year 2021, Voyager generated approximately $21 million in fees on
crypto assets loaned. 35 Voyager earned during Q2 of fiscal year 2022 “approximately $57 million
in lending and staking activities.” 36 To generate this revenue, Voyager independently negotiates
with institutional borrowers the terms of each unsecured institutional loan agreement, and selects
which and how much of its crypto assets are available for such lending activity. In the event of
bankruptcy or insolvency of an institutional borrower under a loan, Voyager bears the credit risk
of lending crypto assets under the loan. 37
61.
Voyager maintains that it does not support, custody, intermediate, or facilitate any
transaction or activities with respect to any product that constitutes a “security,” and, therefore,
believes that it is not required to be registered in any capacity under applicable United States
securities laws. 38 Voyager’s conclusion is apparently drawn from its position that although the
SEC had previously communicated to industry participants that it will apply existing securities
laws, including the Howey Test, a four-part test developed by the U.S. Supreme Court to determine
whether a particular “investment contract” is a security, to digital assets, the Howey Test is almost
75 years old, was not designed with digital assets in mind, and its application is fact-based. 39
62.
At the same time, Voyager acknowledges that “it is possible that the SEC could
come to a different conclusion” than Voyager, which “could result in [Voyager] being required to
become registered, removing certain digital assets from its platform, or being required to cease
certain of its operations.” 40
63.
As Plaintiff’s expert, Rich Sanders, explains in his supplemental report Voyager’s
Earn program is functionally nearly entirely identical to similar programs offered by firms such as

Celsius and BlockFi. 41 The differences between these companies and their respective programs
are extremely minimal; as some examples, differences come down to phrasing (use of words like
“interest” versus “rewards”), how frequently rewards are paid out (daily, weekly, or monthly, most
commonly) or specific cryptocurrencies that are offered as part of the program. 42
64.
Just like BlockFi settled with regulators, as explained above, Celsius, another
Voyager competitor with a nearly identical “earn” program, quickly followed suit by revising their
“earn” program by introducing “Celsius’ Custody Solution,” which only allows accredited U.S.
investors to earn rewards on their crypto asset holdings. 43 To-date, Sanders explains, Voyager has
not taken any similar actions, noting that “it is possible that Voyager instead opts to (continue to)
benefit from the influx of users from BlockFi and Celsius, opting to take this action at a future date
– whether voluntarily or by being compelled to do so.” 44
65.
In further describing the risks that stem from Voyager’s offering and sale of the
EPAs as unregistered securities, Sanders goes on to explain: 45
There have been extensive releases, statements, and actions from
government agencies related to cryptocurrency in recent history. Secretary Yellen’s
remarks on digital assets leave no room for mystery. The first priority includes
consumer protection; this is not accidental. The fifth priority states equitable access
to safe and affordable financial services. To state the obvious, it is the opposite of
safe to invest a significant portion of your net worth (let alone your life’s savings)
into activity such as DeFi staking. To invest a significant portion of someone else’s
net worth into activity such as DeFi staking, while painting a picture of far different
asset use, adds a layer of dishonesty on top of risk.
Customers of firms like BlockFi and Voyager are led to believe that their
assets are being utilized largely by reputable institutions, not that their assets are
being day-traded on platforms like Binance or utilized for extremely high-risk DeFi
activity. In simpler terms, the risk and reward of loaning Ethereum to a reputable
and audited western institution, as opposed to rehypothecation of that Ethereum
into DeFi yield farming, are on entirely different ends of the spectrum. The risk
associated with this reality transcends not just risk for the misled customers of firms

like Voyager and BlockFi that stand to lose significant portions of their net worth,
but would be something I would categorize as an item of national security interest:
an increased likelihood of a hack means an increased likelihood of siphoning of
hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars’ worth of value out of the western
economy and into the hands of, for example, North Korea. 46 While true a western
institution using loaned Bitcoin for arbitrage trading could be hacked, this is
generally a less likely threat than the risk of a DeFi hack. In short, companies like
Voyager and BlockFi misrepresent the risk of utilizing their interest/earn programs
since they misrepresent what customer assets are used for, disregarding and
concealing risk, for the sake of making a risky quick buck.
66.
Under federal securities laws as construed by the United States Supreme Court in
its decision SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293 (1946) and by the SEC, an investment contract
is a form of security under United States securities laws when (1) the purchaser makes an
investment of money or exchanges another item of value (2) in a common enterprise (3) with the
reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others. Voyager’s EPAs offered
and sold to Plaintiff and similarly situated consumers were a “security” as defined by the United
States securities laws and as interpreted by the Supreme Court, the federal courts, and the SEC.
67.
The Securities Act and the Exchange Act were designed to “eliminate serious
abuses in a largely unregulated securities market.” United Housing Found., Inc. v. Forman, 421
U.S. 837, 849 (1975). They are focused, among other things, “on the capital market of the
enterprise system: the sale of securities to raise capital for profit-making purposes . . . and the need
for regulation to prevent fraud and to protect the interest of investors. Id. Under Section 2(a)(1) of
the Securities Act and Section 3(a)(10) of the Exchange Act, a security includes any “note.” See
15 U.S.C. §§ 77b & 78c. A note is presumed to be a security unless it falls into certain judiciallycreated categories of financial instruments that are not securities, or if the note in question bears a
“family resemblance” to notes in those categories based on a four-part test. See Reves v. Ernst &
Young, 494 U.S. 56, 64–66 (1990), and its progeny. Applying the Reves four-part analysis, the
EPAs were notes and thus securities. First, Voyager offered and sold EPAs to obtain crypto assets
for the general use of its business, namely to run its lending and investment activities to pay interest
to EPA investors, and purchasers bought EPAs to receive interest on the loaned crypto assets.

Second, EPAs were offered and sold to a broad segment of the general public. Third, Voyager
promoted EPAs as an investment, specifically as a way to earn a consistent return on crypto assets.
Fourth, no alternative regulatory scheme or other risk reducing factors exist with respect to EPAs.
68.
Under Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act and Section 3(a)(10) of the Exchange
Act, a security includes “an investment contract.” See 15 U.S.C. §§ 77b, 78c. Based on the facts
and circumstances set forth herein, the EPAs were securities because they were notes under Reves
v. Ernst & Young, 494 U.S. 56, 64–66 (1990) and its progeny, and also because Voyager offered
and sold the EPAs as investment contracts, under SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293, 301
(1946) and its progeny, including the cases discussed by the SEC in its Report of Investigation
Pursuant To Section 21(a) Of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934: The DAO. 47 Voyager
promised EPA investors a variable interest rate, determined by Voyager on a periodic basis, in
exchange for crypto assets loaned by the investors, who could demand that Voyager return their
loaned assets at any time. Voyager thus borrowed the crypto assets in exchange for a promise to
repay with interest. Investors in the EPAs had a reasonable expectation of obtaining a future profit
from Voyager’s efforts in managing the EPAs based on Voyager’s statements about how it would
generate the yield to pay EPA investors interest. Investors also had a reasonable expectation that
Voyager would use the invested crypto assets in Voyager’s lending and principal investing
activity, and that investors would share profits in the form of interest payments resulting from
Voyager’s efforts. Further, as Rich Sanders demonstrates in his Preliminary Report, once an
investor purchases a EPA from Voyager and invests assets into it, Voyager customer assets are
consolidated into accounts operated by a common enterprise. 48 “Blockchains don’t lie, and the
tracing of Voyager customer deposits to common enterprise accounts is very clear.” 49 Voyager
offered and sold the EPAs to the general public to obtain crypto assets for the general use of its
business, namely to run its lending and investment activities to pay interest to EPA investors, and
promoted the EPAs as an investment. Voyager offered and sold securities without a registration
statement filed or in effect with the Commission and without qualifying for an exemption from

(“Securities Act”).
B. The Deceptive Voyager Platform
69.
The Deceptive Voyager Platform offers investors, developers and platform
providers a fully functional suite of APIs and mobile apps to allow anyone who is legally able to
do so the ability to trade, invest, earn and secure digital assets across multiple types of digital
assets. 50 According to its creators, “The Voyager Platform provides its customers with competitive
price execution through its smart order router and as well as a custody solution on a wide choice
of popular crypto-assets. Voyager was founded by established Wall Street and Silicon Valley
entrepreneurs who teamed to bring a better, more transparent, and cost-efficient alternative for
trading crypto-assets to the marketplace.” 51
70.
VDL, one of Voyager’s subsidiaries, acts as a “crypto broker,” being a digital agent
broker that facilitates users buying and selling of cryptocurrencies delivering deep pools of
liquidity. 52 It also offers a single access point to research, manage, trade, and secure
cryptocurrencies for novice and sophisticated investors. 53 Some of the services offered by VDL
include:
(a) users can open an account in three minutes or less. VDL utilizes third party service
providers for know-your-client and anti-money-laundering checks to ensure fast
and secure account openings;
(b) users are able to trade between fiat and cryptocurrency on a wide variety of core
and alternative cryptocurrencies;
(c) execution of trade orders across a spectrum of exchanges to give Voyager the
deepest pool of liquidity;
(d) minimizing transaction costs by aggregating orders and routing the order flow
through the optimal mix of exchanges, by utilizing VDL’s patented smart router
technology;

Further, during the months of January, February, and March 2021, 65,000, 70,000,
and 95,000 new funded accounts were onboarded onto the Voyager Platform with net deposits of
$170M, $400M, and $650M, respectively: 55
As of March 31, 2021, Voyager’s Assets Under Management exceeded $2.4 billion, with total
funded accounts exceeding 270,000 and over 1 million total verified users on the Platform. 56

Moreover, during the month of April 2021 alone, new users were onboarded “at a
record rate with over 130,000 new funded accounts added to the platform.” 57

These representations enable VDL to obtain an edge over its competitors, including
but not limited to Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, and Binance, who openly display the applicable fees
and commissions they charge on each trade.
75.
These “100% Commission-Free” representations, however, are false and are
reasonably likely to mislead objective consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances.
While VDL does not openly display the commissions it charges on each cryptocurrency trade, it
utilizes various methods to secrete the exorbitant commissions it retains from every trade.
76.
For example, the “spread” (i.e., the difference between the “Bid Price” and “Ask
Price” on a given cryptocurrency) is kept intentionally wide on all cryptocurrencies listed
throughout the Voyager Platform. Voyager explains in its most recent Management’s Discussion
and Analysis that the spread is a main source of revenue: 58
Fee revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 was $53.7 million
and $57.4, an increase of $53.5 and $57.1 compared to the same periods in 2020.
The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to an increase of $5.0 billion in
trade volumes, and an increase in average spread of 70.1 bps. The increase in the
nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the nine months ended March 31,
2020 was primarily due to an increase of $5.5 billion in trade volumes, and an
increase in average spread of 60.6 bps.
77.
Similarly, Founder and President, Steve Ehrlich, explains the importance of “spread
revenue” to his investors at the earnings call for Voyager’s Second Quarter for Fiscal Year 2021: 59
With the growth of assets under management, we remind investors of our 2 main
revenue sources, spread revenue and interest revenue. Estimated spread revenue is
derived by the trading velocity of our assets while interest revenue was driven by
the gross interest earned on the overall assets under management. Historically, the
company has earned between 10 to 12% annualized revenue on assets under
management.
At this point, I would also like to remind investors of certain drivers of our business.
As in agency brokerage business, market volatility can often act as our friend.
Voyager executes trades and captures spread revenue in both up and down markets.
One example of the powerful agency model happened on Tuesday, February 23rd
when Bitcoin decreased from a high of $56,000 to $45,000. That day, Voyager

experienced a record day for trading volume, revenue and net deposits. Investors
were very active buying the dips across all of the coins Voyager offers.
78.
Although the Voyager Platform will display a “Fair Market Price” for each
cryptocurrency, which falls somewhere in the middle of the spread, the Voyager Platform’s
systems will automatically execute market orders at the highest end of the spread, from which they
pocket secret commissions. Moreover, once a user submits a market buy order, the “Estimated
Price” for the trade displayed on the Voyager Platform automatically defaults to an amount higher
than the quoted “Ask Price” at the top end of the spread, so that an order can execute at an amount
that is “less” than the “Estimated Price,” but still at the very top end of the spread. Similarly, for
market sell orders, the trade will automatically default to an amount lower than the quoted “Bid
Price” at the bottom end of the spread so that the order can execute at an amount that is “more”
than the “Estimated Price,” but still at the bottom end of the spread.
79.
To effectuate these unfair and deceptive business practices, VDL claims to use
proprietary systems, which they refer to as the “Smart Order Router,” the “Voyager Pricing
Engine,” and the “Proprietary Fills Algorithm.” 60
80.
In describing the Smart Order Router, VDL maintains that the Voyager Platform
“does not let clients post orders directly on the exchanges to which it connects or with the market
makers that provide liquidity, but instead its Smart Order Router accepts customer orders and fills
them in the market for the customer using its proprietary order routing algorithm.” 61 The Voyager
Pricing Engine “calculates the fair market price while constantly analyzing the order books,
executions, depth of liquidity, commissions and other proprietary factors across our liquidity
sources and streams this price to its users.” 62
81.
To obscure this overarching scheme, VDL utilizes vague and opaque
representations that VDL will only “share” in “price improvement” where they can fill a user’s
order at a price better than that which was quoted to the user (which is not in the bid/ask spread or
fair market price, but rather in the jacked up estimated price that is only shown after the customer

submits the market order). 63 “By example, if the user is quoted $10,040 and the router is able to
fill at $10,030, Voyager may price improve the user’s order to $10,035 (note: share of price
improvement is variable and is determined by Voyager’s proprietary fills algorithm).” 64
82.
In reality, and unbeknownst to customers, the “Smart Order Router,” “Voyager
Pricing Engine,” and “Proprietary Fills Algorithm” are designed to be intentionally obscure and to
provide VDL with hidden commissions on every trade that in most cases exceed the disclosed fees
and commissions charged by its competitors. VDL unfairly gains an edge on its competition and
overcharges customers by collecting these secret commissions to the detriment of its unknowing
customers.
83.
In support of these allegations, Plaintiff attaches the preliminary expert reports of
(a) Richard A. Sanders, the Co-Founder and Lead Investigator of CipherBlade, a blockchain
forensics and cybercrime investigative firm which consults on some of the most renowned
blockchain projects, as well as numerous law enforcement and regulatory investigations, and
provides advisory services to cryptocurrency exchanges and other organizations; 65 and (b) Dr.
Stephen Peter Castell, a Chartered IT Professional, independent consultant in computer and
telecommunications systems and software development, and the Chairman of the United Kingdom
company CASTELL Computer and Systems Telecommunications Limited, a professional firm of
Management and Financial Consultants in Information Technology of over 40 years’ standing. 66
84.
Richard Sanders utilized a blockchain visualization tool called Chainalysis Reactor
in forming the opinions set forth in his report. Mr. Sanders explains that Chainalysis Reactor
provides a visualization of the same data that would be viewable on a block explorer, but unlike
block explorer, Chainalysis Reactor has what is known as “attribution.” Attribution is simply the
labeling of wallet addresses. 67 “Chainalysis Reactor (as well as similar tools) will have a baseline
amount of what is known as attribution: the labeling of wallet addresses. Addresses will be
unknown/pseudonymous until Chainalysis updates/labels the addresses in their system. A

combination of automated analysis and manual investigation is utilized to continually add
attribution. 68
85.
Mr. Sanders found through his analysis that Voyager had an alarmingly low number
of addresses attributed, far below the expected industry standard. “While it is true that no services
(not even the most voluminous exchanges, such as Coinbase or Binance) will ever have all
addresses attributed, services that have a lower amount of addresses attributed oftentimes lack such
attribution as a result of the entity not utilizing a compliance tool such as Chainalysis KYT (the
compliance equivalent of Chainalysis Reactor), and/or not submitting address data to such
providers. VDL currently has 1 Bitcoin address attributed in Chainalysis Reactor, a figure far lower
than industry standard.
86.
For example, Voyager competitor Celsius has 277,287 attributed addresses for
Bitcoin in Chainalysis Reactor. A service with such aggressive marketing as VDL, according to
Sanders, should have more address attribution. VDL’s lack of attribution may at least partially
have to do with how VDL processes customer deposits and withdrawals, which is distinctly
different (perhaps deliberately) from their competitors and obfuscates potential attribution
efforts. 69 Further, attribution for VDL wallet addresses for other blockchains was scarce and in
some cases non-existent. While attribution for some more less-utilized assets (say, LTC or the
ERC-20 tokens) may often have gaps, for attribution on widely-utilized assets (such as Ethereum)
to be lacking immediately stands out. Sanders therefore performed manual attribution for VDL
addresses.” 70
87.
Mr. Sanders found through his analysis that VDL lacks necessary transparency on
their platform and programs, and that opacity materially affects a customer’s ability to make an
informed decision with their money. “Voyager is not transparent. As described in the preceding
paragraph regarding the Voyager Interest Program, it is impossible for consumers to make an
informed decision regarding whether to deposit funds to Voyager or not. Further, even if an
individual opts out of the Voyager Interest Program, nothing evidences customer funds are not

rehypothecated, rendering Voyager customers susceptible to the risk of this rehypothecation
whether or not they have the risk appetite and/or desire to sign up for such activity.” 71
88.
According to Mr. Sanders, VDL fails to communicate to its users exactly what extra
fees apply to their transactions, how exactly transactions are being executed, and employs
misleading advertising to lure in customers:
Voyager is deliberately misleading, and often refuses to substantiate information
that is essential for a consumer to make an informed decision. As one prominent
example, Voyager strongly advertises “Commission-free” trading on their landing
page, but no such fees are ever clearly outlined. In the absence of any specificity
regarding “the marketplace,” it is impossible for a consumer — or anyone for that
matter — to determine which “marketplaces” (exchanges?) Voyager is determining
to provide the “best execution.” There would, indeed, presumably be a set price for
a market order, which would be derived from an aggregate of the exchanges
Voyager is sourcing liquidity from. In the simplest terms possible, it is entirely a
black box as to what Voyager is doing with orders purportedly directed to their
Smart Order Router, where (which exchanges) the Voyager Pricing Engine
“calculates the fair market price” from, and how the Proprietary Fills Algorithm
functions — and in the absence of such information, as well as demonstrable
discrepancies between what Voyager says should happen and what happens, these
systems are either improperly configured, or to varying degrees may not even exist
or exist as described by Voyager. Phrasing such as “evaluation of multiple factors”
is, per my experience regarding all companies that were suspected of, and
subsequently confirmed to be, misleading consumers, extremely concerning. The
utilization of seemingly-technical jargon, and/or otherwise unspecified yet
critical information, often result in tragedy for consumers. 72 In the absence of any
information whatsoever regarding how Voyager is processing customer orders, it
is functionally impossible to verify that Voyager is even performing the steps
described on their own FAQ. Voyager, in essence, is expecting the same degree of
trust from users that Bitconnect expected from their users regarding a ‘trading
bot’ that turned out to never exist. Voyager is undoubtedly profiting off of
customers utilizing the trade functionality of the Voyager platform, and is
irrefutably not providing best execution. Voyager cannot both claim to provide best
execution and be commission-free when it is easily evidenced that numerous other
exchanges provide better rates. 73
89.
Mr. Sanders further explains that VDL’s advertising claim that their platform
provides the best execution of trades for users is plainly and demonstrably false:

The exchange rates provided by Voyager are consistently worse than the rates
provided by cryptocurrency exchanges -- regardless of whether the exchange is
centralized or decentralized, US-based or not US-based, etc. For Voyager to
suggest they are providing any form of ‘best execution’ across the marketplace is
demonstrably false. What makes Voyager’s representations even more egregious is
that, in the course of my analysis, I had performed extensive cryptocurrency
deposits and withdrawals in order to discover cryptocurrency wallet addresses that
Voyager utilizes for customer funds. Customer assets are sent to/from either
Binance or HTC Trading wallets. Comparing exchange rates on Voyager to those
on Binance resulted in Binance having better exchange rates on every occasion.
Said differently, the one exchange that it is possible to assess Voyager would be
including across their marketplace comparison (and thus should reflect the same
price in Voyager app) provided a better deal than Voyager. 74
90.
Mr. Sanders also obtained comparison data from VDL’s competitors, such as
Celsius, which further demonstrates the Deceptive Voyager Platform’s vast deviation in number
of attributed addresses from the expected industry standard. Mr. Sanders explained that “[u]pon a
search of Celsius, a core Voyager competitor, their addresses are well-attributed; note the
requirement to scroll down to see the full depth of cryptocurrencies that Celsius wallets are
attributed in. Upon a search for Voyager, only four cryptocurrencies are attributed, and of
those, the attribution is partial.” 75
91.
This lack of attribution indicates, in Mr. Sanders’ view, that VDL demonstrates a
possibility of noncompliance and lack of responsibly managed services on their platform
While a service not being attributed in Chainalysis does not confirm the service is
suspicious, it is generally typical for compliant and responsibly-managed services
to have attribution in a tool like Chainalysis Reactor for several reasons: Companies
will sometimes provide their wallet addresses to companies like Chainalysis in
order to be helpful to law enforcement and/or decrease the overhead associated with
false positives and inquiries that would otherwise stem from a lack of attributed
wallet addresses. 76
92.
This lack of compliance is further illustrated in Voyager’s heavy utilization of non-
U.S. based fund-receiving addresses which do not reflect the targeted customer demographic:
While proportionality and focus at this time preclude me from providing a deeper
review into Voyager’s AML practices, observations regarding Voyager addresses
(and the nature of the entities they send and receive cryptocurrencies from) while

conducting my attribution work did prompt concerns. As just one example,
Voyager’s known Bitcoin address sends funds to exchanges that are not US-based
or even preclude US residents from signing up (KuCoin, Binance, Byibit, and FTX
would all be strong examples.) In essence, where Voyager customers withdraw
funds to does not reflect what I’d expect a US-based company soliciting US-based
users 77 to send funds to. In my experience, when I see sending exposure that does
not reflect the targeted demographic, the company attributed to the wallet(s) has an
(often intentional) porous approach to compliance; said differently, I find it very
unlikely that the quantity of Source of Wealth inquiries Voyager sent to customers
due to these observations (assets going to US-restricted exchanges) would match
the statistics shown above. 78
93.
Not only does VDL fail to deliver on their advertising promise of “Better Pricing
On Trades,” they charge their users the highest premium on trades across all competitors.
According to Mr. Sanders, “On all but one occasion (which was for a less liquid cryptocurrency,
ZRX, in a small amount, on FTX), Voyager’s prices were worse than whichever exchange they
were compared to. Voyager does not offer better pricing on trades. In fact, the rates Voyager offers
would result in a plainly worse deal, often to the tune of nearly or more than 1% higher than
competitors, even on highly liquid pairs such as BTC/USD.” 79 “Consequently, VDL’s
representation of offering “Better Pricing on Trades” is, under the most generous of terms,
deliberately misleading (it is obvious that would lead most people to conclude “across
exchanges”), and I’d opine deliberately misleading in a way that is plainly to enrich themselves at
the expense of that very misconception Voyager instills.” 80
94.
Upon further testing, Mr. Sanders also found it probable that VDL is not basing
their market quotes off exchanges:
Baffled as to how Voyager may be generating the quotes for market buy/sell orders,
I decided to run one more test on Voyager regarding USD/USDC. USDC is a
cryptocurrency known as a stablecoin, which should be close to the value of the
USD; however, these assets are never entirely 100%-pegged. 81 Consequently, if
one goes onto a cryptocurrency exchange (with legitimate liquidity -- so Coinbase
or Kraken would be good choices, whereas an exchange known for fake volume,

which is also likely to have fake order books, such as HitBTC 82 might not be), and
seeks to trade between a stablecoin and fiat, the exchange will not be an exact 1:1
match. Note that when entering tens or hundreds of millions of dollars into a USDC
buy order on Kraken, the peg noticeably is lost, as it should be. Note that on
Voyager it does not. See: Exhibit E – Infinite Stability.mp4 [accessible at
https://youtu.be/zF5nHhLhpaM]. 83 In the absence of any indication Voyager is
sourcing funds from exchanges, as well as the alarming revelation that Voyager
purports to effectively have infinite USDC stores at peg, I am thus left to conclude
that it is possible, if not probable, Voyager is not basing their market quotes off
exchanges. The explanation may simply be that Voyager sources liquidity from
Binance at a markup.” 84 “Notably, with Binance’s known AML issues, even if
Voyager were transparently providing Binance’s rates on cryptocurrency trades
(which they are not) to US users, Voyager is effectively a workaround for Binance
being restricted to US residents and Voyager cannot know, with confidence, what
their ultimate source of funds is. Such activity would be, from a value
transfer/blockchain analysis standpoint, described as a workaround to US
regulatory requirements and cryptocurrency exchange terms of use. 85
95.
This probability is further bolstered by the questionability of VDL’s business
activity with Binance. Mr. Sanders states:
I can evidence, and have evidenced, that Voyager sends funds to HTC Trading 86
and Binance. What happens with those funds when sent to HTC Trading is a black
box (until/unless records are provided), but what one can conclude is Voyager, or
the company they own/act through, HTC Trading, has one or more Binance
accounts. If Voyager were, in fact, being honest about providing the best rates to
their users, it would only be sensible to include in the hypothetical set of exchanges
they are getting these alleged best rates from: namely Binance. Said differently:
why does Voyager send customer funds to Binance where they presumably
hold account(s) yet a Voyager customer will consistently get a better deal on
Binance than is shown on Voyager? As far as the blockchain is concerned, the
one place I can definitively assess Voyager receiving liquidity from is Binance, yet
Voyager’s rates were worse than Binance every time. 87

Mr. Sanders lastly concludes, in line with what Plaintiff alleges:
Voyager has fraudulently conducted business by making false claims, utilizing
misleading marketing, and obscuring the truth behind what Voyager does with
customer’s funds, and what fees users are charged. “Voyager’s aggressive
expansion in the late 2020/2021 bull market is, in my estimation, plainly targeting
inexperienced cryptocurrency users/investors that would not have the experience to
know better. New cryptocurrency users rely on active industry participants
(companies such as Voyager, and “educators/influencers”) to provide them with
good-faith insight and not mislead them. Voyager’s representations, namely those
about commission-free and best price trading, would undoubtedly be understood to
mean what they say they mean whether by a cryptocurrency novice or a deeply
experienced expert.” 88
97.
Dr. Castell similarly conducted a careful preliminary analysis to demonstrate the
potential scope of damages resulting from VDL’s overcharges. This analysis, “relying on
Voyager’s own reported figures,” reflected that VDL’s conduct has likely resulted or will result in
over 1.08 billion dollars in damages to its users. 89
98.
Dr. Castell agrees with Mr. Sanders in that VDL does not actually execute trades at
the “best market price” as they advertise. “In summary, it is my firm preliminary opinion that the
Voyager App does not materially provide the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital
as regards achieving the ‘best market price’ for the user/trader.” 90
99.
The Voyager app was likely deliberately designed to not provide the actual
functionality aspects represented to users. Dr. Castell states:
Furthermore, in my preliminary opinion the failure of the Voyager App to provide
the represented functionality is likely to be centered principally within elements of
the coding or programmed behavior of the “Smart Order Router,” and/or the
“Voyager Pricing Engine,” and/or the “Proprietary Fills Algorithm”, either acting
alone, amongst themselves, or in conjunction with the Voyager Digital corporate
software and systems with which these modules connect and inter-operate. 91
In my preliminary view it is clear that the available technical evidence shows that
the Voyager App does not materially provide the user functionality as represented
by Voyager Digital as regards achieving the “best market price” or “fair market
price” for the user/trader. 92

This obscurity leading to charging customers extra hidden fees is most likely known
to VDL at least at this time, or earlier. Dr. Castell explains,
…whether through an unintentional failure, or deliberate act, in my view such
overcharge provisionally appears to be a definite software material defect, and it
seems highly unlikely to me that the Voyager Digital company’s IT and corporate
management did, and does, not know (and, if not, it should), what was and is
happening as regards this software material defect and its overcharge/undisclosed
commission financial consequences to the Voyager App user. 93
101.
According to Dr. Castell, each time a user was overcharged on their purportedly
“commission free” trades, that overcharge amounted to no less than 0.5% of the total value of that
user’s trade. “In my view this overcharge to the Voyager User may be characterized or thought of
as essentially an undisclosed commission levied by Voyager Limited. The overcharge/ undisclosed
commission varied somewhat per individual trade, between approximately 0.5% and 1% of the
value of the trade, across all trades in the sample, i.e. the overcharge was never less than 0.5% of
the value of the trade.” 94
102.
According to Dr. Castell, it is a fact that there is a definite material defect in the
design of the Voyager Platform software, either deliberately or negligently:
In the meantime, whether the overcharge is as a result, on the part of Voyager
Digital’s management, of a fault in Voyager Digital’s software development
management, i.e. the company’s software design, build, testing, deployment and
operational processes, or arises from a deliberate intent of the company to deceive
and overcharge the users of its Voyager App, or some combination of both, in my
view and experience, and dependent, as noted herein, on due inspection and
examination of the software development, management and operational
documentation to be disclosed by Voyager Digital, such overcharge provisionally
appears to me to be a definite software material defect. I naturally defer to the court
to make that finding legally in due course, and, if so, determine what restitution and
compensation falls to be provided by Voyager Digital for the financial
consequences of such a software material defect. 95
103.
That said, Dr. Castell believes this material defect, which led to hundreds of
millions of dollars in user overcharges, was not an accident, and was indeed deliberate in design:
However, and subject to the Discovery that will be necessary to analyze definitively
whether what the Voyager Digital company’s management is doing is intentional,

in my preliminary view, since the overcharge/undisclosed commission appears to
be present in every trade, it is highly likely that the Voyager App is deliberately
conceived and designed by the company’s management to function that way, or,
equally, the company’s management has grossly failed to discharge its requisite IT
and corporate governance duties, and has failed to correct this software material
defect, perhaps because it is to their company’s benefit. It seems highly unlikely to
me that the Voyager Digital company’s IT and corporate management did, and
does, not know (and, if not, it should), what was and is happening as regards this
software material defect and its overcharge/undisclosed commission financial
consequences to the Voyager App user. 96
104.
VDL has failed to meet acceptable professional and transactional standards in the
market segment they belong to. Dr. Castell concludes, based on his experience, that:
Based on the evident material failure of Voyager Digital to provide its promised
Voyager App “best market price,” and “100% Commission Free,” user
functionalities, whether those failures be through deliberate policy and systems
design, or through faults in software construction and operation, I am of the
preliminary opinion that the technical governance of Voyager Digital in the
management, operation, integrity, representations and security of its Voyager App
and of its other management and customer systems are likely not to meet, in whole
or in part, accepted professional standards for, and/or custom and practice in, the
consumer electronic financial services and/or online trading sectors, but cannot
arrive at a final considered view prior to Defendants’ discovery and disclosure. 97

To illustrate the deceptive nature of the Platform and how VDL secretly charges
exorbitant commissions on each trade for Plaintiff and all putative class members despite their
misrepresentations that the Platform is “100% Commission-Free,” Plaintiff includes the following
screenshots of his May 11, 2021 Market Buy trade at Order ID Dx65EW.
109.
At 11:17am EST, the cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH) was displayed on the
Platform with a “Fair Market Price” of $3,997.83 a coin.

110.
On the “trade” page for Ethereum in the Platform at 11:17am EST, the “Bid Price”
displayed at $3,969.44, and the “Ask Price” displayed at $4,025.44.
111.
At 11:17am EST, Plaintiff submitted a Market Buy order for $10.00 USD worth of
Ethereum. On execution of the trade, however, the “Estimated Price” for Ethereum suddenly
reflected at $4,027.36 a coin, higher than the maximum quoted “Ask Price” on the immediately
preceding page. Plaintiff’s order filled at $4,025.28 per coin, at the top end of the bid/ask spread.
112.
At no point during Plaintiff’s relationship with VDL did VDL ever disclose,
contrary to its representations that the Platform operates “100% Commission-Free,” that the
“Smart Order Routing,” “Voyager Pricing Engine,” and “Proprietary Fills algorithm” systems are
intentionally designed to provide VDL with secret commissions built into the pricing of every
trade.

Mark Cassidy v. Voyager Digital Ltd., et al.
Case No.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
First Amended Complaint
CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS
113.
As detailed below in the individual counts, Plaintiff brings this lawsuit on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, pursuant to Rule 23(a), (b)(2), (b)(3), and/or (c)(4) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
A. Class Definitions
114.
Plaintiff seeks to represent the following Nationwide Classes and Florida
Subclasses (collectively, “the Classes”):
(1) Nationwide Voyager Class: All persons or entities in the
United States who, within the applicable limitations period,
purchased or enrolled in a EPA.
(2) Florida Voyager Subclass: All persons or entities in the state
of Florida who, within the applicable limitations period,
purchased or enrolled in a EPA.
(3) Nationwide VDL Class: All persons in the United States who,
within the applicable limitations period, used the Voyager
Platform to place cryptocurrency investment orders.
(4) Florida VDL Subclass: All persons in the state of Florida who,
within the applicable limitations period, used the Voyager
Platform to place cryptocurrency investment orders.
Excluded from the Classes are the Voyager Defendants and their officers, directors, affiliates, legal
representatives, and employees, any governmental entities, any judge, justice, or judicial officer
presiding over this matter and the members of their immediate families and judicial staff. Plaintiff
reserves the right to modify or amend the definition of the proposed Nationwide Class or Florida
Subclass, or to include additional classes or subclasses, before or after the Court determines
whether such certification is appropriate as discovery progresses.
B. Numerosity
115.
The Classes are comprised of thousands, if not millions, of consumers nationwide
and throughout the state of Florida to whom Voyager offered and/or sold EPAs. Moreover,
thousands, if not millions, of consumers nationwide and throughout the state of Florida have
executed trades on the Voyager Platform within the applicable limitations period. Membership in

First Amended Complaint
the Classes is thus so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable. The precise number
of class members is currently unknown to Plaintiff, but is easily identifiable through the Voyager
Defendants’ corporate records.
C. Commonality/Predominance
116.
This action involves common questions of law and fact, which predominate over
any questions affecting individual class members. These common legal and factual questions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
As to Voyager:
(a) whether the EPAs were unregistered securities under federal and Florida law;
(b) whether Voyager’s offerings and sales of EPAs violate the provisions of the
Securities Act and Florida law; and
(c) the type and measure of damages suffered by Plaintiff and the Class.
As to VDL:
(a) whether VDL’s description of the Voyager Platform as being “100% commission
free” is deceptive, unfair, false and misleading;
(b) whether VDL’s representations are objectively likely to mislead reasonable
consumers to believe that their trading platform operates as “100% commission
free”;
(c) whether VDL’s practices violate the NJCFA;
(d) whether VDL’s practices violate the FDUTPA;
(e) whether Plaintiff and Class members have sustained monetary loss and the proper
measure of that loss;
(f) whether Plaintiff and Class members are entitled to injunctive relief;
(g) whether Plaintiff and Class members are entitled to declaratory relief; and
(h) whether Plaintiff and Class members are entitled to consequential damages,
punitive damages, statutory damages, disgorgement, and/or other legal or equitable
appropriate remedies as a result of VDL’s conduct.
D. Typicality
117.
Plaintiff’s claims are typical of the claims of the members of the Classes because
all members were injured through the uniform misconduct described above, namely that Plaintiff

and all class members were offered and/or sold EPAs by Voyager, or that Plaintiff and all members
were exposed to VDL’s identical and uniform misrepresentations and omissions regarding the
Voyager Platform being “100% commission free,” and Plaintiff is advancing the same claims and
legal theories on behalf of himself and all such members. Further, there are no defenses available
to either Voyager or VDL that are unique to Plaintiff.
E. Adequacy of Representation
118.
Plaintiff will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the members of the
Classes. Plaintiff has retained counsel experienced in complex consumer class action litigation,
and Plaintiff intends to prosecute this action vigorously. Plaintiff has no adverse or antagonistic
interests to those of the Classes. Plaintiff anticipates no difficulty in the management of this
litigation as a class action. To prosecute this case, Plaintiff has chosen the undersigned law firms,
which have the financial and legal resources to meet the substantial costs and legal issues
associated with this type of consumer class litigation.
F. Requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(3)
119.
The questions of law or fact common to Plaintiff’s and each Classes member’s
claims predominate over any questions of law or fact affecting only individual members of the
Classes. All claims by Plaintiff and the unnamed members of the Classes are based on the common
course of conduct (1) by Voyager in marketing, offering, and/or selling the EPAs, which are
unregistered securities, or (2) by VDL in making identical and uniform misrepresentations and
omissions regarding the Voyager Platform being “100% commission free,” while secretly charging
exorbitant and secret commissions to Plaintiff and the unnamed members of the Classes for every
trade made on the Voyager Platform.
120.
Common issues predominate when, as here, liability can be determined on a class-
wide basis, even when there will be some individualized damages determinations.
121.
As a result, when determining whether common questions predominate, courts
focus on the liability issue, and if the liability issue is common to the Classes as is in the case at
bar, common questions will be held to predominate over individual questions.
G. Superiority
122.
A class action is superior to individual actions for the proposed Classes, in part
because of the non-exhaustive factors listed below:

Case No.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
First Amended Complaint
(a) Joinder of all Class members would create extreme hardship and inconvenience for
the affected customers as they reside nationwide and throughout the state;
(b) Individual claims by Class members are impracticable because the costs to pursue
individual claims exceed the value of what any one Class member has at stake. As
a result, individual Class members have no interest in prosecuting and controlling
separate actions;
(c) There are no known individual Class members who are interested in individually
controlling the prosecution of separate actions;
(d) The interests of justice will be well served by resolving the common disputes of
potential Class members in one forum;
(e) Individual suits would not be cost effective or economically maintainable as
individual actions; and
(f) The action is manageable as a class action.
H. Requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(2)
123.
Voyager has acted and refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the classes
by engaging in a common course of conduct of offering and/or selling the EPAs, which are
unregistered securities, thereby making appropriate final injunctive relief or declaratory relief with
respect to the classes as a whole.
124.
VDL has acted and refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the classes by
engaging in a common course of conduct of uniformly making identical and uniform
misrepresentations and omissions regarding the Voyager Platform being “100% Commissionfree,” while secretly charging exorbitant and secret commissions to Plaintiff and the unnamed
members of the Classes for every trade made on the Voyager Platform, thereby making appropriate
final injunctive relief or declaratory relief with respect to the classes as a whole.
I. Requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(4)
125.
As it is clear that the predominant issue regarding Voyager’s liability is whether
the EPAs it has offered and/or sold are unregistered securities, utilizing Rule 23(c)(4) to certify
either or both of the Classes against Voyager for a class wide adjudication on this issue would
materially advance the disposition of the litigation as a whole.

As it is clear that the predominant issue regarding VDL’s liability is whether it has
violated the NJCFA or the FDUTPA in making identical and uniform misrepresentations and
omissions regarding their trading platform being “100% commission free,” while secretly charging
exorbitant and secret commissions to Plaintiff and the unnamed members of the Classes for every
trade made on the Voyager Platform, utilizing Rule 23(c)(4) to certify either or both of the Classes
against VDL for a class wide adjudication on this issue would materially advance the disposition
of the litigation as a whole.
J. Nature of Notice to the Proposed Classes.
127.
The names and addresses of all Class Members are contained in the business
records maintained by the Voyager Defendants and are readily available to the Voyager
Defendants. The Class Members are readily and objectively identifiable. Plaintiff contemplates
that notice will be provided to Class Members by e-mail, mail, and published notice.

First Amended Complaint
131.
The Voyager Earn Program Account (“EPA”) is a security within the meaning of
Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. § 77b(a)(1) because it is a “note” and an

purchase of the unregistered EPAs securities through Defendants’ website and/or application.
135.
As a result of Voyager’s unregistered sale of the EPAs securities, Voyager is liable
to Plaintiff and the members of the Nationwide Class. 15 U.S.C. § 77l(a).

demands judgment for rescission and/or compensatory damages, in addition to prejudgment
interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, post-judgment interest, and any and all further relief
deemed just, equitable, and proper.

VDL has engaged in, and continues to engage in, unconscionable commercial
practices, deceptive acts, and misrepresentations in the conduct of its trade and/or commerce in
the State of New Jersey, as described more fully hereinabove.
146.
VDL’s statements regarding the Voyager Platform being “100% Commission-
Free” were false and misleading because VDL in fact did charge Plaintiff and Class members
undisclosed commissions on cryptocurrency trades made on the Voyager Platform.
147.
The NJCFA further provides that “[a]ny person who suffers an ascertainable loss
of moneys or property, real or personal, as a result of the use or employment by another person of
any method, act, or practice declared unlawful under the [NJCFA] may bring an action or assert a
counterclaim therefore in any court of competent jurisdiction. N.J.S.A. 56:8-19.
148.
Plaintiff and the Class are “person(s)” as that term is defined in N.J.S.A.56:8-1(d).
149.
Plaintiff and the Class have suffered an ascertainable loss of moneys or property as
a direct and proximate result of VDL’s unconscionable practices.
150.
Plaintiff and the Class have a private right of action against VDL and it entitles
them to recover, in addition to their actual damages, a threefold award of the damages sustained
by any person, interest, an award of reasonable attorney’s fees, filing fees and reasonable costs of
suit. N.J.S.A 56:8-19.
151.
Plaintiff and the Class have suffered, and will continue to suffer, irreparable harm
if VDL continues to engage in such deceptive, unfair, and unreasonable practices.

fully set forth herein.
153.
This cause of action is brought pursuant to the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade
Practices Act, section 501.201, Fla. Stat., et seq. (“FDUTPA”). The stated purpose of the FDUTPA

Mark Cassidy v. Voyager Digital Ltd., et al.
Case No.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
First Amended Complaint
154.
Plaintiff and Class members are consumers as defined by section 501.203, Fla. Stat.
VDL is engaged in trade or commerce within the meaning of the FDUTPA.
155.
Florida Statute section 501.204(1) declares unlawful “[u]nfair methods of
competition, unconscionable acts or practices, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in the
conduct of any trade or commerce.”
156.
VDL’s unfair and deceptive practices as described herein are objectively likely to
mislead – and have misled – consumers acting reasonably in the circumstances.
157.
VDL has violated the FDUTPA by engaging in the unfair and deceptive practices
as described herein, which offend public policies and are immoral, unethical, unscrupulous and
injurious to consumers.
158.
Plaintiff and consumers in the Class have been aggrieved by VDL’s unfair and
deceptive practices and acts of false advertising by paying VDL undisclosed commissions on
cryptocurrency trades on the Voyager Platform, having parted with money under false pretenses.
159.
The harm suffered by Plaintiffs and consumers in the Class was directly and
proximately caused by the deceptive and unfair practices of VDL, as more fully described herein.
160.
Pursuant to sections 501.211(2) and 501.2105, Fla. Stat., Plaintiff and consumers
in the Class make claims for actual damages, attorneys’ fees and costs.
161.
VDL still utilizes many of the deceptive acts and practices described above and is
still secretly retaining money from every cryptocurrency trade made on the Voyager Platform.
Plaintiff and the other members of the Class have suffered and will continue to suffer irreparable
harm if VDL continues to engage in such deceptive, unfair, and unreasonable practices. Section
501.211(1) entitles Plaintiff and the Class to obtain both declaratory or injunctive relief to put an
end to VDL’s unfair and deceptive scheme.

Before we get started, I want to remind everyone that certain statements discussed on this call are
based on information as of today, February 15th, that may contain forward-looking statements
which are subject to risks and uncertainties, and given our limited operating history, market
volatility and unprecedented industry growth, trends could materially deviate from today's levels.
Actual results could differ material from our forward-looking statements if any of our key
assumptions discussed in today's earnings press release and the comments made during this
conference call or in our latest reports and SEDAR filings, each of which can be found on our
website, www. investvoyager.com or under our profile at www.sedar.com are incorrect. The
Company has made assumptions that no significant events occur outside of the Company's normal
course of business and that current trends in the adoption of crypto assets continue.
Listeners are cautioned that assets on platform, revenues, and trading volumes fluctuate and may
increase and decrease from time to time, and that such fluctuations are beyond the Company's
control. We do not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements, except where
required by law.
Today's release also includes references to non-IFRS financial measures. You should refer to the
information contained in the disclosures found in today's release, including definitional
information and reconciliations of historical non-IFRS measures to the comparable IFRS financial
measures. This call will touch on some guidance provided in our earnings press release issued
today. I would encourage each of you to review the forward-looking statement respect to disclosure
and similar disclosure in today's press release. Please note that dollar amounts referenced are in US
dollars unless otherwise noted.
With that, let me turn the call over to Steve Ehrlich, Voyager's Co-Founder and CEO.
Steve Ehrlich
Thank you, Mike, and good morning, everyone. I'm excited to report our best quarter ever, doubling
our revenue from the previous quarter and highlighting Voyager's positioning and revenue
opportunity in active markets. More importantly, during the quarter, we delivered significant
revenue growth while scaling our systems to more seamlessly support a significant increase in
customer activity, highlighting the steps we've taken to build out the scale and security of the
Voyager platform in 2021, as we position Voyager for substantial product rollouts in calendar 2022.
First, I want to take a moment and focus on the notable accomplishments in calendar 2021 and
then discuss our plan for 2022. We started the 2021 calendar year with an innovative platform
embraced by early adopters, fueled by word of mouth from people seeking a trusted app for easily
trading a large selection of all coins. At the time, Voyager had 38 employees, 43,000 funded
accounts and approximately $230 million of assets on platform. But we had the goal of becoming
one of the leading crypto platforms in the United States. As the industry grew and Voyager was
discovered by more crypto market participants, we raised the capital to scale our platform and fuel
our growth.
By the end of calendar 2021, we had 250 employees, 3.2 million verified users and 1.074 million
funded accounts with over $5.9 billion of assets on platform. This level of growth makes Voyager
one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrency platforms in the industry and one of the largest in the
United States. Based on data obtained from one of our investment banking partners, Voyager was
third on the list of fastest-growing public companies listed on any U.S. exchange including the OTC
markets, based on revenue growth in calendar 2021 with $416 million of revenue, up from just $6.6
million for the calendar year 2020.
To keep pace with our rapid growth, we spent 2021 scaling our system. From the initial influx of

customers in January 2021, the decisions we made focused on scaling to handle the increases in
volume. In the December quarter, we reached new heights of activity that tested the system, and I
am happy to report that we had no delays or outages. Our significant scaling in 2021 included
notable growth of our engineering and product departments, positioning us to execute and deliver
what we believe to be both innovative and customer-focused product enhancement and features for
2022.
Before I review our business strategy for 2022, I would like to address the industry cycles we
witnessed in 2021 and our viewpoints on industry growth going forward as mainstream adoption
and blockchain efficiency proliferate in the coming years. The crypto industry is one in which there
are tremendous ebbs and flows.
But as revealed by our recent survey, 66% of Americans believe that crypto will be widely accepted
and growing value over the next 5 years. We are therefore excited about the future and fueled by
investment in our marketing efforts, we will continue to grow Voyager as one of the major players
in digital assets in the blockchain industry.
We're investing heavily in revenue diversification as we look to reduce our reliance on trading
volumes. Voyager's goal is to build a business with multiple revenue streams through its current
trading products, yield and staking products, payment and spending products and future NFT and
lending products.
To accomplish our goals, we have organized our product and engineering teams into pods working
on specific products and product enhancements. Focusing on product development, the expanded
leadership team studied data to better align business goals with customer needs. We are a product
delivery organization and have taken the necessary steps towards matching the needs of our
customers with our product delivery goals.
Transactional revenue is a key driver of the business. We recently added 10 new coins with crypto
wallets for trading and crypto transfers, bringing our total up to 85 coins, of which we have 52 of
them with crypto wallets. The large number of crypto wallets is significant as well as other notable
players in the industry have no or very limited wallets, we allow our customers to hold their own
assets and transfer them. We have plans to trade over 100 coins in the near future and add even
more crypto wallets. Adding more wallets is a key area of development for us as the crypto
ecosystem continues to grow. The ability to transfer these tokens, especially in the gaming space is
becoming necessary. When we add new coins, we tend to see an increase in customer engagement
and an increase in trading.
In addition to new coins and wallets, we are working on trading features and enhancements. Our
near-term road map includes a desktop version of the app, a dark moon mode to the mobile app,
stock orders, dynamic and tiered pricing and swap functionality with the expectation that desktop
and dark mode will be rolled out in the March quarter.
Voyager continues to focus on staking enhancements. We added additional custodians, which are
necessary to expand the coins for staking. As the number of points available for staking increases,
staking revenue will continue to grow and the expectation that it will become a larger and larger
part of our overall revenue.
On the lending side, the addition of automated research, along with a few other borrowers, has
increased our capacity and capabilities. Based on current market prices, we continue to target a
minimum of $40 million in yield and staking revenue per quarter and, subject to the crypto
markets, expect that to grow as we add more points. We recently rolled out the debit card to a small
group of employees for real-world testing. So far, the results are very exciting, and we expect to
increase the number of users in the March quarter.

The debit card is unique in nature by providing up to 9% annual rewards and is based on holding
USDC, not fiat currency. The card has a bank routing number and an account number, so
individuals can direct deposit their paycheck and utilize it in place of a bank account. We also
anticipate allowing consumers early access to their paycheck similar to many of the neo banks. We
have yet to fully execute our marketing plans for the debit card, but we already have a waiting list of
approximately 200,000 people.
The product will also be connected to the Voyager loyalty program, which is also in the process of
being expanded. And we envision adding broader consumer awards from popular merchants as
well. The plan is for Voyager to earn revenue from the interchange and rewards from merchants.
As we mentioned in the last earnings call, we received our fit and proper license from the AMF, the
authority of financial markets in France. We are progressing and delivering a crypto solution to
French citizens as well as other parts of Europe in 2022.
As the AMF approved Voyager to deliver the product as it looks today in the US, we can bring the
benefits of the Voyager platform to the European audience. There is a waitlist for Europe already.
And by utilizing the recently acquired Coinify and their KYC and money movement features, we
intend to make an impact in the second half of 2022.
In Canada, we are working closely with the Ontario Securities Commission to deliver the Voyager
offering to Canadian residents as well. We will keep investors updated as we learn more from the
OSC.
Our partnership with Market Rebellion to build an equity broker dealer is progressing nicely. Not
only do we have FINRA approval, we have a signed clearing agreement. The clearing agreement is a
necessary step in building the brokerage of the future as we leverage the clearing firm technology to
deliver an equity trading offering.
Voyager will earn revenue on this partnership by keeping a piece of the revenue from customer
balances and transactions. We will structure this offering so consumers will access the trading of
equities from their existing Voyager app and will utilize USTC as a base currency for trading. We
believe these innovative features are advantageous and the delivery of the debit card is a key step
forward for this product. The Coinify payment business is an area of focus as we recently hired
enterprise sales veteran Tim Mund to lead our US sales team. We believe that the payment business
is a long tail business, but we are growing that -- growing the use of our rails and systems as these
rails allow businesses and individuals to make payments within the Voyager ecosystem without any
blockchain fees.
Additionally, the payment system allows any payment service system or vendor to receive crypto as
payments outside of the Voyager ecosystem, which has lower rates than the traditional system.
Lastly, watching how the NFT business continues to grow, we hired a team to develop Voyager's
NFT strategy. In line with our overall value proposition, Voyager plans to make it easier to access
the NFT ecosystem by helping customers interact with, organize and extract value from their NFT
portfolio. Our goal is to simplify NFT participation today and in the future, regardless of how the
culture and ecosystem evolves. We plan to design products that will enable consumers to react
quickly to market changes and safely manage their portfolio.
We will continue to focus on user growth as our primary marketing objective and to educate users
about the benefits of digital assets and use cases where investors can participate in the wealthbuilding opportunities available on the Voyager platform. We are really excited about the launch of
our latest campaign, Crypto for All, as it expands upon the growth we saw in the December quarter
when we added the Dallas Mavericks, NCA Basketball and the National Women's Soccer League to

our NASCAR partnership with Land in Castle in both the Cup and Xfinity series.
We continue to be the third highest ranked pure crypto app in the Apple App Store and strive to
gain traction versus the two larger companies ahead of us. We will continue to focus on
differentiation and value creation to our existing and future marketing channels. We are striving to
scale and improve customer support and continue to add personnel to the team. We have also
focused on engineering teams on how to better support our customers and anticipate adding live
chat to our existing chat by the end of the March quarter.
One of Voyager's organizational objectives is maintaining transparency and accountability with
customers, constituents, investors and employees. To support this objective, Voyager will begin its
first SOC2 audit in June 2022 and will continue annually thereafter. The SOC2 is a critical element
to Voyager's continued achievement of best-in-class service and product offerings as SOC2 provides
assurance that a mature, sustainable security program has been implemented, protecting all
stakeholders' assets from unauthorized access.
Additionally, completing a SOC2 audit will differentiate Voyager from competitors by clearing a
path to increase partnership opportunities and additional highly accredited organizations.
Lastly, we want to address the recent news about the SEC order in the matter of BlockFi lending
LLC. We recognize that this is a significant development in the industry and will provide a potential
regulatory path for market participants. We also understand that some may view Voyager's rewards
program to be similar to BlockFi interest accounts. While we understand the temptation to bucket
them together, we think there are important differences between Voyager's program and BlockFi’s
that we think have legal significance.
That said, we are in ongoing discussions with regulators about the rewards program, and it is, of
course, possible that regulators may have a different view. Under the circumstances, we think it's
important to confirm that Voyager has received requests and subpoenas from the SEC and certain
states in connection with the rewards program as part of nonpublic fact-finding inquiries. Of
course, we believe that Voyager accounts that earn rewards comply with existing U.S. law and look
forward to demonstrating that as necessary. We think it is normal and appropriate for financial
service firms, especially in the crypto industry with these evolving regulatory frameworks to receive
inquiries from regulators and law enforcement. When Voyager received such requests, our policy is
to cooperate fully, but we limit public discussion as these matters are always evolving and as a
public company, Voyager is subject to important rules regarding disclosures about its business.
I want to make it clear that Voyager strives for overall compliance and has team of legal and
compliance professionals and outside advisers working hard to help us operate within the rules that
they exist today. In closing, we continue to believe that we're in the early stages of crypto adoption,
and there is significant opportunity for Voyager to grow users and revenue as we execute our game
plan. We have a group of industry veterans who, having seen 20-plus years of market activity,
understand the volatility that markets have.
We think that leadership experience positions us to execute and build an industry leader. The
crypto market will continue to have its ups and downs, and our revenue and volume will reflect
those moments, but we take pride in creating the third largest retail platform in the US based on
retail assets on platform and number of funded accounts. I am truly excited about where we are and
where we are going. Voyager's business continues to grow every day and the company is well
positioned to become a leading brand in the digital asset space. This truly is an exciting time in the
industry.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Evan to review the quarterly financial results in more detail.

Evan Psaropoulos
Thank you, Steve, and thank you all for joining us today. As a reminder, all figures discussed in
today's call are in US dollars under IFRS. Our fiscal 2022 second quarter ended December 31, 2021.
As Steve highlighted, our second quarter was our strongest ever as our business grew across almost
all our key metrics, including volume, customer accounts, net deposits and all distinct revenue
lines. As volume and funded accounts grew, so did our assets on platform, increasing from $4.4
billion in the September quarter to $5.9 billion at the end of the December quarter with
approximately $1 billion in net new deposits, making up the majority of the $1.4 billion increase.
Total revenue for the quarter was $164.8 million, including approximately $86.5 million in
transaction revenue and approximately $57 million in lending and staking activities. As I discussed
on our last call, revenue from lending and staking activities was a priority for us and exceeded the
target of $50 million we previously provided. Despite some of the rates decreasing overall, we were
able to surpass our expectations with an overall increase in assets available to earn yields on, due to
our increased net deposits as well as an increase in our staking activities as we are now earning
staking revenue across 11 coins.
Looking at some of our unit economics. Average revenue per user was particularly strong at $57 for
the December quarter. While our [Technical Difficulty ] increase to approximately 160 for the
quarter, we believe that payback period continues to be very compelling at just under 3 months. On
expenses, we continue to invest heavily in marketing, as evidenced by our higher customer
acquisition costs. Marketing expenses more than doubled from approximately $17 million in the
September quarter to more than $35 million -- sorry, $17 million in the September quarter to more
than $35 million in the December quarter. We continue to invest more heavily in our digital
advertising spend as a top 50 app and also established several long-term sponsorship programs
such as the Dallas Mavericks and the National Women's Soccer League.
Additionally, our rewards program continues to be a driving factor of success. And while the overall
cost has increased, we have actively managed this cost against our lending and staking activities
with a future focus on turning this to a profitable business line. On an adjusted EBITDA basis, we
reported $17.4 million for the quarter, a margin of approximately 10.5%.
Again, as previously discussed, we are comfortable with this current level of profitability as we look
to prioritize accelerating growth in funded accounts and deposits. The beginning of 2022 has led to
lower market volumes, although we have recently seen a slight uptick in volume. The diversification
of our revenue is leading us to believe that even in times of lower market activity and lower crypto
prices, our minimum quarterly revenue will exceed $100 million. The increased revenue
diversification strategy and product road map will only increase the minimum floor as well increase
volumes and market prices.
This concludes our prepared remarks. With that, I will now turn it over to our operator, who will
open the line for questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator: [Operator Instructions] We'll take our first question from Chris Allen with Compass
Point. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Q - Chris Allen
Good morning, everyone. Thanks for taking my questions. Just -- maybe you could just start off just
on the rewards paid to customers. You noted that lending and staking revenues have been
increasing, some positive trends there and I can kind of close that gap. Maybe any color in terms of

the time frame in terms of when you can close the gap and turn that profitable and whether there's
further opportunities to build out staking from here moving forward?
Steve Ehrlich
Yeah. Thanks for the question, Chris, and thanks for joining us this morning. The -- we don't have a
time frame on it. It's part of an ongoing effort to increase the staking. There are certain coins, I'll
take Avalanche for one, and we have a deep partnership with Avalanche that we're building to their
notes and working with our custodians to make sure that we can stake. Hopefully, that comes -- we
finish that sooner rather than later, and that will be a substantial increase in revenue for us on that,
too. So it's just a matter of as we keep increasing the custodians we have and working on with them
on the nodes, increasing it, there's no set time frame, but we're -- we believe, in 2022 at some point.
Chris Allen
Got it. And maybe just some additional color on the current environment. Helpful that you
provided the minimum revenue base moving forward on expectations around that. Account growth,
obviously, was very strong in the December quarter, and conversion to funded accounts seemed
pretty solid. How account growth trends have been so far in 2022 and what's a bit of a more
challenging backdrop? And have you seen consistency in converting verified accounts to funded
accounts in the current environment?
Steve Ehrlich
We have seen consistent account growth in the quarter. So we will continue to see that as the
marketing, and it is becoming a little bit more challenging. I think you can -- market volumes are
lower in the quarter, as Evan noted. But we're still seeing those accounts open. And we believe that
with the debit card coming, we will increase the conversion ratio from verified users to fund it as
well.
There's a lot of interest in people using digital assets in USTC and the way we've structured the
debit card. So continued account growth, we think we'll increase that percentage between funded as
a verified and continue to grow the business even in a market that's a little bit challenging.
Chris Allen
Thanks, guys. I’ll get back in the queue.
Operator
And we'll take our next question from Adhir Kadve with Eight Capital. Please go ahead.
Adhir Kadve
Good morning, guys. Thanks for taking my questions here. Just in terms of the debit card program,
I know you said you rolled it out to a select few employees, and then there's a chance to grow it past
that. But from those select few employees, maybe can you talk about some of the learnings from
that. I think the reason I asked is because I think Visa reported that they saw $2.5 billion in
transaction volumes with crypto-linked cards. So clearly, very strong demand for that type of
product. But I was wondering if you can just touch on what you've learned from these employees
and what you can -- what enhancements you're going to make prior to the broader rollout.
Steve Ehrlich
Yes. The early adoption, and I was one of them, and we did a Twitter social posting on that and got

a tremendous amount of views that shows the excitement that we have for it, it's all about what
we're working on, on the back end of it, like make sure everything goes through, everything flows
through, the proper reporting is necessary, canceling things. It's -- those are all the testing we're
going through with all the employees, and everything seems to be going great.
And as that continues to be tested, we'll continue to roll it out to that 200,000 group. And it will
just take some time to do that. We're not going to be foolish and roll 200,000 out in a week. We're
going to do that over time to make sure that we could support those customers as they come on. So
specific learnings I'm not going to disclose, but I'll tell you the back end of what we're working on
has been very, very good, better than anticipated.
Adhir Kadve
Perfect. Thank you. And then just maybe from a user characteristics point of view, the new users
that you are getting on the platform, do you see that they've kind of changed from six months ago?
Are they depositing more on the platform, bringing in more funds from other platform? Any color
you can provide on maybe the cohort of these new users versus past users?
Steve Ehrlich
Yes. I'll tell you this, that I've always said this, the first 500,000 users won't equal and won't look
like the next 500,000, which won't look like the next 500,000. We're getting continued deposits
from existing customers, and they always start small. They always come in and they put a little bit
in. And remember, our initial funding limit for every customer is only $10,000. And when they get
comfortable, they see they can use their money right away, they can get it out, they start increasing
more. But it's a longer time frame here that we expect is that people will start coming in with a
couple of thousand and keep building on top of that. And that's what we're seeing is continued
deposits from consumers over time. And so we -- it's just a trend. I think people want to get
comfortable expecting when you're getting some new people into crypto, they want to make sure
that they can access the funds, and then they'll add more.
Adhir Kadve
Perfect. And then maybe just one last one for me, and then I'll pass the line. I saw that you
appointed a new Head of Development. Can you maybe tell us, do you think you'll be more active
on M&A or continue to be active on M&A and maybe in what capacity?
Steve Ehrlich
Yes, we hired Marshall Jensen as our Head of Corporate Development. We see a lot of things across
our desk. A lot of bankers bring us a lot of opportunities. We're also -- we believe we'll be more
active. We've got to find the right fit from a number of customers from culture of that company,
growth and what opportunities. So, there's a lot of things we can look at and we're going to continue
to look at. And when we find the right fit, we'll acquire.
But that said, we've been pretty active in four years. I think we've done four acquisitions. That's
pretty good for a really young company, and we fill gaps, right? I mean I think when -- with the
acquisitions we have done, whether it was the Ethos acquisition and we got all our IP that allows us
to do the crypto transfers to the latest being Coinify, where now we have payment rails that are
helping us accelerate the European expansion, we're going to find things that fit us and fit us from a
cultural perspective. So, -- and thanks, Adhir, for joining us this morning.

Thank you guys. Appreciate all the color. I'll pass the line.
Operator
We'll take our next question from George Sutton with Craig-Hallum. Please go ahead, your line is
open.
George Sutton
Thank you. I was just wondering if you could discuss your willingness to let the CAC grow over time
relative to payback periods. I'd say that obviously in the context of larger competitors out there. But
I'm wondering how this might change with a broadened portfolio including the debit card?
Steve Ehrlich
Well, thanks, George. Thanks again for us today. Look, I think CAC will grow over time here,
especially to what you referred to in the competitive landscape. It is getting more competitive, so
you'll see it grow. And the timeframe will probably expand for us, too. And we're fine with that, we
think it will definitely grow.
Evan Psaropoulos
And the other thing just to add to that, George, as we deliver more products and add to it, our
average revenue per user should expand, too. So the payback will work in that favor as well.
Steve Ehrlich
Yes, that's part of the strategy of debit card, to your question. On the debit card, bringing that we'll
bring more assets that consumers will hold with us. We're seeing a lot of people already saying
they're going to eliminate their bank and come use Voyager or as their bank. And so that's one
product, then the equity trading, then the credit products, we're going to add the NFT products.
We'll expand the ARPU and therefore, allow us to get more value out of each customer and bring
them more value actually. Even more importantly, it's not just us getting the value out of it is
bringing the value back to the consumer, where they look to office at out they want to go to, to
handle their financial world through digital currencies and digital assets.
George Sutton
Just one other thing. You had mentioned early that you were pursuing the NFT opportunity. You've
given us a little bit of detail. I just wondered if we could get a state of the state relative to your NFT
opportunity as you see it.
Steve Ehrlich
Yes, we've hired a team strategy and development resources and building it out. Similar to the way
we execute our business for trading in that we connect to multiple places, we believe that there are
so many marketplaces out there. Consumers want to be able to access them all. And how we deliver
that entire environment to them is what we believe is the future of NFTs. It's not just one
marketplace, and so we're looking at a solution that encompasses a larger scale all off the Voyager
platform.
George Sutton
Super. Well, your results were good enough this morning you get the whole crypto market going

this morning, so congratulations.
Steve Ehrlich
Thank you, George. Appreciate it.
Operator
And we'll take the next question from Joe Gomes with Noble Capital. Please go ahead. Your line is
open.
Joe Gomes
Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions.
Steve Ehrlich
Thanks Joe.
Joe Gomes
I don't know if I missed this, but did you mention what the spread was this morning?
Evan Psaropoulos
Hi, Joe, thanks for joining us. It's Evan here. No, we didn't touch on it, but I'm happy to update you
on it. I'll give it to you in two ways. Average spreads without stable coins affect in our volume was
110 basis points, similar to what we reported in Q1. And then if you remember, we don't take a fee
on stable coins. If I include stable coins in that calculation, the spread was 90 basis points,
compared to 82 in the prior quarter.
Joe Gomes
Okay. Thanks for that. And then, Steve, I wonder if you might be able to touch. You had the great
Dallas Mavericks program last quarter. Maybe give us a little color on what kind of tail is that
showing. I mean was it won and done, or are we still seeing interest from that program moving over
into Voyager, even adding more accounts?
Steve Ehrlich
Yeah. We're seeing a tail on that as we continue to do more things and with them as well, and we
have some other programs that are coming out shortly related to that as well. But what also gets us
really excited at this point in time is the NWSL season starts -- kicks off in about a month. And the
fan base and what we're doing there and some of the partners that we're doing that sponsorship
with will give us another opportunity to reach more consumers with our whole mantra of Crypto for
All and bringing the crypto products and digital assets to a wider group of customers. That gets us
really excited as well. So we're seeing the tail on Dallas. And then in about a month, the NWSL kicks
off, and we're excited about that, too.
Joe Gomes
Great. And then one more, if I may. It's been a tough market in terms of the stock price. Anything -any plans for maybe looking at accelerating stock buyback? I know you're investing heavily in the
company, but just seeing as to where the stock price is these days?

I prefer not to comment on what we're going to plan on the stock buyback at this point in time. We
have our program. It's been filed, as you know, and it's out there. And if we believe it's the right
time to buy stock back, we will. But the program is out there for us to execute when we feel it's the
right time.
Joe Gomes
Great. I’ll pass the line. Thanks guys. I appreciate it.
Operator
We'll take our next question from Kevin Dede with H.C. Wainwright. Please go ahead.
Kevin Dede
Hi, Steve, Kevin Dede. Could you just peel the onion back a little bit on your digital marketing
initiative? I know you've got a new person on Board and have had for a while. Can you just talk a
little bit about where you're taking that and some of the results you've seen increased CAC?
Steve Ehrlich
Yes. Look, I think – and thanks for joining us, Kevin. I appreciate it. Look, I think Pam Kramer is
still our CMO, and she's running our programs. And I believe even though the CAC has increased,
we've been quite effective in what we've been doing, and the payback has been effective. We did
bring in a person to run our partnership marketing. I'm not going to give her name because she'll
get 1,000 e-mails from every NFL and Major League Baseball and NHL and etcetera, reaching out
to her along with everything else.
But we're expanding our marketing reach. Digital has been effective. We're looking at other
opportunities. And to the previous question, CAC will probably expand a bit here. But as we bring
more products on it, we're going to get the return back on the customers as well. So it's about
expanding it. We've been extremely effective in the digital channels and looking at other
opportunities where we don't think others are and to spend and be active in those places.
Kevin Dede
So just to make sure I understand. You had your comments straight. Steve, you thought -- or you
mentioned that you think you'll open in Europe sometime this year, this calendar year on the
license in France?
Steve Ehrlich
Yes. We're opening in Europe sometime in 2022. We're working hard with the quantified folks in
getting it up and running there. I don't want to set a time table on it, but it's definitely in 2022 is
our target.
Kevin Dede
Great. All right. Thanks. Appreciate, taking the questions.
Steve Ehrlich
Thanks Kev.

We'll take our next question from Chris Sakai with Singular Research.
Chris Sakai
Hi good morning. Just a question on, I guess, cost per account acquisition and the payback period
on that, how has that been this quarter?
Evan Psaropoulos
Yes. Thanks, Chris. We reported we had customer acquisition costs at about $160 per month on
average for the quarter and average revenue per user around $57, so less than 3-month payback
period.
Chris Sakai
Okay. Great. And I know Steve mentioned a bunch about marketing programs. Is there any -- can
you shed any light on any new ones like Dallas Mavericks going forward?
Steve Ehrlich
Nothing I could report right now. Obviously, there's conversations going on across various sports
teams, individuals, etcetera, but nothing I'm free to report on right now.
Chris Sakai
Okay. And then last one for me. I mean was -- for Dallas Mavericks, was it a worthwhile program?
Steve Ehrlich
Yes. I mean we -- it's been very successful for us. And as the previous question about the long tail on
it, we're still getting accounts off of that. There is a lot of promotional things we do with the Maves.
Most recently, I was down there and speaking to a group of sponsors of the Texas Legends and
partners of the [indiscernible] team there. And there's a whole bunch of things going on that we
continue to get a tail on the Mavs.
Chris Sakai
Okay. All right, great. Thanks.

just wondering if you actually view that development as a positive for the space despite the fine that
was levied on them.
And I just want to clarify, do you think you would have to go down a similar path as BlockFi in
terms of filing an S-1 with the SEC, or do you believe that the current structure you have sufficiently
would protect you from having to go down that path?
Steve Ehrlich
Yes. So thanks for taking the time, Kyle. Appreciate it. Look, I think, and we've been saying this for
a while, that we believe thoughtful regulation is important for the growth of the industry. And I
think by reading the order, there is a path to regulation. And so that gets us looking at that and
examining it.
But as we've always said, there will be a path to regulation in crypto, and this is probably one of the
first steps. How it relates to us is being evaluated, and I can't really share anything more because
that's conversations between myself, our internal GC, our advisers. And we have a very, very deep
team, and we're evaluating all that at this point in time.
Kyle Voigt
Got it. That's helpful. And then just on Europe, as we get closer to the launch there at some point in
this calendar year, just wondering if you could give any more details regarding what you're thinking
in terms of launching in specific countries there. Obviously, there's France that will launch. But just
curious, if we should think about more of a staggered launch across Europe and kind of how that
will play out. Should we expect most countries and running across Europe by this calendar year, or
will that be staggered into 2023? Thank you.
Steve Ehrlich
Yes. It's definitely a staggered approach. It's the same thing is bringing the debit card to market. We
wouldn't want to bring 20 countries on at one time. We want to do it really
structured and stagger to make sure we get the learnings and just grow from there. So obviously,
France is a very high priority for us having the license there. And we already have an existing
business in Denmark. So two countries that we're excited about right off the get-go. But we will
stagger it to make sure that we do it properly and give the customers. And again, it always comes
back to the customers with us, how are we going to give them the best experience in using Voyager,
and we want to make sure we do that right for them right from the get-go.
Kyle Voigt
Helpful. Thanks, Steve.
Steve Ehrlich
Thank you, Kyle.

regard to the staking program, and thanks for the color on Avalanche in particular. What
percentage of Voyager's rewards program is currently being funded out of staking versus lending?
And how do you see those percentages shifting over time? Thank you.
Steve Ehrlich
Yeah. Thanks, Mark. Thanks for taking the time this morning. I think on the face of our financials,
on the P&L, we talked about what the staking revenue is versus the lending revenue. And our goal is
to state more and more. Let's take E for an example. We just started staking E, and we'll continue to
move that out of lending into staking. Then you add Avalanche and some of the other coins we're
working on. Our goal is to really get it top heavy on the staking side more so than the lending side.
Mark Palmer
Thanks very much.

Thanks Mark.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who joined the call today, who’s going to listen to the replay on
it. We really appreciate your interest in Voyager. We're extremely excited about our product path
for 2022. There's a lot on our plate, but we know with the team we have and the growth and the
additions we've made to our leadership team and our entire staff, we're excited about executing on
that plan. We think we're -- we're an execution-based company, and we're going to continue to grow
our business. And so thank you again for taking the time, exciting time to be in crypto. I look
forward to speaking to everyone soon.
Operator
Thank you. And this does conclude today's program. Thank you for your participation. You may
disconnect at any time.

9
A.
I don't know.
10
Q.
Okay.
11
12
13
14
So what does it matter you say that
Voyager buys it on his behalf?
A.
Well, I don't know if it's kept in Voyager's
name or another name, I guess I should say.
Q.
Okay.
So, going back to this interest, is
15
there anything unique that you can see here or tell us
16
about Mr. Cassidy that makes it different from anyone
17
else that was registered in the Voyager Earning Program
18
in terms of how this interest is paid?
19
A.
Not looking at this, no.
20
Q.
Okay.
And I don't want to ‐‐ I don't want to
21
spend hours on this.
I mean, if Mr. Cassidy was in
22
Texas or if he was in California, would there be any
23
different that you would look at in this chart in terms
24
of how he was paid interest every month if both people
25
met the minimum amount that was necessary each month?

BY MR. MOSKOWITZ:
6
7
Q.
So there's no distinction for the Voyager Earn
Program by state.
8
Is there any difference in terms of how much
9
besides just their percentage would be higher?
You
10
don't, like, get treated completely different if you
11
have $100,000 versus whatever the minimum amount is; you
12
would just get more ‐‐ more interest at that month,
13
correct?

MR. SADEGHI:
Objection to form.
15
THE WITNESS:
Yes, as far as I'm aware.
16
17
BY MR. MOSKOWITZ:
Q.
Okay.
And sitting here today as the corporate
18
rep ‐‐ representative, do you know if anything from
19
Mr. Cassidy's account, looking at his account, that
20
makes him unique or different from any other investor
21
with Voyager Digital, LLC, on the platform?
22
23

A.
No.

Why ‐‐ for those subsequent changes

easy process of having this "click this button," and if
23
you click it, then you could go back, type in the user
24
ID, and you can see, simply, if they clicked it and read

it or even received it.
Why don't you do that?

CASE NO.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
8.
I reviewed the Declaration of Shannon Casey in support of Defendants’ Motion
to Compel Arbitration. I did not receive the April 18, 2021, email notifying of the April 16, 2021
update to the Customer Agreement. It was not marked as SPAM or delivered to a SPAM folder,
nor was it in the trash folder.
9.
I did not receive any email, notification, or any other form of actual notice of any
of the other versions of the Customer Agreement referenced in Shannon Casey’s declaration.
Further, I have never received any form of explanation regarding what revisions were made to
the Customer Agreement at any time.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the
foregoing is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief.
Executed February 23, 2022.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
MARK CASSIDY, on behalf of himself
and others similarly situated,
Plaintiff,
v.
VOYAGER DIGITAL LTD, and
VOYAGER DIGITAL LLC
Defendants.
__________________________________/
DECLARATION OF MARK CASSIDY IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
I, Mark Cassidy, hereby declare as follows:
1.
I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein, and if called upon as a
witness, I would and could testify competently to the matters set forth herein.
2.
I am a citizen and resident of the State of Florida and am 30 years old.
3.
I created my Voyager account on March 17, 2021.
4.
I placed the trade orders identified in the complaint, see Compl. ¶ 58, and an
additional purchase of bitcoin (BTC) on July 31, 2021.
5.
On August 17, 2021, I sold all of my holdings in my Voyager account and
transferred the funds out.
6.
Since then, I have not conducted trades on the Voyager platform, but did not
cancel my Voyager account.

CASE NO.: 21-24441-CIV-ALTONAGA/Torres
7.
On January 31, 2022, I attempted to log in to the Voyager account to obtain
information regarding my account activity for this lawsuit, but my account was inaccessible.
8.
I submitted a “forgot my password” request, received a link, and reset my
password. Upon attempting to log in to my account with the new password, I received a
notification that now my email was invalid and/or not associated with a Voyager account.
9.
I repeated the process a second time with a new password, and I received the same
notification.
10.
Users apparently cannot contact Defendants by phone with questions about their
account—the only available number I found is for “Investor Relations.” I placed several calls
and left at least one voicemail to the Investor Relations number to get an answer regarding the
apparent deactivation of my account, but to date have received no response.
11.
My only other avenue to contact Voyager was through a written request submitted
on a fillable form on Voyager’s website provided by Zendesk. So, unable to reach anyone on the
phone and unable to access my account through the App, at 10:29pm on January 31st, I submitted
a request in writing through the investvoyager.com website and requested “Details of account
including transactions and date of opening/closing.”
12.
On February 1st at 8:04 AM, I received an email response from Zendesk giving
me a link to a “tax/transaction report request form,” but was given no explanation about the status
of my account.
13.
As of the time of this declaration, I still have not accessed my account through
the Voyager App, and I am waiting for a response to my phone calls and voicemail left on
Defendants’ Investor Relations line.

New Jersey Bureau of Securities Orders
Cryptocurrency Company ‘Voyager Digital’
to Stop Offering and Selling Interest-Bearing
Accounts - New Jersey Office of Attorney
General
NJOAG Communications
View Summary Cease and Desist Order
NEWARK – Acting Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin today announced that
the New Jersey Bureau of Securities has issued a Summary Cease and Desist Order
to stop a Jersey City-based financial services company from selling unregistered
securities in the form of interest-earning cryptocurrency accounts that have raised
at least $5 billion nationwide.
Voyager Digital Ltd., Voyager Digital, LLC, and Voyager Digital Holdings, Inc.
(Voyager) have allegedly been funding Voyager’s income generating activities
—including lending operations, digital asset staking, and proprietary trading—at
least in part through the sale of unregistered securities in the form of
cryptocurrency interest-earning accounts in violation of the Securities Law,
according to the Order the Bureau issued today.
“Today’s action says loud and clear that the cryptocurrency securities market is not
the Wild West, and investor-protection laws absolutely apply,” said Acting Attorney
General Platkin. “Through efforts like this one, we continue to hold accountable all
those who threaten the integrity of our financial industry and place investors at
risk.”
The Bureau’s action against Voyager marks the third time it has acted to stop a New
Jersey-based cryptocurrency firm from offering and selling unregistered securities
in the form of interest-bearing accounts.
In July 2021, the Bureau announced a Summary Cease and Desist Order against
BlockFi Lending, LLC (BlockFi), which raised at least $14.7 billion from the
unlawful sale of unregistered securities worldwide. In February 2022, the Bureau
entered a settlement with BlockFi that required the company to, among other
things, stop the offer and sale of its interest-bearing cryptocurrency accounts until
they were registered with state and federal securities regulators. The settlement also
required BlockFi to pay regulators a total of $100 million, including $943,396.22 to
New Jersey.
In September 2021, the Bureau announced a Summary Cease and Desist Order
against Celsius Network LLC, whose unlawful sale of unregistered securities had
raised at least $14 billion nationwide.
“The rules are clear: anyone selling securities in New Jersey must comply with the

State’s securities laws,” said Sean P. Neafsey, Acting Director of the Division of
Consumer Affairs. “Our Bureau of Securities will continue to protect investors by
monitoring the marketplace to ensure everyone is following the rules, especially
when it comes to the ever-evolving cryptocurrency market.”
Unregistered securities offerings pose significant risk to investors because the
issuers do not make the same types of disclosures, including, for example,
providing detailed financial statements that typically accompany registered
offerings.
Investors in unregistered offerings, like the “Voyager Earn Program Accounts”
addressed by the Bureau’s Order today, may not receive any information about the
specific investment strategies used by the issuer to generate investment returns,
may not be advised about the creditworthiness of counterparties with whom the
issuer does business, and may not be apprised of the use of leverage, or other risky
investment strategies employed by the issuer to generate a return. In contrast,
registered offerings typically provide detailed information for investors to make
reasonably informed decisions about the level of risk a particular investment
entails.
According to the Bureau’s findings, Voyager solicits investors to invest in the
Voyager Earn Program Accounts by depositing certain eligible cryptocurrencies into
the investors’ Voyager account. Voyager then pools these cryptocurrencies together
to fund its various income generating activities, including lending operations,
digital asset staking, proprietary trading, and investments in other cryptocurrency
trading platforms, such as Celsius Network. In exchange for investing in the
Voyager Earn Program Accounts, investors are promised an attractive interest rate
that is paid monthly in the same type of cryptocurrency as originally invested.
As of March 1, 2022, Voyager had approximately 1,530,000 Voyager Earn Program
Accounts representing approximately $5 billion in assets, of which approximately
52,800 were New Jersey-based accounts representing approximately $197 million
in assets.
The Voyager Earn Program Accounts are not registered with the Bureau or any
other securities regulatory authority, nor are they otherwise exempt from
registration. Digital assets contained in Voyager Earn Program Accounts are not
protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”), insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), or insured by the National Credit
Union Administration (“NCUA”).
“Platforms like Voyager that offer interest-bearing financial products may mirror
the traditional financial structures we know and trust, but their lack of a protective
scheme or regulatory oversight subjects investors to additional risks not borne by
those who maintain assets with most SIPC member broker-dealers, or with banks,
savings associations, or credit unions,” said Acting Bureau Chief Amy G. Kopleton.
“This adds a layer of risk to these cryptocurrency products and makes it all the more
important for individuals to do their homework and fully understand the offerings
before investing in them.”
The Bureau’s investigation was handled by Investigator Delfin Rodriguez of the
Bureau of Securities, within the Division of Consumer Affairs. The Bureau is
represented by Assistant Attorney General Brian F. McDonough and Deputy
Attorneys General Victoria A. Manning and Evan A. Showell, Section Chief and

Before You Invest.” Investors can obtain information, including the registration
status and disciplinary history, of any financial professional doing business to or
from New Jersey, by contacting the Bureau toll-free within New Jersey at 1-866I-Invest (1-866-446-8378) or from outside New Jersey at (973) 504-3600, or by

financial professionals or investments.

I. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBSTANTIATING RECORDS
1. I have been asked by The Moskowitz Law Firm, PLLC on behalf of Plaintiffs to
provide a Supplemental Report providing insight on:
a. Voyager’s ‘Earn’ program and how it functions generally, such as on the
blockchain and in the Voyager application
b. Voyager’s Earn program and how it is (or due to a lack of transparency from
Voyager, how it is most likely) generating the revenue to provide interest
payouts
c. Whether or not the activity central to Voyager’s Earn program has properly
represented risk
2. In order to execute this assignment, I reviewed the same relevant documentation per
my Preliminary Report.
II. VOYAGER’S EARN PROGRAM, COMPETITORS, RISK, AND SECURITIES
FACTORS
3. Voyager’s Earn program is a means in which Voyager customers can make deposits of
cryptocurrency to their Voyager accounts (providing Voyager with custody of those
assets) and receive in-kind rewards on a prescribed (monthly) basis 1.
4. Voyager’s Earn program is functionally nearly entirely identical to similar programs
offered by firms such as Celsius and BlockFi. The differences between these

companies and their respective programs are extremely minimal; as some examples,
differences come down to phrasing (use of words like “interest” versus “rewards”),
how frequently rewards are paid out (daily, weekly, or monthly, most commonly) or
specific cryptocurrencies that are offered as part of the program.
“BlockFi makes money via interest fees, withdrawal fees, spreads, sponsorship fees, crypto
mining, as well as premiums collected from investments into other trusts.” 2
“BlockFi engages in two activities to generate return: (1) purchasing, as principal, SECregulated equities and predominately CFTC- regulated futures; and (2) lending crypto assets
in the institutional market. See “What are the risks of holding my crypto at BlockFi?” for
more details.” 3
5. How BlockFi was described as making money 4 (interest fees on loans offered to
customers, withdrawal fees paid by customers, etc.) is notably different from specific
phrasing of “SEC-regulated equities and predominantly CFTC-regulated futures; and
(2) lending crypto assets in the institutional market.” The most concerning shared
attribute of BlockFi and Voyager is use of vague (and in my opinion deliberately
misleading) phrasing that enabled BlockFi to have the “out” of “well, technically,
investments into trusts or lending to institutions could mean the money goes into
DeFi.” The most likely reality behind companies like Voyager and BlockFi being able
to offer such high interest or “reward” rates is that a substantially lower amount of
revenue from on-platform activity, such as customer trades/loans/withdrawals, as well
as a substantially lower portion of their revenue from safer activity (loans to reputable,
audited institutions), and that they’re making a significantly higher portion of their
revenue from higher-risk, higher-reward activity, such as DeFi.
“There have also been questions about how the company uses funds from its depositors. News
of its involvement in BadgerDAO will likely add to those questions.” 5
6. Another competitor, Celsius, admitted to losing millions of dollars worth of customer
assets due to a DeFi hack just last December. It should serve as no mystery as to why
there has been an increase in scrutiny on these interest/reward programs by

government agencies since that time: these companies are but a few poor decisions or
unfortunate circumstances away from becoming insolvent. BlockFi recently paid a
large fine to the SEC and stopped accepting US customers 6 for their interest program.
Celsius quickly followed BlockFi in offboarding the same category of customers 7. Todate, Voyager has not taken any similar actions; it is possible that Voyager replicates
what BlockFi and Celsius did with restricting non-accredited US investors from the
rewards/interest program, or it is possible that Voyager instead opts to (continue to)
benefit from the influx of users from BlockFi and Celsius, opting to take this action at
a future date – whether voluntarily or by being compelled to do so.
7. Voyager’s Earn program, as well as their competitor’s programs, generally make
similar (vague, and most likely highly misleading) representations regarding their use
of customer funds and how they generate the revenue that pays out the
interest/rewards for their respective programs. I could perform the exact same
deposit/withdrawal tracing for Voyager competitors and come up with similar
findings: assets are sent to only a handful of destinations, rendering it impossible to
trace further unless those companies produce records or the respective exchange
accounts are subpoenaed. This is by design: neither Voyager, nor BlockFi (nor, as a
rule, any company offering a similar offering of ‘Earn’) want it to be public
knowledge that they are using rehypothecation customer assets in a way that no
reasonable person would say reflects the public representations these companies make
about how they use customer assets. Simplified, it’s effectively certain both BlockFi
and Voyager deliberately mislead the public about how customer assets are utilized,
and I am confident that records produced from cryptocurrency exchanges would prove
this.
8. Companies like Voyager and BlockFi have notorious reputations for leveraging
“influencers” 8 to promote their platforms. Such “influencers” are, unfortunately, often
seen as credible by new and naive cryptocurrency investors that may invest significant
portions of their net worth, or even their life’s savings, in platforms such as Voyager
or BlockFi. The logic is seemingly simple: “this top cryptocurrency influencer says
they use this platform, and where else can I generate 9% interest on dollars?” Neither
these companies, nor these influencers, appropriately represent the risk to these new

https://blog.celsius.network/important-celsius-update-to-our-us-clients-6df471420cc7

Many cryptocurrency “influencers” are not sophisticated or savvy cryptocurrency users and make a living
largely off of their social media following, namely, in their ability to generate income via referral links.

cryptocurrency investors, and instead offer vague and broad risk descriptions in their
terms.
“President Biden’s Executive Order tasked experts across the federal government with
conducting in-depth analysis to balance the responsible development of digital assets with the
risks they present. These tasks will be guided by six policy objectives: first, protect
consumers, investors, and businesses; second, safeguard financial stability from systemic
risk; third, mitigate national security risks; fourth, promote US leadership and economic
competitiveness; fifth, promote equitable access to safe and affordable financial services;
and, finally, support responsible technological advances, which take account of important
design considerations like those related to privacy, human rights, and climate change. Over
approximately the next six months, Treasury will work with colleagues in the White House
and other agencies to produce foundational reports and recommendations related to these
objectives. In many cases, the work tasked by the Executive Order builds upon ongoing efforts
at Treasury.” 9
9. There have been extensive releases, statements, and actions from government agencies
related to cryptocurrency in recent history. Secretary Yellen’s remarks on digital
assets leave no room for mystery. The first priority includes consumer protection; this
is not accidental. The fifth priority states equitable access to safe and affordable
financial services. To state the obvious, it is the opposite of safe to invest a significant
portion of your net worth (let alone your life’s savings) into activity such as DeFi
staking. To invest a significant portion of someone else’s net worth into activity such
as DeFi staking, while painting a picture of far different asset use, adds a layer of
dishonesty on top of risk.
10. Customers of firms like BlockFi and Voyager are led to believe that their assets are
being utilized largely by reputable institutions, not that their assets are being daytraded on platforms like Binance or utilized for extremely high-risk DeFi activity. In
simpler terms, the risk and reward of loaning Ethereum to a reputable and audited
western institution, as opposed to rehypothecation of that Ethereum into DeFi yield
farming, are on entirely different ends of the spectrum. The risk associated with this
reality transcends not just risk for the misled customers of firms like Voyager and
BlockFi that stand to lose significant portions of their net worth, but would be
something I would categorize as an item of national security interest: an increased
likelihood of a hack means an increased likelihood of siphoning of hundreds of

millions or even billions of dollars worth of value out of the western economy and into
the hands of, for example, North Korea 10. While true a western institution using
loaned Bitcoin for arbitrage trading could be hacked, this is generally a less likely
threat than the risk of a DeFi hack. In short, companies like Voyager and BlockFi
misrepresent the risk of utilizing their interest/earn programs since they misrepresent
what customer assets are used for, disregarding and concealing risk, for the sake of
making a risky quick buck.
11. Beyond the misrepresentations regarding risk, from a securities perspective, the
Howey Test defines an investment contract as follows:
a. An investment of money
i. Whether or not cryptocurrency is defined as money is a contentious
issue 11 with different interpretations and parlance factors, however, it is
broadly accepted that cryptocurrency is a means of transferring value.
Cryptocurrencies can and often are utilized as a means of payment.
Above all, cryptocurrencies are most widely utilized as a speculative
investment at this stage.
b. In a common enterprise
i.
As demonstrated in my Preliminary Report, Voyager customer assets
are consolidated into accounts operated by a common enterprise.
Blockchains don’t lie, and the tracing of Voyager customer deposits to
common enterprise accounts is very clear.
c. With the expectation of profit
i.
Customers of Voyager are promised rewards when they participate in
the Earn program. Voyager would have extremely few customers that
retain assets on their platform otherwise, as their primary draw is the
Earn program. Further, any assets utilized by the Voyager ‘Earn’
program are deliberately selected by the customer, which means the
customer opts-in expecting profit.
d. To be derived from the efforts of others
i.
In order for Voyager to generate revenue for the Earn program, efforts
to generate revenue must be made by Voyager. These efforts include
utilization of customer assets (the investment of money). Even the act

of transferring Voyager customer’s assets from a deposit address to a
subsequent wallet or account where Voyager consolidates assets
requires an effort, as it requires a transaction to be initiated.
12. Even under a hypothetical situation where there was a 100% risk-free way to generate
profit off of an investment (which has never existed) of cryptocurrency (which would
sound preposterous to anyone with even rudimentary understanding of cryptocurrency
risk), it would still require an action – a transaction.
III. SUMMARY
13. While I am not a securities attorney, relying upon my expertise in the blockchain
industry and knowledge of how digital assets function, Voyager’s Earn program fits
the criteria of the Howey Test.
14. While I am not a securities attorney, I am an expert in issues such as solvency,
dishonest representation from cryptocurrency companies, hack risk and investigations,
government understanding of and approach to digital assets, the spectrum of
sophistication of industry participants, and other topics. This combination of
experience makes it plain to me that Voyager’s representation of risk is fundamentally
dishonest.
15. It is my opinion that Voyager continuing to offer this Earn program (in addition to
what should be a fairly obvious choice to offboard non-accredited US investors in
light of the recent BlockFi and Celsius actions, as Voyager’s program is
fundamentally the same thing) is functionally equivalent to Voyager continuing to
knowingly misleading naive investors in a highly predatory fashion – despite Celsius
and BlockFi taking actions that should prompt an obvious action from a competitor
offering functionally the same thing. In essence, Voyager appears to have made a
choice to obtain short-term financial benefit from an influx of Celsius and BlockFi
users that they may end up offboarding in the near future (should Voyager elect to take
a similar offboarding measure), perhaps after having such customers “locked in” with
promotions.
16. Alternatively, if Voyager simply waits for a US Government agency to tell them to
modify or halt the program, this would reflect extremely poorly on the blockchain
industry and only serve as an example for naysayers of cryptocurrency that refer to the
industry as immature. Semantics regarding securities aside, from a consumer
protection standpoint, there are clear reasons government agencies have taken action
on Celsius and BlockFi, and Voyager’s Earn program is not fundamentally different
from the programs of their competitors.

IN THE MATTER OF:
Voyager Digital Ltd., Voyager Digital
Holdings, Inc. and Voyager Digital, LLC,
SUMMARY CEASE
AND DESIST ORDER
Respondents.
Pursuant to the authority granted to Amy G. Kopleton, Acting Chief of the New Jersey
Bureau of Securities ("Bureau Chief'), under the Uniform Securities Law (1997), N.J.S.A. 49:347 to -89 ("Securities Law") and certain regulations thereunder, and based upon documents and
information obtained during the investigation by the New Jersey Bureau of Securities ("Bureau"),
the Bureau Chief hereby finds that there is good cause and it is in the public interest to enter this
Summary Cease and Desist Order ("Order") against Voyager Digital Ltd., Voyager Holdings, Inc.
and Voyager Digital, LLC (collectively, "Voyager").
The Bureau Chief makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law:
FINDINGS OFFACT
1.
Voyager Digital, LLC is a financial services company that generates revenue
through trading, borrowing, staking, and lending cryptocurrency. Since November 1, 2019,
Voyager has been, at least in part, funding its income generating activities, including lending
operations, digital asset staking, and proprietary trading, through the sale of unregistered securities
in the form of cryptocurrency interest-earning accounts. Voyager refers to these unregistered

securities as its "Earn Program," 1 which is a feature of all Voyager cryptocurrency trading accounts
("Voyager Earn Program Accounts,") unless the account holder opts out.
2.
Voyager solicits investors to invest in the Voyager Earn Program Accounts by
depositing certain eligible cryptocurrencies into the investors' Voyager Earn Program Account.
After obtaining transfers of cryptocurrencies from retail investors, Voyager then pools these
cryptocurrencies together to fund its various income generating activities, including lending
operations, proprietary trading, cryptocurrency staking, and investments in other cryptocurrency
trading platforms, such as Celsius Network. In exchange for investing in the Voyager Earn
Program Accounts, investors are promised an attractive interest rate that is paid monthly in the
same type of cryptocurrency as originally invested.
3.
The Voyager Earn Program Accounts are not registered with the Bureau or any
other securities regulatory authority; nor are they otherwise exempt from registration. Digital
assets contained in Voyager Earn Program Accounts are not protected by the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation ("SIPC"), insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"),
or insured by the National Credit Union Administration ("NCUA"). This lack of a protective
scheme or regulatory oversight subjects Voyager Earn Program Account investors to additional
risks not borne by investors who maintain assets with most SIPC member broker-dealers, or with
banks, savings associations, or credit unions, although Voyager does disclose the lack of insurance
of digital assets to Voyager Earn Program Account investors.
4.
As of March 1, 2022, Voyager had approximately 1,530,000 Voyager Earn
Program Accounts representing approximately $5 billion in assets, of which approximately 52,800
were New Jersey-based accounts representing approximately $197 million in assets.
1 At various times, Voyager has referred to its cryptocurrency interest account product as the Voyager Interest Program
and Voyager Rewards.

5.
Despite the Voyager Earn Program Accounts lacking the safeguards that the SIPC,
FDIC, and NCUA would offer, and lacking the regulatory oversight of securities registration, by
March 1, 2022, Voyager's holdings had mushroomed to the equivalent of approximately $5 billion
in cryptocurrency assets from the sale of these unregistered securities in violation of the Securities
Law.
6.
The Bureau Chief enters this Order to protect the investing public by halting the
offer and sale of these unregistered securities, and the contribution of additional assets to existing
Voyager Earn Program Accounts. Nothing in this order shall preclude Voyager, or any of its
affiliates, from paying interest, also known as "Rewards," on the existing Voyager Earn Program
Accounts or refunding principal to the Voyager Earn Program Account investors consistent with
Voyager's Customer Agreement.

The Voyager Earn Program Account Securities
a.
Voyager Earn Program
11.
Voyager offers and sells its Voyager Earn Program Account unregistered securities
in the form of individual and corporate accounts. Investors in these accounts ("Earn Program
Investors") deposit certain popular cryptocurrencies with Voyager to earn "up to 12% Rewards."
The Voyager Earn Program Account "Rewards" rates Voyager advertises are well in excess of the
rates currently being offered on short-term investment grade fixed income securities, or on bank
savings accounts.
12.
Voyager offers its Voyager Earn Program Accounts to all U.S. residents over the
age of eighteen, except residents of New York state.
13 .
When an investor signs up with Voyager, they complete a KYC (Know Your
Customer) protocol in which they input certain identifying personal information, including name,
age and address, and provide verification using an identification document such as a driver's
license. To create an account, a user must check a box next to the statement, "By creating an
account, you agree to our Terms," with the word "terms" hyperlinking to Voyager's Customer
Agreement (the "Voyager Terms"). Links to the Voyager Terms also appear elsewhere on the
Voyager Website.
14.
The Voyager Website states that Voyager requires Earn Program Investors to
maintain a specified minimum average monthly cryptocurrency balance for an Earn Program
Investor to earn interest on Voyager Earn Program Account balances. Specific minimum balances
for particular coins are listed on the Voyager app information page for that coin.
15.
Voyager only accepts certain types of cryptocurrencies for deposit in the Voyager
Earn Program Accounts. Although Voyager refers to its payments to Earn Program Investors as

Voyager Earn Program Investors earn a variable interest rate on their investment
and may withdraw their digital assets at any time, subject to certain restrictions, including
discretionary decisions by Voyager to "delay, modify or prohibit, in whole or in part, any requested
Withdrawal," and withdrawals within sixty days of a cryptocurrency or cash deposit.
17.
The currently monthly interest rates for Earn Program Investors are posted on the
Voyager Website. Voyager's interest rates for deposits of certain cryptocurrencies in its Earn
Program Accounts may be "tiered" with specified rates in effect at any time only applied to
specified portions of cryptocurrency held in the account, according to the Voyager Terms. Annual
interest rates on eligible cryptocurrencies posted on the Voyager Website for March 2022 ranged
from 12% for Polkadot to 0.5% for OMG:

Voyager also pays interest for deposits of certain stablecoins, which are
cryptocurrencies pegged to an external measure of value such as the U.S. dollar, in its Voyager
Earn Program Accounts, as explained on the Voyager Website. For example, Voyager currently
pays 9% annual interest on deposits of USDC with a minimum balance of 100 USDC.
19.
Voyager's Customer Agreement describes the interest calculation and payment
methodology:
10. Rewards Program. By entering into this Customer Agreement, and
subject to clause (F) of this Section 10, Customer understands,
acknowledges and agrees that Customer is opting into the Voyager Earn
Program (the "Rewards Program"). The Rewards Program allows
Customer to earn additional Cryptocurrency of the same kind of
Cryptocurrency held in Customer's Account (the "Rewards"). The terms
and conditions governing the Rewards Program are as follows:
* * *
(B) How Rewards Are Calculated. Rewards earned on Cryptocurrency are
variable. Voyager will typically publish anticipated Rewards rates once per
month on or before the first business day of each month. Reward rates may
be tiered, with specified rates in effect at any time only applied to specified
portions of amounts of Cryptocurrency held in the Account. Rewards will
be payable in arrears and added to the Account on or before the fifth
business day of each calendar month for the prior calendar month. Voyager
uses the daily balance method to calculate the Rewards on the Account. This
method applies a daily periodic rate to the specified principal in the Account
each day. The daily periodic rate is calculated by dividing the applicable
interest rate by three hundred sixty-five (365) days, even in leap years.
Voyager will determine the Reward rates and tiers for each month in
Voyager's sole discretion, and Customer acknowledges that such Rewards
may not be equivalent to benchmark interest rates observed in the market
for bank deposit accounts.
b.
Voyager's Promotion of Earn Program Accounts as Investment Products
20.
Voyager encourages its Earn Program Investors to think of their Voyager Earn
Program Accounts as investments as evidenced by Voyager' s own homepage address:
https://www.investvoyager.com/ and certain investment-related statements on Voyager's website,

c.
Voyager's Use of the Earn Program Account Deposit Funds
21.
The Voyager Customer Agreement provides that an Earn Program Investor
relinquishes control over the deposited cryptocurrency to Voyager and that Voyager is free to use
those assets as it sees fit, including commingling the Earn Program Investor's cryptocurrency with
those of other Earn Program Investors, investing those pooled assets, and staking them, or lending
them to various third parties, including custodians and other financial institutions. Having
relinquished control over the deposited cryptocurrency in their Voyager Earn Program Accounts,
the Earn Program Investors are passive investors.
22.
Specifically, Paragraph 10. A. "Rewards Program - Overview" of the Voyager
Customer Agreement provides:
(A) Overview. Each Customer participating in the Rewards Program
acknowledges and agrees that Voyager may rely on the consent to
rehypothecate granted by each customer pursuant to Section S(D) Consent to Rehypothecate with respect to Cryptocurrency held in

such Customer Account. Such consent to rehypothecate expressly
includes allowing Voyager to (1) stake Cryptocurrency held in an
omnibus fashion through various blockchain protocols (either by
delegating Cryptocurrencies to the financial institutions which, in
return, stake such Cryptocurrencies or using staking service providers
to stake Cryptocurrencies); and (2) lend such Cryptocurrency to
various institutional third parties (each, a "Borrower") determined at
Voyager's sole discretion (each, a "Loan"). Voyager enters into these
Loans as principal and independently negotiates with each Borrower
the terms of a Loan, but these Loans are generally unsecured, for a
fixed term of less than one year or can be repaid on a demand basis,
and provide a fee payable in Cryptocurrency based on the percentage
and denominated in the Cryptocurrency lent. Voyager selects which
and how much Cryptocurrencies are available for such staking
and lending.
23.
In a response to an August 6, 2021 inquiry from the Bureau to Voyager, Voyager
noted that "[a]s of the date of the request, all of the outstanding institutional lending activities
represent uncollateralized loans."
24.
Paragraph 5.D. of Voyager's Customer Agreement, "Consent to Rehypothecate,"
further details the status of cryptocurrency deposited with Voyager by Earn Program Investors:
(D) Consent to Rehypothecate. Customer grants Voyager the right,
subject to applicable law, without further notice to Customer, to hold
Cryptocurrency held in Customer's Account in Voyager's name or
in another name, and to pledge, repledge, hypothecate,
rehypothecate, sell, lend, stake, arrange for staking, or otherwise
transfer or use any amount of such Cryptocurrency, separately or
together with other property, with all attendant rights of ownership,
and for any period of time and without retaining a like amount of
Cryptocurrency, and to use or invest such Cryptocurrency at
Customer's sole risk.
25.
Voyager then pools the deposited cryptocurrencies together with Voyager's other
assets in order to, among other income-generating activities, stake them or, invest those pooled
assets by making loans to various third parties, including custodians and other financial
institutions.

Voyager does not disclose certain material information to Earn Program Investors
that issuers of registered securities must include in a registration statement and provide to
prospective investors in the form of a prospectus pursuant to section 52(d) of the Securities Law.
d.
The Voyager Earn Program Accounts are Unregistered Securities
27.
While certain of Voyager's loan products appear to be licensed under various state
licensing requirements for money services businesses or money transmitters, and Voyager Digital
Ltd. is a registered public company in Canada, the Voyager Earn Program Account is not currently
registered with any federal or state securities regulator, nor is it exempt from registration as
required by law, even though the Voyager Earn Program Account is a "security" and subject to
such requirements.
28 .
Voyager fails to disclose to Earn Program Investors that its Earn Program Account
is not currently registered by federal or state securities regulatory authorities, even though the
Voyager Earn Program Account is a "security" and required to be registered.
e.
Misrepresentations and Omissions in the Marketing of the Voyager Earn
Program Accounts
29.
Voyager represents to the public on its website that it is "publicly traded, licensed,
and regulated." What Voyager fails to disclose in proximity to its advertising claim that it is
"publicly traded," however, is that Voyager Digital, LLC's parent company, Voyager Digital Ltd.,
is publicly traded in Canada, not the U.S., by virtue of its equity securities being listed on the
Toronto Stock Exchange. Thus, Voyager's advertising claim that it is "publicly traded" is
inaccurate with respect to Voyager Digital, LLC, which is not a publicly-traded entity, and creates
a misleading impression with respect to Voyager Digital, LLC's regulatory status, particularly
because Voyager's website notes that "[a]ll services [are] provided by Voyager Digital, LLC. ..

30.
Voyager's claim to be "licensed" stems from state licensing in far fewer than all
U.S. states as a money transmitter, or money services business, which is unrelated to Voyager's
offering and selling of unregistered securities, and may convey the misleading impression to
unsophisticated investors that Voyager is "licensed" to offer and sell such securities, when it is
not.
31.
Notwithstanding its claims to be licensed and regulated, Voyager's Earn Program
Accounts are neither licensed nor regulated by the Bureau, and Voyager has not sought to register
its Earn Program Account with the Bureau, notwithstanding that it is a security required to be
registered with the Bureau.

is cause for the denial of certain exemptions.

the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2019 was
primarily due to an increase of $521 million in trade volumes, and an average spread of 66.3 bps.
Interest income from custodians
Interest revenue from custodians for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 was $1,512,993
and $1,888,218. The Company did not offer this product in the prior period.
Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months and six months ended December 31,
2020, were $6,309,309 and $10,974,568, an increase of $3,568,917 and $5,610,107, respectively. The
increase in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December
31, 2019 was due to an increase in $3,333,045 general and administrative expenses and $235,872 in
product development. The increase in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the six
months ended December 31, 2019 was due to a $6,054,779 increase in general and administrative
expenses offset by a $444,672 decrease in product development.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by 154% and 164% for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2020 to $5,503,539 and $9,742,281, respectively. This increase is primarily due to increased
headcount and underlying infrastructure as well as increased marketing costs and interest paid to
customers.
Product and development expenses
Product and development expenses increased by 41% and decreased by 27% for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2020 to $805,770 and $1,232,287, respectively. The increase for the three months
ended December 31, 2020 is due to increase in development headcount while the decrease for the six
months ended December 31, 2020 is attributed to the increase in headcount offset by a reduction in required
other development costs following the successful launch of the platform including the wallet, bedrock and
technology acquired from Ethos.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, including cash held for customers,
of $11,383,735, an increase from $5,209,993 at June 30, 2020. The $6,173,742 increase was primarily due
to approximately $6 million in negative operating cash offset by $9.5 million from the issuance of special
warrants from the September 2020 and December 2020 private placements and $1.8 million from proceeds
from the exercise of warrants. In addition to cash on hand, the Company has invested approximately $7.5
of December 31, 2020. Furthermore, the Company closed on a $46.0 million private placement in January
2021 and a $100.0 million private placement in February 2021
The Company has sufficient capital to meet its ongoing operating expenses and continue to meet its
obligations on its current project for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2021. Management may
increase or decrease budgeted expenditures depending on results and ongoing volatility in the crypto
market.
Over the next few years, the Company plans on pursuing the below products in order to expand the

Insurance and Wealth Creation Products
Voyager is focused on the delivery of wealth creation products using digital assets and the blockchain to
allow customers to establish and control their own financial freedom.
Significant Milestones since September 30, 2020
Since September 30, 2020, the Company has been very active in adding customer facing products, raising
capital to enhance the liquidity of the Company, making strategic acquisitions to scale the Company, adding
additional products to improve the exposure of the Company and building the management team to position
the Company for expansion.
Acquisitions
In December 2020, the Company acquired the issued and outstanding share capital of LGO SAS, an AMF
regul
common stock, to be issued upon demand and subject to the terms of an

Exchange Listings
The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, on the Borse in Frankfurt, and also on the
OTCQB market. The Company continuously reviews its exchange listings to evaluate what markets can
bring additional exposure to the business. The Company is preparing itself for potential uplistings as its
business continues to grow.
Capital Raising
Through the date of this MD&A the Company was able to raise significant capital. Most of the capital raises
were completed through non-brokered private placements with warrants attached. In December 2020, the
Company completed a brokered private placement offering for the issuance of special warrants at a price
of CDN$1.50 per special warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $8.2 million. Each special
warrant, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the special warrants, is convertible into one
unit of the Company without payment of any additional consideration upon certain conditions being met.
Each unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one-half common share purchase warrant,
with each common share warrant being exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at an
exercise price of CDN$2.50 per share for a term of two years.
Subsequent events
In January 2021, the Company closed on a private placement offering of 8,363,637 shares of common
stock for gross proceeds of approximately $46.0 million. In exchange for their services, the agent for the
offering received a 7% cash commission and compensation warrants entitled it to purchase 585,455 shares
of common stock, at a price of $5.50 per share for a period of 18 months following the closing of the offering.
In February 2021, the Company closed on a private placement offering of 7,633,588 shares of common
stock for gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million. In exchange for their services, the agent for the
offering received a 7% cash commission.

Voyager has entered into multiple relationships with partners who write their trading systems to the Voyager
APIs. The largest of these relationships are Market Rebellion, LLC, which has over 10,000 users, and

RoundlyX helps drive significant customers to the Platform although they have fewer assets per account
then the other two partners.
Interest Program
In November 2019, the Company brought to market its interest program for consumers. Customers were
able to trade Bitcoin and earn interest at the same time, becoming in effect an interest-bearing checking
account. As of March 1, 2021, the Company offered interest on 24 coins with more being planned for the
future.
Presenting at Various Conferences
The Company attended and presented at various conferences, including the Benzinga Small-cap

Listing of Stablecoins and additional Defi Coins
As part of Voyager's product expansion, the Company now lists over 50 coins, including three Stablecoins
and 10 Decentralized Finance Coins. The Company anticipates adding more coins in the near future to
continually grow out its product offering.
Management Team Expansion

expansion into Canada, and in December 2020, closed on the acquisition of LGO, SAS, a French regulated
crypto broker. Any expansion is subject to the Company obtaining all regulatory approvals.
Marketing
In November 2020, Voyager hired Natalie Jaeger as the Head of Digital Marketing. The Company began a
more aggressive marketing strategy which included digital advertising, increased social marketing, and

increased influencer marketing using crypto centric influencers and professional athletes. The Company
will continue to expand its marketing channels in 2021.
FUTURE MILESTONES
The Company expects to accomplish the following in the next 12 months:
add additional exchanges to which VDL is a member, so as to expand the depth of liquidity;
expand the business into the European and Canadian marketplaces;
increase the number of businesses using the Voyager Institutional, thereby increasing the number
of customers using the Platform;
continue to develop, refine and expand the functionality of the Platform, including but not limited to
bank accounts, basket trades, debit cards, margin trading and shorting transactions;
engage in strategic acquisitions and ventures whereby the Company increases its customer base,
products and addressable market; and
obtain New York State Bit License.
Trends
In the cryptocurrency industry, there exist multiple exchanges offering online trading and wallets and
multiple online/mobile players providing components of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The largest US
exchanges are Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini and Binance (US). Their models offer platforms that only send
trades singularly to their wholly owned exchange with little or no information available on the platform. VDH
differs from the exchanges as it delivers a mobile friendly experience with an ease of use that is unmatched
by the exchanges. Additionally, exchanges focus on Institutional volume and not the retail consumer and
experi
The competitive landscape also includes traditional payment and online brokers such as Robinhood, Sofi
Invest, Square, and most recently Paypal, which announced a basic cryptocurrency offering. The Company
has a competitive advantage versus the traditional players as the Company delivers 50+ coins while the
traditional players offer five or less, interest on 24 coins where the traditional players offer no interest, and
the Company offers customers the ability to transfer coins to their own wallet which the traditional players
do not offer.
Trading of Cryptocurrencies
The demand for cryptocurrencies has increased over the past year as cryptocurrencies have become more
widely accepted. Customers expect to be able to utilize more efficient and better infrastructures to support
any of the problems facing people or institutions
that trade cryptocurrencies, including that:
the market is highly fragmented, with more than 200 exchanges facilitating trading of
cryptocurrencies;
there is no centralized place or service in which to trade, which means that users often have to
open accounts with multiple exchanges in order to make the trades they desire on coins they desire;

many of the top tier retail customer exchanges lack a cost-effective fiat on-ramp and off-ramp for
customers to turn dollars into digital assets via a secure banking provider.
Customers are demanding a one stop shop where they can trade, earn interest and invest in
cryptocurrencies. Voyager provides consumers with the platform to fill this gap and create wealth for
consumers.
Capital Resources, Liquidity, Financial Instruments and Other Risks
Capital Resources

2020. Additionally, the Company ha
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which presumes realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business
for the foreseeable future. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not give
effect to adjustments or disclosures that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and
commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those presented
in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company has historically funded its operations through the issuance of common stock. The
Company does not currently generate sufficient revenue to sustain operations without outside third-party
financing.
The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as it expands its
product offering and invests in expanding its customer account base, which would require additional third
party financing. Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations
through at least the next twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements were
available to be issued.

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has resulted in governments worldwide

implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have affected

Working Capital
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had net working capital of approximately $ 0.6 million compared
to $0.2 million at June 30, 2020. Management has funded operations through a mix of revenue growth,
Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was $6.1 million compared
to cash used for operating activities of $2.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The
$3.4 million increase was due to a $4.2 million change in working capital, primarily due to net changes
between Payables to customers and Digital currencies and fiat as a result of higher volume of activity and
assets under management from growth in the business. The Company recorded cash provided from
investing activities of $87,960 for the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to cash used in
investing activities of $90,824 in the six months ended December 31, 2019.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020
compared with $2.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The primary sources of cash
for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were the September 2020 private placement, the December
2020 private placement and the exercising of warrants. In the three months ended September 30, 2019,
the primary source of cash provided by financing activities was the issuance of common stock and
warrants of $1.8 million.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The
Company generally relies on cash reserves, funds generated from operations and external financing to
provide sufficient liquidity to meet budgeted operating requirements.
To the extent that the Company does not believe it has sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations,
management will consider securing additional funds through equity. The Company's ability to continue as
flows and/or management's ability to raise additional financing.
While the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, and management has a high degree
of confidence that this trend of capital raising will continue, there is no assurance that it will be successful
in closing further financings in the future. These interim financial statements do not give effect to any
adjustments to the carrying value of recorded assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, the statement
of financial position classifications used, and disclosures that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
Voyager's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any of its future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very
competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our
management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forwardlooking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends
discussed in this document may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those
anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements herein are qualified by this
cautionary statement. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Readers
are cautioned that past performance is not indicative of future performance and current trends in the business and
demand for crypto assets may not continue and readers should not put undue reliance on past performance and current
trends. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. If the Company
does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates
with respect to those or other forward-looking statements, unless required by law.

order routing to search all open liquidity providers to find a better rate than the quoted price. The Platform
configuration provides customers with high quality trade execution (usually defined by the best prices, certainty of
execution, reliability of the trading venue, and speed of execution). The Platform is designed to be a single access
point to market data, wallet, and custody services for crypto assets.

unsecured institutional loan agreement, but these lending agreements are generally for a fixed term of less

2020, the Company generated approximately $0.9 million in transaction revenue and approximately $0.3 million in
fees on crypto assets loaned, which accounted for 75% and 25% of the Company’s overall revenue, respectively. For
Fiscal 2021, the Company generated approximately $154 million in transaction revenue and approximately $21
million in fees on crypto assets loaned, which accounted for 88% and 12% of the Company’s overall revenue,
respectively.
Voyager utilizes the functional authority granted by customers in the user agreement to move, transfer, store, control
and rehypothecate crypto assets held in customer accounts. Voyager prioritizes the use of secure self-custody solutions
through the Fireblocks platform and cold storage custody with Anchorage as described below. However, Voyager also
seeks to maximize liquidity and efficient trading by holding certain amounts of crypto assets in warm solutions in
Company accounts on Crypto Trading Platforms to settle with trading partners or facilitate trading activity on
exchanges on behalf of customers. Additionally, Voyager maintains some crypto assets in hot wallets to quickly
process customer requested withdrawals and transfers. Finally, Voyager uses its functional authority to enter into
lending agreements with institutional borrowers and other similar revenue generating agreements with institutions.
The Company’s custody strategy is designed to maximize liquidity and efficient trading, by making those assets
readily available to deploy in customer-requested trades. The Company constantly monitors its cash and the balances
it maintains with crypto asset exchanges and institutional borrowers against deposits and withdrawals requested by
customers and, where the Company believes it to be necessary, will monetize crypto assets into fiat currency.
The Company manages crypto assets held internally through the Fireblocks platform. Fireblocks, based in the United
States and Israel, provides a multi-party computation (“MPC”) solution to store, manage and transfer crypto assets
between the Company’s wallets, Crypto Trading Platforms, market makers, institutional borrowers and other
counterparties. Through MPC technology, private keys are distributed across multiple locations to ensure security is
not concentrated to a single device at any point in time. The Company also utilizes the Fireblocks network as a
settlement layer to transact and settle with pre-approved counterparties or entities. The Fireblocks network utilizes
secure enclave technology and data-in-motion encryption to prevent traditional vulnerabilities associated with
authenticating wallet addresses. As such, the Company settles with counterparties or entities without the risk of losing
funds due to deposit address attacks or errors.
Fireblocks is SOC 2 Type II certified for 2021 and undergoes a SOC 2 review on an annual basis. The Company
reviews the Fireblocks SOC 2 report to ensure they maintain a secure technology infrastructure and that their systems
are designed and operating effectively. Additionally, the Company reviews its own complementary customer entity
controls in conjunction with the Fireblocks controls to ensure that applicable trust services criteria can be met.
Fireblocks maintains an insurance policy which has coverage for technology, cyber, and professional liability and is
rated “A” by A.M. Best based on the strength of the policy and has had no known security breaches or incidents. The
Company is not aware of any other limitations on Fireblocks’ insurance.
The Company also custodies customer crypto assets with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. (“Anchorage”), a federally
chartered crypto asset bank regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Anchorage stores private keys
in geographically distributed data centers throughout the United States, using hardware security modules. Anchorage
maintains a crime insurance policy to cover losses from events like theft, destruction of property, and compromised
key generation or transaction processes and has had no known security breaches or incidents. The Company is not
aware of any other limitations on Anchorage’s insurance. The Company is not aware of any other limitations on
Anchorage’s insurance.
The Company prioritizes using Anchorage or Fireblocks’ secure self-custody, but to maintain liquidity for trade
execution, the Company also connects to and maintains crypto asset balances with several Crypto Trading Platforms.
These trading partners are domiciled across multiple geographies including the United States, Cayman Islands, and
Hong Kong. They generally hold insurance that would protect against theft or loss of client assets. However, the
Company cannot ensure that the limits of any such insurance policies will be available to the Company or, if available,
sufficient to make the Company whole for any of its balance that are stolen or lost from such a platform. The Company
does not maintain any insurance coverage over its customers’ assets.

Insurance policies held by the Company’s custodians are between the applicable custodian and the insurer, and
accordingly the custodians’ clients are not generally named payees on such policies. The Company is not always able
to obtain and review copies of the insurance policies of its custodians. The Company cannot ensure that the limits of
any such insurance policies will be available to the Company or, if available, sufficient to make the Company whole
for any of its balance that are stolen or lost from such a custodian.
The Company has a due diligence program for all trading partners and conducts security reviews. Additionally, the
Company assesses security, reputation, liquidity levels in applicable crypto assets, capitalization, management,
internal control practices and operational risks in its determination of utilizing any trading partner, including holding
in person meetings. Once onboarded, each trading partner is monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure they maintain
compliance with required legal and regulatory standings. The Company also operates certain IT security protocols to
ensure privileged and secure access to application programming interface (“API”) connections with all trading
platforms. These procedures are in place to maintain approval processes for the movement of crypto assets held with
trading partners.
At present, the Company generally expects that, of its customer assets, approximately 20-50% will be held in Company
accounts on Crypto Trading Platforms to facilitate liquidity and efficient trading, approximately 30-50% will be either
self-custodied through the Fireblocks platform or held in storage with Anchorage, approximately 15-30% will be held
by institutional borrowers through lending agreements, and approximately 1% will be held internally in “hot” wallets.
However, the Company reserves the right to change the above noted allocations from time to time as it sees fit. As of
Fiscal 2021, the Company had less than 5% of assets held in cold storage.
The Company is not aware of any security breaches or other similar incidents involving self-custodied assets or
customer assets held with any third-party custodians, Crypto Trading Platforms or institutional borrowers or anything
that would affect its ability to obtain an unqualified audit opinion in respect of its audited financial statements. None
of the third-party custodians, Crypto Trading Platforms, or institutional borrowers holding Voyager’s crypto assets is
a “Canadian financial institution” (as defined in NI 45-106) or, other than Anchorage, a foreign equivalent, a related
party of the Company, and none provide services to the Company other than custody, trade execution, and borrowing
transactions. Neither Fireblocks nor Anchorage have appointed sub-custodians to hold customer assets, though the
Company understands that certain of the Crypto Trading Platforms on which the Company maintains balances may
from time to time employ sub-custodians. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of third-party Crypto Trading
Platforms, custodians or institutional borrowers, the Company expects that it would be treated as an unsecured creditor.
The Company also from time to time makes strategic investments in venture-stage companies across the digital asset,
cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, as well as other relevant, sectors. The Company generally invests in
companies that are customers, vendors or suppliers of the Company or that the Company believes may be strategically
important to the future business of the Company. From time to time, members of executive management (including
members of the Board) may have existing positions with or may also participate in or otherwise hold such investments.
In such circumstances, the Company may seek independent Board approval or ratification of its participation in such
transactions that also involve such investments. As of the date of this AIF, such investments are not, either individually
or in the aggregate, material to the operations of the Company.
Specialized Skill and Knowledge
The Company’s success is largely dependent on the performance of its management and key employees, as well as
directors, many of whom have specialized experience relating to the Company’s industry, products, regulatory
environment, customers and business. The Company believes that it has adequate personnel with the specialized skills
and knowledge to successfully carry out the Company’s business and operations. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related
to the Company’s Business” in this AIF for the risks in connection with the Company’s reliance on key personnel for
its continued success.
Competition and Market Participants
In the cryptocurrency industry, there exist multiple Crypto Trading Platforms offering online trading and wallets and
multiple online/mobile players providing components of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The largest US Crypto
Trading Platforms are Coinbase, Kraken, Bittrex and Binance (US). Their models offer platforms that only send trades
singularly to their wholly owned Crypto Trading Platforms with little or no information available on the platform.
Voyager’s agency Crypto Trading Platform uses smart order routing to search multiple Crypto Trading Platforms,

market makers and liquidity providers to strategically fill customer orders often at better prices than those offered by
such Crypto Trading Platforms directly.
The competitive landscape also includes traditional payment and online brokers such as Robinhood, Sofi Invest,
Square, and most recently Paypal, which announced a basic cryptocurrency offering. The Voyager Platform supports
self-directed trading of more than 60 crypto assets, with the ability for customers to transfer certain of their crypto assets to
their own wallet or custody with Voyager.
Intangible Properties
As described above under the heading “Description of Business General – Narrative Description of the Business”,
VIP holds a provisional patent application with the US Patent Office for the development of the Platform. In addition,
the Company has over 20 key domain names, including “investvoyager.ca”, “voyagerdigital.com” and
“vygrdigital.com”, which expire in 2021, with several of them renewing automatically. The Company also has a
trademark application filed in the United States.
Cycles
The Company’s business is not cyclical or seasonal.
Economic Dependence
The Company is dependent upon MC Bank pursuant to the Account Services Agreement in order for VDL to carry
on its business in the majority of states in the United States. VDH entered into the Account Services Agreement with
MC Bank, pursuant to which MC Bank provides deposit and payment systems for VDL’s customers using a custodial
“for the benefit of” account. MC Bank receives fees for wire transactions and account transactions, subject to a
minimum $10,000 monthly fee. See “General Development of the Business - Three Year History” and “Risk Factors
- Risks Related to the Company’s Business - Arrangement with Metropolitan Commercial Bank” in this AIF for
further information.
U.S. Regulatory Matters
The Company has considered whether it is required to register, in any capacity, under the relevant securities,
commodity futures or derivatives legislation of the United States and specifically whether the Company is an
“investment company” under the laws of the United States.
Registration as either a broker or dealer under Section 3(a)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act or as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 turns, as an initial matter, on whether or not the Company supports,
custody’s, intermediates, or facilitates, in any fashion, transactions involving “securities” as defined in section 2(a)(1)
of the Securities Act of 1933. As further described below, the Company has taken reasonable measures to ensure that
it does not support, custody, intermediate, or facilitate any transactions or activities with respect to any product that
constitutes a “security”. Accordingly, the Company has, after obtaining legal advice, determined that it is not required
to be registered in any capacity under applicable U.S. securities laws.
For the avoidance of doubt, due to the fact that the Company does not support or facilitate securities on its Platform,
the Company is not required to register as a broker-dealer or exchange with the SEC as indicated above. The
Company’s conclusion that it is not required to be so registered under U.S. securities laws is based on the due diligence
and risk-based analysis it performs on all digital assets supported, or proposed for inclusion, on its platform. The
Company performs ongoing due diligence and risk-based analysis to ensure that supported digital assets do not
constitute securities under U.S. securities laws.
In particular, the Company performs internal due diligence reviews of all supported digital assets, as well as digital
assets that have been proposed for inclusion on the Company’s platform to determine the likely regulatory treatment
of such digital asset, these procedures may include:
1.
Industry Review. The Company’s operations team (comprised of product, business development,
technology, internal and/or external legal, compliance, finance and marketing personnel) will review the
digital asset’s functional purpose, its competitive position in the industry, the digital asset exchanges on

which it is supported, and its liquidity across markets, including digital asset exchanges, market makers and
OTC desks. The Company will also seek information from the digital asset’s sponsor (such as the issuer,
associated foundation or affiliates thereof).
2.
Technological Review. The Company’s technology team will, to the extent feasible, review the technology
underlying the digital asset, including seeking to ensure that the digital asset functions as described in its
white paper.
3.
Legal Review. Given the ongoing development of the law with respect to whether particular digital assets
qualify as securities under U.S. securities laws, obtaining a formal legal opinion form external counsel as to
the likely regulatory treatment of a particular digital asset may not feasible, and the Company will generally
not seek to obtain such a legal opinion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an effort to determine the likely
regulatory treatment of a digital asset, the Company will (i) seek to engage with legal counsel to the digital
asset issuer or associated foundation, and (ii) when appropriate, work with U.S. securities counsel to apply
applicable U.S. laws and regulations to the digital asset to determine whether it is reasonably likely to be
deemed a security under the existing U.S. laws.
4.
Audit Committee. Assuming that, after undertaking the above steps, the Company’s operations team
recommends that the Company support the applicable digital asset, it will summarize its findings for the
Company’s Audit Committee or such other committee as may be formed for this purpose, for their review
and to confirm satisfactory compliance with the above noted procedures.
5.
Ongoing Monitoring. The Company will on a consistent basis monitor all relevant formal or informal
guidance provided by the SEC (and other applicable regulators) with respect to the regulatory treatment of
digital assets generally, and the digital assets supported by the Company, specifically. In the event that the
Company (i) determines that any of the digital assets it supports have been removed for regulatory reasons
from any digital asset exchanges, market makers or OTC desks, (ii) becomes aware that any of its key
competitors announced that, for regulatory reasons, it would no longer support digital assets listed on the
Platform, or (iii) becomes aware of any information, including adverse media, regulatory disclosures, filings,
statements, or other communications that would materially alter the regulatory treatment of a particular digital
asset, then the Company will undertake a further review and determination focusing on steps 3 and 4 above.
The Company will provide quarterly updates to the board of directors as to any material developments in the
treatment of digital assets or legal developments in the process to be applied to the determination of whether
a digital asset is a security.
6.
Removal of Digital Assets. In the event that the Company’s operations team, with the advice of the
Company’s general counsel and U.S. securities counsel (as necessary), determines that a particular digital
asset likely will be deemed a security under U.S. securities laws, it will advise the Audit Committee or such
other committee as may be formed for this purpose that the digital asset should be removed from the Platform,
and will also make determinations regarding the date on which trading should cease and whether such digital
assets then held by clients must be removed from the platform in order to ensure an orderly wind down of
such digital asset.
The above noted procedures may be subject to change based on, among other things, changes in laws, regulations or
the interpretation thereof or changes in industry practices.
The Company has also considered whether it is subject to additional registration requirements pursuant to the
Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). Specifically, Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) provides the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”),
among other things, authority over any agreement, contract, or transaction in any commodity that is entered into or
offered to a retail customer on a leveraged, margined or financed basis (a “Retail Commodity Transaction”). The
CFTC has provided guidance that certain digital assets, including but not limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum, are
commodities. Retail Commodity Transactions must generally be conducted on or subject to the rules of a board of
trade that has been designated or registered by the CFTC as a contract market or derivatives transaction execution
facility. Further, all persons that accept orders for Retail Commodity Transactions as well as accept funds in
connection therewith, must generally register with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant (“FCM”).

The Company’s platform currently only facilitates ‘spot’ transactions in digital assets. The Company does not provide
any digital asset transactions on a leveraged, margined, or financed basis. Spot transactions are not considered Retail
Commodity Transactions, and therefore the Company is not subject to the registration and CFTC oversight
considerations outlined above.
The Company’s conclusion that it is not subject to the aforementioned additional CFTC oversight and registration
provisions is based upon (a) the plain language of the CEA, (b) the Company’s ongoing review and analysis of relevant
CFTC guidance, (c) review and evaluation of legal advice provided by outside, qualified legal counsel, as well as (d)
ongoing analysis of its operational and business activities.
Notwithstanding these due diligence efforts, the Company recognizes that the legal regime surrounding digital assets
in the U.S. is still evolving. Digital assets are a relatively new asset class, and the SEC and CFTC have not developed
definitive and comprehensive regulatory regimes targeted specifically to digital assets. Rather, the SEC has
communicated to industry participants that it will apply existing securities laws, including the Howey Test, a fourpart test developed by the U.S. Supreme Court to determine whether a particular “investment contract” is a security,
to digital assets.
Given that the Howey Test is almost 75 years old, was not designed with digital assets in mind, and its application is
fact-based, it is possible that the SEC could come to a different conclusion than the Company in respect of a particular
digital asset. In addition, it is possible that the SEC, CFTC, or other state or federal regulator could publish additional
regulatory guidance that dramatically or substantially alters the Company’s regulatory obligations, or that the U.S.
implements a comprehensive regulatory regime in respect of digital asset businesses. In either case, those
developments could result in the Company being required to become registered, removing certain digital assets from
its platform, or being required to cease certain of its operations. See “The Company’s performance will be highly
dependent on the future regulatory environment in the United States and elsewhere, which is challenging and
unpredictable.” and the other risk factors under “Risk Factors”.
Employees
As of Fiscal 2021 year-end, the Company had 141 full-time employees, including management, located in the United
States, Canada and France, of which over 60% were dedicated to customer support, engineering/technology and
marketing roles.
Foreign Operations
The Company is substantially dependent on foreign operations as all of the Company’s operating subsidiaries are in
the United States. See “Corporate Structure - Intercorporate Relationships” and “General Development of the Business
- Three Year History” in this AIF for further information.
The Company intends to expand its business to include Canadians. In order to effect such an expansion, the Company
has applied to the CSA for exemptive relief from certain prospectus and registration requirements it believes are
necessary to operate its business in Canada. In addition, either directly or through one or more affiliates, the Company
intends to apply for registration with the CSA as a “restricted dealer” and to CSA and IIROC for registration as an
investment dealer and a member of IIROC, in each case in accordance with the guidance set out by CSA and IIROC
from time to time, including Joint CSA/IIROC Staff Notice 21-329 – Guidance for Crypto-Asset Trading Platforms:
Compliance with Regulatory Requirements as it may relate to the Company.
On August 2, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Coinify, a leading cryptocurrency payment platform
with a global customer base in over 150 countries. The acquisition accelerates Voyager’s international expansion, and
provides Voyager with an established and effective gateway to the crypto payment industry through its virtual currency
payment platform available in Europe, Asia, North America and South America.
On October 13, 2021, the Company secured final approval to begin onboarding customers in France and the European
Union through its wholly owned subsidiary, LGO Europe SAS, following a standard review by the Autorité des
marchés financiers (AMF) and the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR).

The Company completed the RTO in February 2019 upon closing its change of business and acquiring all of the shares
of VDH. See “General Development of the Business - Three Year History”.
New Products
The Company is developing a debit card through MC Bank. The debit card has been designed internally, and
FiCentive, Inc., a subsidiary of Usio Inc. is the program manager. The components required for the finished product
have not yet been finalized.
RISK FACTORS
The following discussion summarizes the principal risk factors that apply to the Company’s business and that may
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition and results of operations, or the
trading price of the Common Shares. Due to the nature of Voyager’s business, the legal and economic climate in
which it operates and its present stage of development and proposed operations, the Company is subject to significant
risks.
The risks and uncertainties outlined below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair
the operations of the Company. If any such risks actually occur, the financial condition, liquidity and results of
operations of the Company could be materially adversely affected and the ability of the Company to implement its
growth plans could be adversely affected.
An investment in the Company’s Shares is speculative and will be subject to material risks, and investors should not
invest in securities of the Company unless they can afford to lose their entire investment.
Market Risk for Securities.
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Shares will be sustained. The market price for the
Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as government regulation, cryptocurrency price fluctuations,
share price movements of peer companies and competitors, as well as overall market movements, may have a
significant impact on the market price of the Company’s securities. The stock market has from time to time
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies.
Additional Funding Requirements.
Further expansion of the Company’s business, in the United States, Canada and internationally, may require additional
capital; and the ongoing costs of operations may not generate positive cash flow for the near or long term. Although
the Company believes it has adequate funds to operate for the next 12 months, there is no assurance that such funds
will be adequate or that it will be successful in obtaining the required financing for these or other purposes, including
for general working capital. The Company’s ability to secure any required financing to sustain operations may depend
in part upon prevailing capital market conditions and business success. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in its efforts to secure any additional financing or additional financing on terms satisfactory to
management. If additional financing is raised by issuance of additional Shares from treasury, control may change and
Shareholders may suffer dilution. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, the
Company may be required to scale back its business plan or cease operating.
Negative Cash Flow from Operations.
The Company had negative operating cash flow for Fiscal 2020. Although the Company had positive operating cash
flow for Fiscal 2021 and anticipates it will have positive cash flow from operating activities in future periods, the
Company cannot guarantee that it will attain or maintain positive cash flow status into the future.
The Company launched its iOS mobile app in February 2019 in the Apple store and later launched the Android version
in October 2019. The growth in the trading platform is driven by the increase in funded accounts on the Platform.
Additionally, the Company has more recently significantly strengthened its liquidity position in Fiscal 2021 to support
the significant increase in revenues and corresponding spend in new customer acquisition costs to drive growth in

funded accounts.
In Fiscal 2021, the Company had approximately 652,000 new funded accounts added, as compared with approximately
13,000 new funded accounts added in Fiscal 2020. Increased interest in personal finance and investing, a positive
market environment, especially in the U.S., encouraged an unprecedented number of first-time retail customers to
download the Company’s app and begin trading on the Platform.
Changes in, or the development of guidance relating to, accounting standards governing the preparation of the
Company’s financial statements and future events could have a material impact on the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows and other financial data.
From time to time, regulators change the financial accounting and reporting standards governing the preparation of
the Company’s financial statements or the interpretation of those standards. These changes are difficult to predict and
can materially impact how the Company records and reports its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows
and other financial data. In some cases, the Company may be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively
or to apply an existing standard differently, also retroactively, in each case potentially resulting in the restatement of
prior period financial statements and related disclosures. Additionally, the Company accounting policies and methods
are fundamental to how it records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates based upon assumptions about
future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial
statements. If subsequent events occur that are materially different than the assumptions and estimates we used, its
reported financial condition, results of operation and cash flows may be materially negatively impacted.
In addition, the accounting for, and audit standards relating to, crypto assets remain subject to further guidance. To
the extent that such guidance imposes obligations on audit firms that they are not able to meet with respect to the
review of crypto assets, the Company could have difficulty in obtaining an audit opinion, filing audited financial
statements in a timely manner or obtaining an unqualified opinion.
Service on Foreign Directors and Officers.
The Company is a corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia, Canada; however its principal place of
business is in the United States. Most of the Company’s directors and officers, the Company’s auditors, and the
majority of the Company’s assets, are located in the United States.
It may be difficult for customers in the United States to effect service of process within the United States upon those
directors who are not residents of the United States or to enforce against them judgments of the United States courts
based upon civil liability under the United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the
United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada against the Company or against any of its non-United
States directors, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts of liabilities
based solely upon the United States federal securities laws or securities laws of any state within the United States.
Similarly, it may be difficult for customers in Canada to effect service of process within Canada upon those directors,
officers and experts who are residents of the United States, or to enforce against them judgments of the Canadian
courts based upon civil liability under Canadian securities laws. There is doubt as to the enforceability in the United
States against any of the Company’s non-Canadian directors, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of
judgments of Canadian courts of liabilities based solely upon Canadian law.
Foreign Exchange Risk.
The Company is a corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and certain expenses are incurred
and fund raising undertaken in Canadian dollars. Most of its expenses and fund raising is done in Canadian dollars.
Most of the expenses and revenues of the Company’s subsidiaries are denominated in United States dollars. As a
result, the Company is subject to foreign exchange risks relating to the relative value of the United States dollar as
compared to the Canadian dollar. A decline in the United States dollar would result in a decrease in the real value of
the Company’s revenues and adversely impact financial performance.

The Company may from time to time merge with or acquire other companies or businesses both locally and globally.
The integration of the operations and financial systems of any such companies or businesses may require substantial
time and resources from the Company’s personnel, in particular where such companies or businesses operate under
different regulatory regimes or prepare their financial records in accordance with accounting regimes other than IFRS.
To the extent that any such companies or businesses are in a net operating loss position at the time of acquisition, it
may have a negative impact on the Company’s overall financial position.
Additional Taxation May Apply to Dividends Paid to Non-Residents.
Any dividends paid (or deemed for tax purposes to be paid) on Shares to a non-resident of Canada will be subject to
Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25% unless the rate is reduced under the provisions of an applicable double
taxation treaty. Where a non-resident is a United States resident entitled to benefits of the Canada – United States
Income Tax Convention (1980) and is the beneficial recipient of the dividends, then the rate of Canadian withholding
tax is generally reduced to 15%.
Foreign Exchange Risk to Non-Resident Shareholders.
Any future dividends may be declared in Canadian dollars and converted to foreign denominated currencies at the
spot exchange rate at the time of payment. As a consequence, customers are subject to foreign exchange risk. To the
extent that the Canadian dollar strengthens with respect to their currency, the amount of the dividend will be reduced
when converted to their home currency.
Legal and Regulatory Risks of Businesses Based on Cryptocurrencies and Crypto Assets
The regulation of cryptocurrencies and crypto assets continues to evolve in every jurisdiction, and governmental,
regulatory and other changes or actions may restrict the use of cryptocurrencies and crypto assets, the operation
of distributed ledger technologies that support such cryptocurrencies and platforms that facilitate the trading of
such assets and provide certain services in connection with such assets.
As cryptocurrencies and crypto assets have grown in popularity and in market size, governments, regulators and selfregulators (including law enforcement and national security agencies) around the world are examining the operations
of crypto asset issuers, customers and platforms. To the extent that any Canadian, U.S. or other government or quasigovernmental agency imposes additional substantial regulation on any part of the cryptocurrency industry in general,
the issuance of crypto assets, and trading and ownership of and transactions involving the purchase and sale or pledge
of such assets, may be adversely affected, which could adversely affect the Company’s businesses and investments.
The effect of any future regulatory change on crypto asset issuers and participants in general is impossible to predict,
but such change could materially and adversely affect the Company’s trading execution, the value of its assets and the
value of any investment in the Company.
The legal status of cryptocurrency and crypto assets varies substantially from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and is still
undefined and changing in many of them. Likewise, various government agencies, departments, and courts have
classified and continue to classify cryptocurrencies and crypto assets differently. Changes in laws, regulations, policies
and practices could have an adverse effect on the Company, its strategies, business and investments. For example,
regulatory agencies could shut down or restrict the use of Crypto Trading Platforms using cryptocurrencies, crypto
assets or blockchain-based technologies, providing certain services with respect to the foregoing, or otherwise limit
the use of cryptocurrencies. This, and any other changes in laws, regulations, policies and practices, could lead to a
loss of any investment made by or in the Company, and may trigger regulatory action by securities or other regulators,
and result in a material impact to the Company’s business operations and revenue streams. Furthermore, various
jurisdictions may, in the near future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect cryptocurrencies, the related
markets and Crypto Trading Platforms and the ability to use, trade and hold cryptocurrencies. Such laws, regulations
or directives may conflict with one another and may negatively affect the acceptance of cryptocurrencies by customers,
merchants and service providers and may therefore impede the growth or sustainability of the bitcoin economy in
Canada, the United States, the European Union, China, Japan, Russia or other locations and globally, or otherwise
negatively affect the value of cryptocurrencies. Although there continues to be uncertainty about the full impact of
these and other regulatory changes, the Company may become subject to a more complex regulatory framework in
the near future and incur additional costs to comply with new requirements as well as to monitor for compliance with
any new requirements in the future.

The Company’s performance will be highly dependent on the future regulatory environment in the United States
and elsewhere, which is challenging and unpredictable.
The Company is headquartered in the United States and currently accepts only U.S. customers on the Platform.
Therefore, although the Company intends to extend its operations and customer bases to other countries, it is likely
that the ability to conduct business in the United States and with U.S. customers will remain critical to the Company’s
results and prospects.
For businesses that involve cryptocurrencies or other crypto assets, the regulatory environment in the United States
has been mixed. Notwithstanding that U.S. legislators and regulators generally express support for innovation in
financial markets and products, they have arguably not moved quickly to clarify the status of cryptocurrencies and
other crypto assets (and associated financial services) under U.S. laws, especially securities, commodities, banking
and money-transmitter laws, or to accommodate proposals for new businesses or offerings. In recent years, the SEC
has taken noteworthy actions to, among other things, sanction many issuers of digital tokens, reject applications for
crypto-related exchange-traded funds and suggest that bitcoin and other crypto assets are not suitable holdings for
traditional investment funds. It is impossible to predict what directions U.S. regulation might take in the future, which
depend among other things on agency priorities and budgets, agency personnel turnover and appointments following
presidential elections, legislation, judicial decisions, public perception, and economic conditions. There can be no
assurance that U.S. regulation will advance in a way that is favorable for the Company.
Furthermore, in comparison to traditional securities or commodities markets, U.S. law and regulation remains thinly
developed with respect to financial services provided to the cryptocurrency and crypto asset markets. Although recent
years have seen some guidance emerge with respect to the question of whether a crypto asset constitutes a security for
certain purposes under U.S. law, there remains little or no clear legal authority or established practice with respect to
the application to crypto assets of concepts like fungibility, settlement, trade execution and reporting, collateralization,
rehypothecation, custody, repo, margin, restricted securities, short sales, bankruptcy and insolvency and many others.
Some or all of these concepts may be needed for crypto-related marketplaces to continue to grow, mature and attract
institutional participants; there can be no assurances that rules and practices for such concepts will develop in the
United States in a manner that is timely, clear, favorable to the Company or compatible with other jurisdictions’
regimes. Furthermore, to the extent the Company offers any of these financial services, emerging regulation or
enforcement activity may have a material impact on the Company’s ability to continue providing such service thereby
affecting the Company’s revenues and profitability as well as its reputation and resources.
More recently, the SEC and state securities regulators have expressed their position that certain lines of cryptocurrency
businesses, including “interest programs” and “staking” may involve the offering and sale of securities. While no new
legislation has been passed or regulatory guidance published, regulators have expressed their position by issuing
subpoenas and “Wells Notices” indicating an intention to commence regulatory enforcement proceedings. There is a
risk that the SEC or state securities regulators could challenge the Rewards Program through such actions, which could
be determined regardless of whether the regulators’ positions have been established as correct in law. If litigation was
threatened by a securities regulator or the Company were otherwise required to terminate its Rewards Program, it
could have a materially negative affect on the Company’s ability to attract customers and successfully operate its
business.
In the event that the Company accepts customers from jurisdictions other than the U.S., it will be required to comply
with applicable regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions which could be as onerous or more onerous than those
of the U.S.
A particular crypto asset’s status as a “security” in any relevant jurisdiction is subject to a high degree of
uncertainty and if the Company is unable to properly characterize a crypto asset, the Company may be subject to
regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may adversely affect the Company’s business,
operating results, and financial condition.
The SEC and its staff have taken the position that certain crypto assets fall within the definition of a “security” under
the U.S. federal securities laws. The legal test for determining whether any given crypto asset is a security is a highly
complex, fact-driven analysis that evolves over time, and the outcome is difficult to predict. The SEC generally does
not provide advance guidance or confirmation on the status of any particular crypto asset as a security. Furthermore,
the SEC’s views in this area have evolved over time and it is difficult to predict the direction or timing of any

continuing evolution. It is also possible that a change in the governing administration or the appointment of new SEC
commissioners could substantially impact the views of the SEC and its staff. Public statements by senior officials at
the SEC indicate that the SEC does not intend to take the position that Bitcoin or Ethereum are securities (in their
current form). Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only crypto assets as to which senior officials at the SEC have publicly
expressed such a view. Moreover, such statements are not official policy statements by the SEC and reflect only the
speakers’ views, which are not binding on the SEC or any other agency or court and cannot be generalized to any
other crypto asset. With respect to all other crypto assets, there is currently no certainty under the applicable legal test
that such assets are not securities, notwithstanding the conclusions the Company may draw based on its risk-based
assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular crypto asset could be deemed a “security” under applicable laws.
Similarly, though the SEC’s Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology published a framework for
analyzing whether any given crypto asset is a security in April 2019, this framework is also not a rule, regulation or
statement of the SEC and is not binding on the SEC.
Several foreign jurisdictions have taken a broad-based approach to classifying crypto assets as “securities,” while
other foreign jurisdictions, such as Switzerland, Malta, and Singapore, have adopted a narrower approach. As a result,
certain crypto assets may be deemed to be a “security” under the laws of some jurisdictions but not others. Various
foreign jurisdictions may, in the future, adopt additional laws, regulations, or directives that affect the characterization
of crypto assets as “securities.”
The classification of a crypto asset as a security under applicable law has wide-ranging implications for the regulatory
obligations that flow from the offer, sale, trading, and settlement of such crypto assets. For example, a crypto asset
that is a security in the United States may generally only be offered or sold in the United States pursuant to a
registration statement filed with the SEC or in an offering that qualifies for an exemption from registration. Persons
that effect transactions in crypto assets that are securities in the United States may be subject to registration with the
SEC as a “broker” or “dealer.” Platforms that bring together purchasers and sellers to trade crypto assets that are
securities in the United States are generally subject to registration as national securities exchanges, or must qualify for
an exemption, such as by being operated by a registered broker-dealer as an alternative trading system, in compliance
with rules for alternative trading systems. Persons facilitating clearing and settlement of securities may be subject to
registration with the SEC as a clearing agency. Foreign jurisdictions may have similar licensing, registration, and
qualification requirements.
A determination by the SEC, a foreign regulatory authority, or a court that an asset that the Company currently supports
for trading on the Platform constitutes a security may also result in the Company determining that it is advisable to
remove assets from the Platform that have similar characteristics to the asset that was determined to be a security. In
addition, the Company could be subject to judicial or administrative sanctions for failing to offer or sell the crypto
asset in compliance with the registration requirements, or for acting as a broker, dealer, or national securities exchange
without appropriate registration. Such an action could result in injunctions, cease and desist orders, as well as civil
monetary penalties, fines, and disgorgement, criminal liability, and reputational harm. Customers that traded such
supported crypto asset on the Company’s platform and suffered trading losses could also seek to rescind a transaction
that the Company facilitated as the basis that it was conducted in violation of applicable law, which could subject the
Company to significant liability. The Company may also be required to cease facilitating transactions in the supported
crypto asset other than via any licensed subsidiaries, which could negatively impact the business, operating results,
and financial condition. Furthermore, if the Company removes any asset from trading on Platform, such decision may
be unpopular with customers and may reduce the Company’s ability to attract and retain customers, especially if such
assets remain traded on unregulated Crypto Trading Platforms, which includes many of the Company’s competitors.
Further, if Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other supported crypto asset is deemed to be a security under any U.S. federal,
state, or foreign jurisdiction, or in a proceeding in a court of law or otherwise, it may have adverse consequences for
such supported crypto asset and would have a material and adverse effect on the Company and its business and
prospectus. For instance, all offerings in such supported crypto asset would have to be registered with the SEC or
other foreign authority, or conducted in accordance with an exemption from registration, which could severely limit
its liquidity, usability and transactability. Moreover, the networks and platforms such as the Company’s on which such
supported crypto assets are utilized may be required to be regulated as securities intermediaries, and subject to
applicable rules, which could effectively render the network impracticable for its existing purposes. Further, it could
draw negative publicity and a decline in the general acceptance of the crypto asset. Also, it may make it difficult for
such supported crypto asset to be traded, cleared, and custodied as compared to other crypto asset that are not
considered to be securities.

The Company will be required to avoid “investment company” status under U.S. law or comparable laws in other
jurisdictions.
In general, under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, a company that has many U.S. securityholders and
conducts businesses relating to securities could, depending on complex factors relating to its activities and holdings
of investment securities, be deemed to be an “investment company.” Investment company status is broadly
incompatible with the Company’s business plans (and with its status as a non-U.S. issuer). If the Company were
determined to be deemed to be an investment company, the Company might be required to significantly restructure
its businesses or cease operations altogether.
The Company intends that its current and future activities not cause the Company to be deemed to be an investment
company. To the extent that the Company and its subsidiaries hold and transact in cryptocurrencies that do not
constitute securities, the Company believes that such holdings and transactions will not cause the Company to be
deemed to be an investment company. Furthermore, to the extent that holding and transacting security tokens or
security derivatives takes place in broker-dealer subsidiaries of the Company, the Company believes that such holdings
and transactions could qualify for an Investment Company Act exception and therefore likewise not cause the Company
to be deemed to be an investment company. There is currently little or no guidance or legal authority, however, with
respect to the application of Investment Company Act principles and tests to crypto-related businesses, and there can
be no assurance that such guidance or authority, if forthcoming, would be favorable to the Company. The Company
could face a similar situation in other, non-U.S. jurisdictions.
In the United States and in other jurisdictions, the Company may be required to, or may choose to, conduct certain
activities through regulated subsidiaries. This will increase the direct and indirect costs of the Company’s
compliance with law and regulation and is not guaranteed to be successful as a business matter.
Some of the Company’s current and planned activities, such as with respect to digital tokens that constitute securities
under U.S. law, may need to be conducted through an entity that holds certain regulatory registrations or qualifications
or meets other standards. As one prominent example, in the United States, a business of acting as a broker or dealer
in securities must generally be conducted by an entity that is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer and is a
member of FINRA. In addition, several U.S. states have adopted some level of licensing and regulation of cryptorelated businesses, including businesses that generally do not implicate the U.S. federal securities, commodities or
banking laws. For example, New York State’s primary financial regulator in 2015 promulgated a “BitLicense” regime
for so-called “virtual currency business activities,” which include a wide range of crypto-related activities, including
custody and dealing, if they involve New York State or a resident of New York State.
The Company’s philosophy has been to prepare for cryptocurrencies and crypto assets to exist within a progressively
more complex regulatory landscape. The Company currently has a subsidiary, VYGR Digital Securities, LLC, that is
a member of FINRA and of the U.S. National Futures Association and is authorized to conduct certain activities in
securities and commodities. The Company and its subsidiaries also hold money-transmitter or similar licenses in
almost all U.S. states. To the extent that the Company launches an asset-management business—and depending in
significant part on future legal interpretations and the development of the regulatory landscape in the United States
and elsewhere—the Company could, for example, be required to have a subsidiary that is registered as an investment
adviser with the SEC or one or more U.S. states, or as a commodity trading advisor or commodity pool operator with
the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
In general, holding regulatory registrations and qualifications may enable the Company to conduct lawfully certain
activities, particularly client- or customer-facing ones, in certain jurisdictions, such as the United States, that the
Company believes will be profitable or otherwise desirable in the context of the Company’s business plan. On the
other hand, regulated businesses typically have much higher costs of compliance, including recordkeeping, auditing
and training; must comply with customer protection rules and business practice codes that may be constraining, and
with valuation and accounting policies that may be difficult to adapt and apply to crypto assets; may be regularly
examined by organizations such as FINRA; and may have to meet regulatory capital or similar requirements beyond
what the Company would otherwise view as optimal. For example, broker-dealers are generally subject to regulatory
capital requirements promulgated by the applicable regulatory and exchange authorities in the United States or in other
jurisdictions where they operate, and the failure to maintain required regulatory capital may lead to suspension or
revocation of a broker-dealer registration and suspension or expulsion by a regulatory body.

At the same time, regulatory registrations and qualifications typically provide no assurance that the Company will
ultimately be permitted to conduct any particular business or activity; such permission typically remains subject to
broad regulatory discretion to approve, deny or condition based upon sometimes nebulous concepts of customer
protection or market integrity. This factor could be particularly problematic in the case of novel markets and products,
including not only existing cryptocurrencies and other crypto assets but also new and innovative assets or technologies
hoped to be developed in the future.
If, overall, the various direct and indirect legal and compliance costs referred to in the foregoing are greater than the
net business or product access provided by qualification under applicable regulatory regimes, it is likely to, among
other things, materially and adversely affect the Company’s reputation, financial condition, trading execution and
asset value and the value of any investment in the Company.
Risks Related to the Company’s Business
Permits and licenses.
Certain operations of VDH require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities in the United States
and elsewhere. Presently, to operate as a crypto broker supporting a Crypto Trading Platform in each state of the
United States, VDH requires individual state approval to transmit money (fiat and digital). State applications may
require significant surety bonds be posted, which may require additional funds be raised by the Company. Should
VDH seek to expand its business model to include additional regulated products or services, there will be significant
federal and state regulations to be complied with. There can be no assurance that VDH will be able to obtain all
necessary licenses and permits that may be required, including money transmitter licenses in the United States.
Furthermore, failure or delays in obtaining necessary approvals for licenses and permits could have a materially
adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As VDH seeks to expand its business
outside of the United States, it will need to comply with the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction in which it carries
on such business. There is no assurance that VDH will be able to comply with the laws and regulations of each
jurisdiction in which it seeks to expand.
Financial services businesses, including the Company’s, are heavily regulated, which imposes costs on the
Company in many ways.
Financial services businesses, including businesses that invest or trade in financial assets (or enable others to do so),
are heavily regulated in virtually every developed jurisdiction in the world. This regulation is often costly to comply
with for a number of reasons, from costs of a compliance infrastructure to explicit margin or regulatory capital charges;
extraordinarily technical, subject to interpretive uncertainty or both; and subject to unpredictable, potentially material
change upon the exercise of discretion by a range of legislative, executive, judicial, multinational, self-regulatory and
other bodies. As only a few examples, holding or transmitting funds, and trading, brokering or operating certain trading
platforms with respect to transactions in securities and commodity interests, are activities that are generally subject to
extensive and complex regulation. Alternatively, exemptions from such regulation, when they are available, are often
themselves complex and technical and may cause a company to avoid otherwise desirable and profitable business
activities as well as to bear increased compliance costs.
All of the foregoing is true for businesses that transact only in traditional, well understood instruments such as fiat
currencies and listed equity securities. In other words, operating a financial services or financial technology business
typically involves a significant amount of regulatory costs, risks and uncertainty even before introducing the additional
complications of cryptocurrencies and other crypto assets. These factors, individually and together, may, among other
things, materially and adversely affect the Company’s reputation, financial condition, trading execution and asset
value and the value of any investment in the Company.
The Company’s compliance and risk management programs may not be effective and may result in outcomes that
could materially and adversely affect the Company’s reputation, financial condition and operating results, among
other things.
The Company’s ability to comply with applicable laws and rules is largely dependent on the establishment and
maintenance of compliance, review and reporting systems, as well as the ability to attract and retain qualified
compliance and other risk management personnel. The Company cannot provide any assurance that its compliance

policies and procedures will always be effective or that the Company will always be successful in monitoring or
evaluating its risks. In the case of alleged non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations, the Company could be
subject to investigations and judicial or administrative proceedings that may result in substantial penalties or civil
lawsuits, including by customers, for damages, restitution or other remedies, which could be significant. Any of these
outcomes, individually or together, may among other things, materially and adversely affect the Company’s
reputation, financial condition, trading execution, and asset value and the value of any investment in the Company.
Operational risks, such as misconduct and errors of employees or entities with which the Company does business,
are difficult to detect and deter and could cause material reputational and financial harm to the Company.
The Company’s employees and agents could engage in misconduct, which may include conducting and concealing
unauthorized activities or improper use or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. It is not always possible
to deter misconduct by employees or others, and the precautions that the Company takes to prevent and detect this
activity may not be effective in all cases. The Company could be at risk, for example, that its employees could engage
in prohibited personal trading of a cryptocurrency or crypto asset supported by one of the Company’s platforms, which
could lead to actions such as trading suspensions, fines and costs or other regulatory actions, which, in each case,
could have a material and adverse effect on the Company.
Furthermore, the Company’s employees could make errors in recording or executing transactions for clients,
customers or counterparties, which would likely result in additional and potentially material costs to the Company.
The Company may fail to anticipate or adapt to technology innovations in a timely manner, or at all.
The blockchain and telecommunications markets are experiencing rapid technological changes. Failure to anticipate
technological innovations or adapt to such innovations in a timely manner, or at all, may result in the Company’s
products becoming obsolete at sudden and unpredictable intervals. To maintain the relevancy of the Company’s
products, the Company has actively invested in product planning and research and development. The process of
developing and marketing new products is inherently complex and involves significant uncertainties. There are a
number of risks, including the following:
a.
the Company’s product planning efforts may fail in resulting in the development or
commercialization of new technologies or ideas;
b.
the Company’s research and development efforts may fail to translate new product plans into
commercially feasible products;
c.
the Company’s new technologies or new products may not be well received by consumers;
d.
the Company may not have adequate funding and resources necessary for continual investments in
product planning and research and development;
e.
the Company’s products may become obsolete due to rapid advancements in technology and changes
in consumer preferences; and
f.
the Company’s newly developed technologies may not be protected as proprietary intellectual
property rights.
Any failure to anticipate the next-generation technology roadmap or changes in customer preferences or to timely
develop new or enhanced products in response could result in decreased revenue and market share. In particular, the
Company may experience difficulties with product design, product development, marketing or certification, which
could result in excessive research and development expenses and capital expenditure, delays or prevent the Company’s
introduction of new or enhanced products. Furthermore, the Company’s research and development efforts may not
yield the expected results, or may prove to be futile due to the lack of market demand.
An active and liquid trading market in the Common Shares may fail to develop.
There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market in the Common Shares will develop or, if such a

market develops, whether it will be maintained. Furthermore, market-makers in the Common Shares, if any, will be
under no obligation to make a market for the Common Shares and will have the ability to discontinue any marketmaking activities undertaken by them at any time. The Company cannot predict the effect on the market price of the
Common Shares if a liquid and active trading market fails to develop or to be maintained. In the absence of an active
trading market, relatively small sales may result in a significant negative effect on the price of the Common Shares,
increasing volatility.
There are material risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s anti-money-laundering (“AML”), “know
your customer” (“KYC”) and other protocols to detect and deter illegal activity on the Company’s platforms.
The Company seeks to implement and maintain anti-money-laundering, “know your customer” and other policies and
procedures that are consistent with applicable U.S. and non-U.S. law and regulation and with financial services
industry best practices. Nonetheless, the Company may not be able to prevent illegal activity from occurring on or
through its platforms, including the unauthorized use of a validly opened account.
The use of cryptocurrencies or other crypto assets for illegal purposes on or through the Company’s platforms, or
allegations or investigations with respect to potential such use, could result in significant legal and financial exposure
to the Company and damage to the Company’s reputation. Similarly, failure to meet applicable AML/KYC legal and
regulatory requirements could result in regulatory fines, sanctions or restrictions, which in each case could materially
and adversely affect the Company’s reputation, financial condition, trading execution, and asset value and the value
of any investment in the Company.
Furthermore, the Company will use and rely on third-party service providers to complete key aspects of AML/KYC
screenings. Although the Company will perform due diligence on such providers, there can be no assurance that in all
events such providers will detect all potential illegal activity or comply with all aspects of applicable law and
regulation. If such a provider were to fail to perform to agreed standards or maintain full compliance, it could have a
material and adverse effect on the Company’s business and operations.
Financial services companies face substantial litigation and investigation risks.
As an enterprise whose material planned business lines include financial services, the Company will depend to a
significant extent on its relationships with its clients and its reputation for integrity and high caliber professional
services. As a result, if a client is not satisfied with the Company’s services or if there are allegations of improper
conduct by private litigants or regulators, whether the ultimate outcome is favorable or unfavorable to the Company,
or if there is negative publicity and press speculation about the Company, whether or not valid, that may harm the
Company’s reputation and may be more damaging to the Company’s businesses than to businesses in other nonfinancial industries.
Furthermore, any regulatory investigation or examination to which the Company becomes subject could result in
significant fines or penalties and could result in consent decrees or other regulatory directives that limit the way the
Company conducts its business or that require a third-party monitor to assist in overseeing compliance. Any litigation
to which the Company becomes party may result in onerous or unfavorable judgments that may not be reversed upon
appeal or in payments of substantial monetary damages or fines, or the Company may decide to settle lawsuits on
similarly unfavorable terms. Responding to regulatory investigations and lawsuits of the nature described above is
costly and time-consuming to management, can generate negative publicity and could materially and adversely affect
the Company.
Competition from other cryptocurrency companies.
The Company competes with other cryptocurrency and distributed ledger technology businesses and other potential
financial vehicles. Market and financial conditions, and other conditions beyond the Company’s control, may make
it more attractive for customers to invest in other financial vehicles, or to invest in cryptocurrencies directly which
could adversely impact the Company’s business.
Changes in the value of cryptocurrencies may affect trading.
The markets for cryptocurrencies have experienced much larger fluctuations than other markets, and there can be no

assurances that volatile swings in price will slow in the future. In the event that the price of cryptocurrency declines,
the value of an investment in the Company will likely decline. Several factors may affect the price and volatility of
cryptocurrency, which include, but are not limited to: (i) global cryptocurrency demand, depending on the acceptance
of cryptocurrency by retail merchants and commercial businesses; (ii) the perception that the use and holding of
cryptocurrency is safe and secure, and the related lack of or inconsistency in regulatory restrictions, particularly across
various jurisdictions; (iii) conversely, heightened regulatory measures restricting the use of cryptocurrency as a form
of payment or the purchase of cryptocurrency; (iv) customers’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; (v)
interest rates; (vi) currency exchange rates, including exchange rates between cryptocurrency and fiat currency; (vii)
fiat currency withdrawal and deposit policies on Crypto Trading Platforms and liquidity on such Crypto Trading
Platforms; (viii) interruption of services or failures of major Crypto Trading Platforms; (ix) general governmental
monetary policies, including trade restrictions, currency revaluations; (x) global or regional political, economic or
financial events and situations, including increased threat or terrorist activities; and/or (xi) self-fulfilling expectations
of changes in the cryptocurrency market. As well, momentum pricing is typically associated with assets whose
valuation, as determined by the investing public, accounts for anticipated future appreciation in value. Momentum
pricing of cryptocurrency may result in speculation regarding future appreciation in the value of cryptocurrency. As a
result, changing customer confidence could adversely affect an investment in the Company.
Crypto Trading Platforms and other trading venues are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated and
may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure.
To the extent that Crypto Trading Platforms or other trading venues are involved in fraud or experience security
failures or other operational issues, this could result in a reduction in trading by the public.
Cryptocurrency market prices depend, directly or indirectly, on the prices set on Crypto Trading Platforms and other
trading venues, which are new and, in most cases, largely unregulated as compared to established, regulated exchanges
for securities, derivatives and other currencies. For example, during the past few years, a number of BTC Crypto
Trading Platforms have been closed due to fraud, business failure or security breaches. In many of these instances,
the customers of the closed BTC Crypto Trading Platforms were not compensated or made whole for the partial or
complete losses of their account balances in such BTC Crypto Trading Platforms. While smaller Crypto Trading
Platforms are less likely to have the infrastructure and capitalization that provide larger Crypto Trading Platforms with
additional stability, larger Crypto Trading Platforms may be more likely to be appealing targets for hackers and
“malware” (i.e., software used or programmed by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information
or gain access to private computer systems) and may be more likely to be targets of regulatory enforcement action.
Risks related to the crypto assets supported by the Company.
The Company’s operations and financial condition may also be impacted by the operations and financial condition of
the projects underlying the crypto assets supported for trading by the Company. Many such projects have limited
operating histories and may not be able to sustain their current trajectory, and many are led by key individuals whose
departure from the project could have a material adverse effect. In addition, many such projects utilize rapidly
developing technology that may be susceptible to security breaches or fraudulent activities. To the extent that any
such events occur, trading in such crypto assets, or crypto assets generally, on the Platform could be reduced, which
could have a negative impact on the financial condition of the Company and the value of its securities.
The Company’s use of proprietary and non-proprietary software, data and intellectual property may be subject to
substantial risk.
The Company’s investment strategy may rely heavily on the use of proprietary and non-proprietary software, data and
intellectual property of the Company and third parties in the crypto asset sector. The reliance on this technology and
data is subject to a number of important risks. First, the operation of any element of the cryptocurrencies or crypto
assets network or any other electronic platform may be severely and adversely affected by the malfunction of its
technology and the technology of third parties. For example, an unforeseen software or hardware malfunction could
occur as a result of a virus or other outside force, or as result of a design flaw in the design and operation of the
network or platform. Furthermore, if the Company’s software, hardware, data or other intellectual property is found
to infringe on the rights of any third party, the underlying value of the assets of the Company could be materially and
adversely affected. The Company also depends for effective distribution of its software products on “app store”
platforms, which, if they were disrupted or discontinued for any reason, or if their terms of use or other features were

developed in a manner adverse to the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Company.
Third parties may assert intellectual property claims relating to the holding and transfer of cryptocurrency and their
source code, or claims against any of VIP’s patents or intellectual property rights associated with the Platform.
Regardless of the merit of any intellectual property claim or other legal action, any threatened action that reduces
confidence in the cryptocurrency network’s long-term viability or the ability of end-users to hold and transfer
cryptocurrency may adversely affect an investment in the Company. As a result, an intellectual property claim could
adversely affect the business and affairs of the Company.
Cybersecurity breaches and other systems and technology problems may materially and adversely affect the
Company.
The information and technology systems used by the Company and other service providers may be vulnerable to
damage or interruption from, among other things: computer viruses; network failures; computer and
telecommunication failures; infiltration by unauthorized persons; security breaches; usage errors by their respective
professionals; power outages; terrorism; and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and
earthquakes. If these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function
properly, the Company or a service provider may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. The
failure of these systems or of disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause significant interruptions in operations
and result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal
information relating to customers (and the beneficial owners of customers). Such a failure could harm the Company’s
reputation, subject it to legal claims and otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company.
Crypto Trading Platforms and digital wallets may be hacked.
VDL’s Platform or digital wallets may be hacked. Access to VDL’s coins, maintained in a hosted online wallet, could
also be restricted by cybercrime (such as a denial of service attack). Any of these events may adversely affect the
operations of VDL and, consequently, its business and profitability.
The loss or destruction of a private key required to access certain cryptocurrencies or crypto assets may be
irreversible. The Company’s loss of access to its private keys or its experience of a data loss relating to its
cryptocurrency or crypto asset investments could adversely affect the Company.
Certain cryptocurrencies and crypto assets are controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and
private key relating to the local or online digital wallet in which that cryptocurrency or crypto asset is held. Private
keys typically must be safeguarded and kept private to prevent a third party from accessing the relevant
cryptocurrencies and crypto assets held in the wallet. If a private key is lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised and
no backup of the private key is accessible, the Company will be unable to access the cryptocurrencies and crypto
assets held in the wallet. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store the Company’s
cryptocurrencies and crypto assets could materially and adversely affect the Company’s trading execution.
Pandemics and COVID-19.
The Company cautions that current global uncertainty with respect to the spread of COVID-19 and its effect on the
broader global economy may have a significant negative effect on the Company. While the precise impact of the
COVID-19 virus on the Company remains unknown, rapid spread of COVID-19 may have a material adverse effect
on global economic activity, and can result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains, operations, mobility
of people and the financial markets, which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, inflation, business,
financial conditions, results of operations and other factors relevant to the Company.
The further development and acceptance of the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the issuance of
and transactions in cryptocurrencies is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate.
The use of cryptocurrencies to, among other things, buy and sell goods and services and complete other transactions,
is part of a new and rapidly evolving industry that employs crypto assets based upon a computer-generated
mathematical and/or cryptographic protocol. The growth of this industry in general, and the use of cryptocurrencies
in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and the slowing, or stopping of the development or acceptance

of developing protocols may adversely affect the Company’s operations. The factors affecting the further development
of the industry, include, but are not limited to:
•
Continued worldwide growth in the adoption and use of cryptocurrencies;
•
Governmental and quasi-governmental regulation of cryptocurrencies and their use, or restrictions on or
regulation of access to and operation of the network or similar cryptocurrency systems;
•
Changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;
•
The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the network;
•
The availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, including
new means of using fiat currencies;
•
General economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to crypto assets; and
•
Negative consumer sentiment and perception of cryptocurrencies generally.
Acceptance and/or widespread use of cryptocurrency is uncertain.
Currently, there is relatively small use of cryptocurrencies in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to
relatively large use by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that could adversely affect the Company’s
operations, investment strategies, and profitability.
As relatively new products and technologies, cryptocurrency has not been widely adopted as a means of payment for
goods and services by major retail and commercial outlets. Conversely, a significant portion of cryptocurrency
demand is generated by speculators and customers seeking to profit from the short-term or long-term holding of
cryptocurrencies.
The relative lack of acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the retail and commercial marketplace limits the ability of endusers to use them to pay for goods and services. A lack of expansion by cryptocurrencies into retail and commercial
markets, or a contraction of such use, may result in increased volatility or a reduction in their market prices, either of
which could adversely impact the Company’s business.
Misuse of cryptocurrencies and malicious actors.
Since the existence of cryptocurrencies, there have been attempts to use them for speculation or malicious purposes.
Although lawmakers increasingly regulate the use and applications of cryptocurrencies, and software is being
developed to curtail speculative and malicious activities, there can be no assurances that those measures will
sufficiently deter those and other illicit activities in the future. Advances in technology, such as quantum computing,
could lead to a malicious actor or botnet (a voluntary or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked
software coordinating the actions of the computers) being able to alter the blockchain on which cryptocurrency
transactions rely. In such circumstances, the malicious actor or botnet could control, exclude or modify the ordering
of transactions, or generate new cryptocurrency or transactions using such control. The malicious actor or botnet could
double spend its own cryptocurrency and prevent the confirmation of other customers’ transactions for so long as it
maintains control. Such changes could adversely affect an investment in the Company.
Cryptocurrency is not covered by deposit insurance.
Transactions using cryptocurrency are not covered by deposit insurance, unlike banks and credit unions that provide
guarantees or safeguards.
Management experience and dependence on key personnel, employees and third party providers.
The Company’s success is currently largely dependent on the performance of its directors and officers. The
management team has specialized expertise within the cryptocurrency industry. The experience of these individuals
is a factor which will contribute to the Company’s continued success and growth. The Company is currently relying
on its board members and executive officers, as well as independent consultants, for most aspects of the Company’s
business. The amount of time and expertise expended on the Company’s affairs by each of its management team and

the directors will vary according to the Company’s needs. The loss of any of these individuals could have a material
detrimental impact on the Company’s business. The Company does not intend to acquire any key man insurance
policies for any of its current executives, and therefore there is a risk that the death or departure of any key member
of management, a director, or employee or consultant could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future.
Investors who are not prepared to rely on the Company’s management team and Board should not invest in the
Company’s securities.
Arrangement with Metropolitan Commercial Bank.
The Company is dependent upon the MC Bank pursuant to the Account Services Agreement in order for VDL to carry
on its business in the majority of states in the United States. The MC Bank acts as agent for VDL and assumes the
money services obligations on behalf of VDL. However, should the Account Services Agreement be terminated for
any reason, VDL may be unable to carry on business in most states of the United States unless its current applications
were accepted or an alternative service arrangement could be arranged.
Uninsured or Uninsurable Risks.
The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with technology industry practice. However, given the
novelty of the business, such insurance may not be available, uneconomical for the Company, or the nature or level
may be insufficient to provide adequate insurance cover. The Company may become subject to liability for hazards
against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of high premium costs or for other
reasons. The payment of any such liabilities would reduce or eliminate the funds available for operations. Payments
of liabilities for which the Company does not carry insurance may have a material adverse effect on its financial
position.
Limited operating history.
VDH has a relatively limited history of operations in the cryptocurrency sector. VDH will be subject to many risks
common to start-up enterprises and its viability must be viewed against the background of the risks, expenses and
problems frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development in new and rapidly evolving
markets such as the cryptocurrency market. This includes, without limitation, under-capitalization, cash shortages,
limitations with respect to personnel, and lack of revenues and/or other resources (financial or otherwise). The
Company does not generate material revenue from operations, and there is no assurance that VDH will develop its
business profitably, and the likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of VDH’s early stage
of operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on Shareholders’
investment.
Investment Risk.
There is no assurance that any of the strategic investments made by the Company will generate positive returns, and
the Company may lose the entirety of such investments. The companies in which the Company invests are expected
to be at an early-stage of development and may not achieve their business objectives. Each of the companies in which
the Company invests will be subject to their own particular risks, as well as those risks applicable to companies
operating in the digital asset, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology sector. Certain of such industry risks are
described under the headings “Legal and Regulatory Risks of Businesses Based on Cryptocurrencies and Crypto
Assets” and “Investment, Operational and Other Risks of Holding and Otherwise Transacting in Cryptocurrencies and
Crypto assets” in this AIF. In addition, the directors and officers of the Company may be directors, officers, or
shareholders of one or more companies in which the Company may invest from time to time.
Dividend Risk.
The Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not anticipate paying dividends in the near future. The
Company expects to retain earnings to finance further growth and, where appropriate, retire debt.

The continuing development and acceptance of cryptocurrencies, crypto assets and distributed ledger technology
are subject to a variety of risks.
Cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, and the other types of crypto assets in which the Company will invest and trade
involve a new and rapidly evolving industry of which blockchain technology is a prominent, but not unique, part. The
growth of the cryptocurrency industry in general, and distributed ledger technology that supports such
cryptocurrencies in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development
of the cryptocurrency industry, as well as distributed ledger technology, include: continued worldwide growth in the
adoption and use of cryptocurrencies; government and quasi-government regulation of crypto assets and their use, or
restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of applicable distributed ledger technology or systems that
facilitate their issuance and secondary trading; the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol
of certain blockchain networks used to support cryptocurrencies; changes in consumer demographics and public tastes
and preferences; the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services,
including new means of using fiat currencies; and general economic conditions and the regulatory environment
relating to cryptocurrencies.
The Company’s planned business and operations includes the collection of fees from issuers of new cryptocurrencies
to offer the ability for the Company’s customers to interact (buy, sell, trade) with such new cryptocurrency on the
Company’s platform. The Company may be exposed to increased business and litigation risk as a result. For example,
the Company may be subject to claims from its customers who may have relied on the Company to conduct, or have
a process to conduct, due diligence on new cryptocurrencies listed on the Company’s platform. In addition, a reduction
in the adoption of cryptocurrency may result in the Company’s inability to generate revenue from the listing of new
cryptocurrencies.
A decline in the adoption and use of cryptocurrencies would materially and adversely affect the performance of the
Company.
Because cryptocurrency is a relatively new asset class and a technological innovation, it is subject to a high degree of
uncertainty. As a related but separate issue from that of the regulatory environment, the adoption, growth and longevity
of any cryptocurrency will require growth in its usage and in the blockchain for various applications. A lack of
expansion in use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies would adversely affect the financial performance
of the Company. In addition, there is no assurance that any cryptocurrency or cryptocurrencies generally will maintain
their value over the long term. The value of any cryptocurrency is subject to risks related to its use. Even if growth in
the use of any cryptocurrency or of cryptocurrencies generally occurs in the near or medium term, there is no assurance
that such use will continue to grow over the long term. A contraction in use of any cryptocurrency or cryptocurrencies
generally may result in increased volatility or a reduction in prices, which would materially and adversely affect the
Company’s trading execution, the value of its assets and the value of any investment in the Company.
Banks may decline to provide banking services, or may cut off banking services, to companies engaged in
cryptocurrency or crypto asset-related businesses, including the Company.
A number of companies that provide cryptocurrency or crypto asset-related services have been unable to find banks
that are willing to provide them with bank accounts and banking services. Similarly, a number of such companies
have had their existing bank accounts closed by their banks. Banks may refuse to provide bank accounts and other
banking services to cryptocurrency or crypto asset-related companies, including the Company, for a number of
reasons, such as perceived compliance risks or costs. The Company’s inability to procure or keep banking services
would have a material and adverse effect on the Company. Similarly, continued general banking difficulties may
decrease the utility or value of cryptocurrencies and crypto assets or harm public perception of those assets. Any of
these occurrences could materially and adversely affect the Company’s trading execution, the value of its assets and
the value of any investment in the Company. While VDH has established an omnibus account with a third party,
federally regulated bank in the United States, there is no assurance that it will be able to maintain such account, and
its inability to do so could have a negative impact on its business.
The prices of cryptocurrencies and crypto assets are extraordinarily and unprecedentedly volatile.
A significant portion of demand for cryptocurrencies and other crypto assets is generated by speculators and customers
seeking to profit from the short-term or long-term holding of these cryptocurrencies or crypto assets. Speculation
regarding future appreciation in the value of a cryptocurrency or crypto asset may inflate and make more volatile the

price of that cryptocurrency or crypto asset. Conversely, only a limited number of cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin,
have recently become sometimes accepted as a means of payment for some goods and services, and use of
cryptocurrencies by consumers to pay at retail and commercial outlets remains very limited. A lack of expansion by
cryptocurrencies into retail and commercial markets, or a contraction of such limited use as has developed to date,
may result in increased volatility or a reduction in the value of that cryptocurrency or cryptocurrencies generally,
either of which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s trading execution, the value of its assets and the
value of any investment in the Company.
Several factors affect the price and the volatility of cryptocurrencies, including global cryptocurrency demand
depending on the acceptance of cryptocurrency by retail merchants and commercial businesses; customers’
expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; interest rates; currency exchange rates, including exchange rates
between cryptocurrency and fiat currency; fiat currency withdrawal and deposit policies on Crypto Trading Platforms
and liquidity on such Crypto Trading Platforms; interruption of services or failures of major Crypto Trading Platforms;
large investment and trading activities in cryptocurrency; monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions and
currency de- and revaluations; regulatory measures restricting the use of cryptocurrency as a form of payment or the
purchase of cryptocurrency; global and regional political, economic and financial events and situations, including
increased threat of terrorist activities; and hacking of Crypto Trading Platforms or custodians.
Fluctuation in the prices of cryptocurrencies may significantly affect the Company’s results of operations and financial
condition; in particular, a significant drop in bitcoin price may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results
of operations. The recent market uncertainty over the global outbreak of COVID-19 caused a drastic drop in the price
of bitcoin in March 2020. The Company’s business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected
by the global market uncertainties in the near term. More broadly, cryptocurrencies are subject to supply and demand
forces based upon, among other things, the desirability of alternative, decentralized means of buying and selling goods
and services. It is unclear how such supply and demand will be affected by geopolitical events; political or economic
crises could motivate large-scale sales or purchases of cryptocurrencies and crypto assets either globally or in
particular markets.
The prices of cryptocurrencies have fluctuated significantly in the past few years, which resulted in a corresponding
fluctuation in the Company’s results of operations. The Company expects that the prices of cryptocurrencies may
continue to fluctuate in the future, and as such, the Company would expect to continue to experience a significant
corresponding fluctuation in the Company’s results of operations.
There are material risks and uncertainties associated with custodians of crypto assets.
The Company may use one or more custodians (or third-party “wallet providers”) to hold crypto assets that it holds
on behalf of itself or of clients, customers and counterparties. Such custodians may or may not be subject to regulation
by U.S. state or federal or non-U.S. governmental agencies or other regulatory or self-regulatory organizations. The
Company could have a high concentration of its crypto assets in one location or with one custodian, which may be
prone to losses arising out of hacking, loss of passwords, compromised access credentials, malware or cyberattacks.
Custodians may not indemnify the Company against any losses of crypto assets. Crypto assets held by certain
custodians may be transferred into “cold storage” or “deep storage,” in which case there could be a delay in retrieving
such crypto assets. The Company may also incur costs related to the third-party custody and storage of its crypto
assets. Any security breach, incurred cost or loss of crypto assets associated with the use of a custodian could
materially and adversely affect the Company’s trading execution, the value of its assets and the value of any investment
in the Company.
Furthermore, there is, and is likely to continue to be, uncertainty as to how U.S. and non-U.S. laws will be applied
with respect to custody of cryptocurrencies and other crypto assets held on behalf of clients. For example, U.S.regulated investment advisers may be required to keep client “funds and securities” with a “qualified custodian”; there
remain numerous questions about how to interpret and apply this rule, and how to identify a “qualified custodian” of,
crypto assets, which are obviously kept in a different way from the traditional securities with respect to which such
rules were written. The uncertainty and potential difficulties associated with this question and related questions could
materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to develop and launch an asset management business.
The Company from time to time, may include a small amount of its own assets with the segregated assets of clients
to facilitate efficient trading. In so doing, the Company is exposed to trade, settlement, market and counterparty risk,

which may expose the Company to financial loss.
The Company’s assets deposited with third party custodians and Crypto Trading Platforms are generally held in one
account for each type of digital currency for each custodian/Crypto Trading Platform. The assets are segregated from
those of other customers of those custodians and Crypto Trading Platforms but are not then further segregated on a
Company client level. Accordingly, any losses of the type described herein could affect customers on a pro rata basis.
The Company may also incur costs related to the third-party custody and storage of its crypto assets. Any security
breach, incurred cost or loss of crypto assets associated with the use of a custodian could materially and adversely
affect the Company’s trading execution, the value of its assets and the value of any investment in the Company.
The unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of Crypto Trading Platforms may
cause the marketplace to lose confidence in such Crypto Trading Platforms.
Crypto Trading Platforms on which cryptocurrencies and other crypto assets trade are relatively new and, in some
cases, unregulated. Furthermore, while some Crypto Trading Platforms provide information regarding their ownership
structure, management teams, corporate practices and regulatory compliance, many other Crypto Trading Platforms
do not. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in these Crypto Trading Platforms, including prominent
Crypto Trading Platforms that handle a significant volume of trading in these assets. In recent years, there have been
a number of Crypto Trading Platforms that have closed because of fraud, business failure or security breaches.
Additionally, larger cryptocurrency and crypto asset Crypto Trading Platforms have been targets for hackers and
malware and may be targets of regulatory enforcement actions. A lack of stability in these Crypto Trading Platforms
and the temporary or permanent closure of such Crypto Trading Platforms may reduce confidence in the crypto asset
marketplace in general and result in greater volatility in the price of crypto assets. These potential consequences could
materially and adversely affect the Company’s trading execution, the value of its assets and the value of any investment
in the Company.
The Company relies on partnerships with third party Crypto Trading Platforms to fill customers’ trade orders. The
dependence of the Company on third party Crypto Trading Platforms to fulfill such orders may present material risks.
For example, a third party Crypto Trading Platform may not return cryptocurrency deposited by the Company to
execute a specific order, or such Crypto Trading Platforms may become insolvent prior to processing the Company’s
applicable withdrawal. The Company is also exposed to the inherent risks faced by such third party Crypto Trading
Platforms for fraudulent activity, liquidity, regulatory and other operational and business risks.
It is possible that actors could manipulate the blockchain networks and smart contract technology upon which
cryptocurrencies and crypto assets rely.
If a malicious actor is able to hack or otherwise exert unilateral control over a particular blockchain network, or the
cryptocurrencies or crypto assets on such a network, that actor could attempt to divert assets from that blockchain or
otherwise prevent the confirmation of transactions recorded in that cryptocurrency or crypto asset on that blockchain.
Such an event could materially and adversely affect the Company’s trading execution, the value of its assets and the
value of any investment in the Company.
The Company may not have adequate sources of recovery if its bitcoins are lost, stolen or destroyed.
If the Company’s bitcoins or other cryptocurrency or other crypto assets are lost, stolen or destroyed under
circumstances rendering a party liable to the Company, the responsible party may not have the financial resources
sufficient to satisfy the Company’s claims, which could lead to a material and adverse effect on the Company.
Lending of cryptocurrencies or other crypto assets may be especially risky.
The Company may lend crypto assets to third parties, including affiliates. On termination of the loan, the borrower is
required to return the crypto assets to the Company; any gains or loss in the market price during the loan would inure
to the Company. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Company could experience delays in recovering
its crypto assets. In addition, to the extent that the value of the crypto assets increases during the term of the loan, the
value of the crypto assets may exceed the value of collateral provided to the Company, exposing the Company to
credit risks with respect to the borrower and potentially exposing the Company to a loss of the difference between the
value of the crypto assets and the value of the collateral. If a borrower defaults under its obligations with respect to a
loan of crypto assets, including by failing to deliver additional collateral when required or by failing to return the

The crypto assets that are loaned to third parties by the Company include crypto assets deposited by customers of the
Platform, which may be withdrawn by a customer at any time. The Company is exposed to a potentially significant
liquidity risk if, for example, the aggregate withdrawals by customers exceed the quantum of uncommitted
cryptocurrency available to the Company to satisfy such withdrawal requests. A similar risk applies with respect to
individual reserves of each type of cryptocurrency should the withdrawals of such type of cryptocurrency exceed the
Company’s available reserves.
The Company’s trading orders may not be timely executed.
The Company’s trading execution depends on the ability to establish and maintain an overall market position in a
combination of financial instruments. The Company’s trading orders may not be executed in a timely and efficient
manner because of various circumstances, including, for example, trading volume surges or systems failures
attributable to the Company or its counterparties, brokers, dealers, agents or other service providers. In such an event,
the Company might only be able to acquire or dispose of some, but not all, of the components of its positions, or if
the overall positions were to need adjustments, the Company might not be able to make such adjustments. As a result,
the Company would not be able to achieve its desired market position, which may result in a loss. In addition, the
Company can be expected to rely heavily on electronic execution systems (and may rely on new systems and
technology in the future), which may be subject to certain systemic limitations or mistakes, causing the interruption
of trading orders made by the Company.
Unexpected market disruptions may cause major losses for the Company.
The Company may incur major losses in the event of disrupted markets and other extraordinary events in which market
behavior diverges significantly from historically recognized patterns. The risk of loss in such events may be
compounded by the fact that in disrupted markets, many positions become illiquid, making it difficult or impossible
to close out positions against which markets are moving. Market disruptions caused by unexpected political, military
and terrorist events may from time to time cause dramatic losses for the Company. Any such disruptions and events
may have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s trading execution and on any investment in the Company.
The Company may make, or otherwise be subject to, trade errors.
Errors may occur with respect to trades executed on behalf of the Company. Trade errors can result from a variety of
situations, including, for example, when the wrong investment is purchased or sold or when the wrong quantity is
purchased or sold. Trade errors frequently result in losses, which could be material. To the extent that an error is
caused by a third party, the Company may seek to recover any losses associated with the error, although there may be
contractual limitations on any third party’s liability with respect to such error.

VOYAGER DIGITAL LTD.
(the “Company”)
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is a committee of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company. The
role of the Committee is to provide oversight of the Company's financial management and of the design and
implementation of an effective system of internal financial controls as well as to review and report to the Board on
the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and associated companies. This includes
helping directors meet their responsibilities, facilitating better communication between directors and the external
auditor, enhancing the independence of the external auditor, increasing the credibility and objectivity of financial
reports and strengthening the role of the directors by facilitating in-depth discussions among directors, management
and the external auditor.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining those controls, procedures and processes and the
Committee is appointed by the Board to review and monitor them. The Company's external auditor is ultimately
accountable to the Board and the Committee as representatives of the Company's shareholders.
Duties and Responsibilities
External Auditor
(a)
To recommend to the Board, for shareholder approval, an external auditor to examine the Company's
accounts, controls and financial statements on the basis that the external auditor is accountable to the Board
and the Committee as representatives of the shareholders of the Company.
(b)
To oversee the work of the external auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an auditor's report
or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company, including the resolution of
disagreements between management and the external auditor regarding financial reporting.
(c)
To evaluate the audit services provided by the external auditor, pre-approve all audit fees and recommend to
the Board, if necessary, the replacement of the external auditor.
(d)
To pre-approve any non-audit services to be provided to the Company by the external auditor and the fees
for those services.
(e)
To obtain and review, at least annually, a written report by the external auditor setting out the auditor's
internal quality-control procedures, any material issues raised by the auditor's internal quality-control reviews
and the steps taken to resolve those issues.
(f)
To review and approve the Company’s hiring policies regarding partners, employees and former partners and
employees of the present and former external auditor of the Company. The Committee has adopted the
following guidelines regarding the hiring of any partner, employee, reviewing tax professional or other
person providing audit assurance to the external auditor of the Company on any aspect of its certification of
the Company's financial statements:
(i)
no member of the audit team that is auditing a business of the Company can be hired into that
business or into a position to which that business reports for a period of three years after the audit;
(ii)
no former partner or employee of the external auditor may be made an officer of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries for three years following the end of the individual's association with the
external auditor;
(iii)
the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) must approve all office hires from the external auditor; and
(iv)
the CFO must report annually to the Committee on any hires within these guidelines during the
preceding year.

I.
BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE
1. My name is Richard A. Sanders. I am a Co-Founder and Lead Investigator of
CipherBlade, a blockchain forensics and cybercrime investigative firm which consults
on some of the most renowned blockchain projects, as well as numerous law
enforcement and regulatory investigations, and provides advisory services to
cryptocurrency exchanges and other organizations. Prior to co-founding CipherBlade,
I was in the United States Army, where I attained the rank of a Staff Sergeant and
spent 12 years as a forward observer and PSYOP specialist. A copy of my C.V. is
annexed as Exhibit A.
2. CipherBlade and the CipherBlade staff have experience in some of the most
well-known cryptocurrency investigations, including hacks of prominent individuals
and major cryptocurrency exchanges, and provide services which include blockchain
forensics, cryptocurrency AML, and cryptocurrency cybercrime investigation. As the
blockchain industry gradually matures, there has been a notable increase in our
preventative services (compared to reactionary scam/hack investigations) from, for
example, investors and firms desiring diligence on blockchain startups.
3. In addition to my duties with CipherBlade, I serve as a volunteer with Crypto
Defenders Alliance 1 (“CDA”) where I was selected as one of their four administrators
due to my demonstrated expertise as a blockchain forensics expert, cybercrime
investigation knowledge, and leadership. CDA is an organization with representatives
from nearly all major cryptocurrency exchanges and services, with the purpose of
combating laundering of illicitly obtained funds.
4. I have provided solvency, security and AML consulting for cryptocurrency exchanges.
My firm is one of the only firms that provides such services. Some of the top
exchanges in the industry, such as Coinbase, request my insight into highly complex
issues that require niche expertise and experience. Exchanges have relied and continue
to rely on CipherBlade’s and my expertise.2 In the course of my experience with
exchanges, I have become familiar with what industry norms are risk representations,
solvency, and transparency.
5. I also serve as a volunteer with the Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative 3
(ATII) where I provide critically needed blockchain analysis and other insight in some
of the most severe crime typologies.

6. I routinely consult with and am retained by government agencies for investigations
and insight on regulatory issues. I have provided security and compliance advice to
numerous companies in the space, and understand that I am seen as a top thought
leader in this field. I provide training to law enforcement on tactical site exploitation
cryptocurrency considerations, such as identifying what cryptocurrency-related
paraphernalia looks like and why it is important. I routinely provide insight to
organizations such as the SEC, CFTC, and FinCEN on issues related to digital assets.
My experience is digital and operational. This precise hybrid of experience is
extremely valuable for my niche. United States Attorneys have leaned on my support
for proffer sessions involving digital assets and described my work as essential. I have
served as an expert for both Plaintiffs and Defendants in both Civil and Criminal
courts and arbitrations.
7. As a result of my involvement in a significant quantity of investigations involving
individuals or companies suspected of providing misleading or incorrect information, I
have become known as a subject matter expert in strategies that potentially dishonest
parties may demonstrate. These often include downplay or nondisclosure of risk,
deliberately misleading phrasing, and non-transparency on issues that are readily made
transparent via the utilization of blockchain technology.
8. I have been asked to partake in a multitude of podcasts, other speaking engagements,
and press interviews from topics ranging from insolvent/AML-lacking exchanges to
cryptocurrency security/thefts, including the topic of aggressively-promoted platforms
that are not transparent regarding risk4 and how to prevent cryptocurrency losses5.
II. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBSTANTIATING RECORDS
9. I have been asked by The Moskowitz Law Firm, PLLC on behalf of Plaintiffs to
perform an analysis of Voyager, including but not limited to the following:
a. An analysis of Voyager trades, relative to other cryptocurrency exchanges, in
order to determine how trades executed on Voyager compare to trades executed
on other platforms.
b. A review of publicly available information regarding Voyager, such as content
from Voyager’s website and social media platforms.

c. Whether or not the activity (with an emphasis on use of customer deposits) or
risk represented by Voyager regarding same is proportionate to what would be
reasonably expected.
10. In order to execute this assignment, I reviewed relevant documentation, which
includes a Complaint and my Letter of Instruction6.
III. BACKGROUND ON CRYPTOCURRENCY AND FUNDAMENTAL TECHNICAL
INFORMATION
Cryptocurrency and Blockchains
11. Cryptocurrencies are digital representations of value that are secured through
cryptography – the encryption and decryption of messages in secret code or cipher.
Many of them rely on blockchain technology—a distributed ledger of all transactions
that is decentralized and unable to be changed under most circumstances. The most
well-known form of cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, but there are a number of
cryptocurrencies that have been introduced in the past several years, more than 2,000
by some counts. Cryptocurrency is sent and received from or to so-called “wallets,”
which are locations identified by a combination of letters and numbers called a “hash”
(e.g., 17XiVVooLcdCUCMf9s4t4jTExacxwFS5uh) that is unique to the holder of the
“key” for that wallet address. Wallets are roughly analogous to an email address or
bank account. They are a unique and secure identifier that allows for the transmission
of cryptocurrency from one user to another.
12. Bitcoins are completely fungible and are not serialized or labeled like, for example,
individual dollar bills. As a result, it is not possible to state that any particular Bitcoin
is the subject of any specific transaction at any specific time. Instead, a Bitcoin
transaction is best understood as a unit of value being transferred from one wallet to
another. The blockchain is the record of all such transactions over time. For that
reason, as explained more below, to “follow the money” one has to follow the value

Blockchain Analysis
13. With the rise in popularity of cryptocurrencies, there have inevitably been a number of
misuses of cryptocurrency, much of which is via fraud, misappropriation, or
laundering. Indeed, as noted above, I and my firm CipherBlade have been retained by
private parties and government authorities to assist and investigate in the aftermath of
many of these hacks and thefts.
14. Blockchain analysis is a subject which requires highly specialized expertise and tools
to perform accurately and effectively. While blockchain data itself is a public record
and that data (which is the basis for the blockchain analysis) can be verified by anyone
with free and available tools, performing an analysis of transactional flows and tracing
destinations of assets is a matter that requires sophisticated tools, and most
importantly, experience. In adherence with expert norms, this report identifies the
tools and data relevant for the foundation of my opinion, however, it is critical to note
that it would be impractical to write out every step of such an analysis, as this would
include thousands of potential transactions.
15. Blockchain analysis entails taking information from an immutable public ledger,
which, when reviewed by a qualified expert, enables that expert to provide what are in
essence fact-based findings which can then be used subsequently, for example in
litigation.
16. The process of analysis utilized in this report (especially the blockchain analysis) is
the same process utilized in similar investigations that I have conducted in partnership
with compliance teams, regulators, and others, spanning numerous jurisdictions. I
have been the sole expert responsible for reviewing the blockchain data (which is a
matter of public record and is the basis for my analysis) and the graphs in Chainalysis
Reactor. Nobody else can access this account, but it is possible to export this graph
much like it is possible to export, for example, a PowerPoint presentation. If another

expert wished to review my work, they could do so via utilizing the same blockchain
data made available to me to generate this graph, or if they have Chainalysis Reactor
access, they may contact me for a copy of the native file.
17. I have carried out a proportionate initial assessment of the relevant blockchain data.
The nature of blockchain analysis particularly in a case of this nature where the
objective is to obtain high-level overview of what happens to customer assets (as
opposed to, for example, sorting through thousands of transactions in order to trace
specific stolen assets) is relatively lower in time, and bearing in mind these are
early-stage findings, as well as that further records could be produced, further analysis
is possible and I reserve the right to update this report accordingly.
18. I set out below some remarks on the material that I have relied upon in forming my
analysis:
a. The nature of blockchain transactions means that all of this information is in
the public domain and can be accessed via free tools known as block explorers.
For example, to review a Bitcoin transaction, one only needs to visit a website
such as Blockchain.info and paste in the Bitcoin transaction.
b. The tool I utilize to perform blockchain analysis in this report (for the
supported blockchains) is Chainalysis Reactor. Chainalysis Reactor provides a
visualization of blockchains; put more plainly, this is providing visualizations
of the same data that would be viewable on a block explorer. The core
difference between Chainalysis Reactor and a block explorer, insofar as is
relevant for the purposes of this Report, is that Chainalysis Reactor has what is
known as attribution (labeling of wallet addresses), which will not exist for
most addresses in free block explorers.
19. Clustering is the means of grouping 2 or more individual Bitcoin addresses into a
group of addresses which are believed to be controlled by the same entity. There are
numerous heuristics for clustering, some examples of which would be co-spending
and change address analysis. As shown in the below figure, the two addresses on the

left can be presumed to be controlled by the same entity, as they both are inputs in the
transaction (rendering it extremely likely that one entity holds the private keys for, and
thus owns, both wallets.) There are two outputs, one of which is for 12 BTC -- an
amount a user is likely to send another user, where the other output is 2.9 BTC, a less
likely number to be purposefully selected7. Upon this simplified example, Addresses
A, B, and D would be clustered.
8
20. Chainalysis Reactor (as well as similar tools) will have a baseline amount of what is
known as attribution: the labeling of wallet addresses. Addresses will be
unknown/pseudonymous until Chainalysis updates/labels the addresses in their
system. A combination of automated analysis and manual investigation is utilized to
continually add attribution.
21. Attribution is the “oil” of the blockchain analysis world and constantly sought.
Consequently, attribution for well-known services tends to be quite exceptional in
Chainalysis Reactor.
22.
While it is true that no services (not even the most voluminous exchanges, such as
Coinbase or Binance) will ever have all addresses attributed, services that have a
Note most often when using this type of heuristic, the amount is likely to be an even less likely manually
selected number, such as 2.99757208 due to miner fees, rendering this heuristic quite reliable.

lower amount of addresses attributed oftentimes lack such attribution as a result of the
entity not utilizing a compliance tool such as Chainalysis KYT (the compliance
equivalent of Chainalysis Reactor), and/or not submitting address data to such
providers. Voyager currently has 1 Bitcoin addresses attributed in Chainalysis Reactor,
a figure far lower than I expected. Voyager competitor Celsius has 277,287 attributed
addresses for Bitcoin in Chainalysis Reactor; while also not high, I’d expect Voyager
(a service with more aggressive marketing) to have more address attribution. I came to
find out that Voyager’s lack of attribution may at least partially have to do with how
Voyager processes customer deposits and withdrawals, which is distinctly different
(perhaps deliberately) from their competitors and obfuscates potential attribution
efforts.
23. Further, attribution for Voyager wallet addresses for other blockchains was scarce and
in some cases non-existent. While attribution for some more less-utilized assets (say,
LTC or the ERC-20 tokens) may often have gaps, for attribution on widely-utilized
assets (such as Ethereum) to be lacking immediately stood out to me, and made
necessary my efforts to perform manual attribution for Voyager addresses.
24. Consequently, in order to determine what Voyager does with customer deposits, how
Voyager processes customer withdrawals, and to the extent possible9 potentially
identify what Voyager does with customer assets, I made numerous deposits and
withdrawals of varied cryptocurrencies with an account on Voyager . This enabled me
to obtain blockchain data to analyze for a better data set and more recent history.
25. In order to perform this analysis, I utilized Chainalysis Reactor. Available as
supporting records are full resolution graphs and native .grf files for any and all
blockchain analysis cited in this report, as well as Voyager account history evidencing
the transactions relied upon in order to supplement any pre-existing attribution in
Chainalysis Reactor.
Once cryptocurrency is traced to an exchange/service, analysis stops. This is because records from the service
would need to be produced in order to continue analysis. This is functionally equivalent to determining what
happened to a $100 bill once an individual brings it to the bank: you may see them bring it to the bank, but they
deposit it for an IOU and lose custody of it: you would need the individual’s bank records to determine what
happened with the value of that asset.

IV. SUMMARY OF OPINIONS
“We will lend, sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose
of funds and cryptocurrency assets to counterparties, and we will use our commercial best
efforts to prevent losses.”10
“In consideration for the interest earned on your account, you grant the right, subject to
applicable law, without further notice to you, to hold the cryptocurrency held in your account
in the firm name or in another name, and to pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate,
sell, lend, or otherwise transfer or use any amount of such cryptocurrency, separately or
together with other property, with all attendant rights of ownership, and for any period of
time and without retaining a like amount of cryptocurrency, and to use or invest such
cryptocurrency at its own risk.”
26. Voyager does not accurately convey the risk associated with the interest-bearing
offering (the “Voyager Interest Program”) of their service.
a. The general risk disclosures included in Voyager’s consumer-facing materials
is insufficient to allow consumers to make an informed decision that reflects
their risk appetite. There is an immense range of risk/reward (from relatively
low risk to extremely high-risk) that is possible depending upon what, exactly,
Voyager does with customer deposits.
b. Voyager publicly provides no meaningful specifics about how customer assets
are utilized. Voyager offers interest rates that exceed competitors such as
Celsius11 and BlockFi, companies that also suggest they earn interest in a
similar way.
c. Celsius has been audited12. Similar companies that were not audited are
undoubtedly immediately able to be considered high-risk for consumers. For
example, Cred, a company similar to Voyager and Celsius (which also lacked
transparency) elected to take high-risk investments that did not end happily13.
27. Voyager is not transparent.
https://rewards.investvoyager.com/interest/
While true Celsius and Voyager are partnered in some capacity, they are still competitors in other capacities;
namely, customers depositing assets.

a. As described in the preceding paragraph regarding the Voyager Interest
Program, it is impossible for consumers to make an informed decision
regarding whether to deposit funds to Voyager or not. Further, even if an
individual opts out of the Voyager Interest Program, nothing evidences
customer funds are not rehypothecated, rendering Voyager customers
susceptible to the risk of this rehypothecation whether or not they have the risk
appetite and/or desire to sign up for such activity.
b. Voyager’s responses to public inquiries are unresponsive. For example, I doubt
that what customers intended when asked “is Voyager regulated?”14 (if that
was, indeed, what was asked multiple times, and Voyager didn’t basket broader
questions into this FAQ) is whether or not Voyager is subject to FinCEN
regulation. Voyager is registered and operates within and solicits the business
of customers within the applicable jurisdiction. Said differently, Voyager being
regulated by FinCEN is no different from stating I breathe air. Notably absent
from Voyager’s FAQ (or anywhere else for that matter) is any information
evidencing Voyager’s efforts to be a compliant organization: as some
examples, Voyager is one of the very few companies of their scale not
represented in Crypto Defender’s Alliance, nor am I aware of any transaction
analysis tool Voyager is utilizing15.
c. Voyager has provided no verification they are solvent nor any substantive
information about how they utilize customer funds (which increases the risk of
insolvency immensely.) It is possible for Voyager to verify they are solvent16.
While Voyager might suggest that they do not want to reveal particulars about
what they do with customer funds as to protect trade secrets, at a minimum,
they could easily retain a reputable third party to perform an (ideally recurring)
audit.
28. Voyager engages in extremely aggressive promotional activities, often via influencers
that receive financial incentive, that target primarily new or less knowledgeable
cryptocurrency users. An additional risk Voyager and Voyager customers face, in light
https://support.investvoyager.com/support/solutions/articles/43000458812-is-voyager-regulatedTo be clear, it is distinctly possible, even probable, that Voyager has acquired a blockchain analysis tool -- I
just typically know which tools most companies use as I have interacted with their compliance/investigations
team in the course of my duties. Said differently, the fact I have not experienced this with Voyager is, from
experience, likely due to improper use of a blockchain analysis tool/inadequately trained staff.

of such activity, is regulatory scrutiny, whether for market manipulation or potentially
Securities Act 17(b) 17 violations depending upon particulars.
“Voyager works to obtain the best execution available in the marketplace for our clients.
There is no set price for a market order. Best execution is a concept combining the evaluation
of multiple factors, including opportunity to obtain a better price than what is currently
quoted, the speed of execution, size of trade, settlement period and the likelihood the trade
will be executed.”18
29. Voyager is deliberately misleading, and often refuses to substantiate information that
is essential for a consumer to make an informed decision. As one prominent example,
Voyager strongly advertises “Commission-free” trading on their landing page, but no
such fees are ever clearly outlined.
a. In the absence of any specificity regarding “the marketplace”, it is impossible
for a consumer -- or anyone for that matter -- to determine which

“marketplaces” (exchanges?) Voyager is determining to provide the “best
execution.”
b. There would, indeed, presumably be a set price for a market order, which
would be derived from an aggregate of the exchanges Voyager is sourcing
liquidity from. In the simplest terms possible, it is entirely a black box as to
what Voyager is doing with orders purportedly directed to their Smart Order
Router, where (which exchanges) the Voyager Pricing Engine “calculates the
fair market price” from, and how the Proprietary Fills Algorithm functions -and in the absence of such information, as well as demonstrable discrepancies
between what Voyager says should happen and what happens, these systems
are either improperly configured, or to varying degrees may not even exist or
exist as described by Voyager.
c. Phrasing such as “evaluation of multiple factors” is, per my experience
regarding all companies that were suspected of, and subsequently confirmed to
be, misleading consumers, extremely concerning. The utilization of
seemingly-technical jargon, and/or otherwise unspecified yet critical
information, often result in tragedy for consumers19. In the absence of any
information whatsoever regarding how Voyager is processing customer orders,
it is functionally impossible to verify that Voyager is even performing the steps
described on their own FAQ. Voyager, in essence, is expecting the same degree
of trust from users that Bitconnect expected from their users regarding a
“trading bot” that turned out to never exist.
d. Not even the fine print of Voyager’s customer agreements show that they are in
fact not 100% commission free. Voyager is undoubtedly profiting off of
customers utilizing the trade functionality of the Voyager platform, and is
irrefutably not providing best execution. Voyager can not both claim to provide
best execution and be commission-free when it is easily evidenced that
numerous other exchanges provide better rates.
30. The exchange rates provided by Voyager are consistently worse than the rates
provided by cryptocurrency exchanges -- regardless of whether the exchange is
centralized or decentralized, US-based or not US-based, etc. For Voyager to suggest
they are providing any form of “best execution” across the marketplace is
demonstrably false.

a. What makes Voyager’s representations even more egregious is that, in the
course of my analysis, I had performed extensive cryptocurrency deposits and
withdrawals in order to discover cryptocurrency wallet addresses that Voyager
utilizes for customer funds. Customer assets are sent to/from either Binance or
HTC Trading wallets. Comparing exchange rates on Voyager to those on
Binance resulted in Binance having better exchange rates on every occasion.
Said differently, the one exchange that it is possible to assess Voyager would
be including across their marketplace comparison (and thus should reflect the
same price in Voyager app) provided a better deal than Voyager.
31. Voyager does not publicly disclose any liquidity or trading relationship with Binance,
an exchange restricted to US residents. The absence of any information regarding the
nature of Voyager routinely sending funds to what I presume are Binance account(s)
they control is immensely concerning. While possible a company like Voyager could
onboard to an exchange like Binance with a corporate account in a legitimate way,
Voyager customers would assess a different level of risk if they knew their assets were
diverted to an solvency-audited US-based exchange and an exchange that has not been
hacked, such as Kraken, as opposed to a foreign exchange with more known20 AML
issues and hacks. In my estimation, if Voyager customers were polled on-the-spot and
told their assets were diverted to Binance (let alone what the assets are utilized for
afterwards), many would find this unsettling and many may not have utilized Voyager
if they had this knowledge.
V. BLOCKCHAIN ANALYSIS
32. In order to perform this analysis, I utilized Chainalysis Reactor. Available as
supporting records are full resolution graphs and native .grf files for any and all
blockchain analysis cited in this report.
33. Chainalysis Reactor is considered to be the industry standard for blockchain analysis
for many reasons, the most significant one being attribution, which is the labeling of
wallet addresses. Chainalysis has better attribution, by a multiplier, than any of their
competitors. Said differently, of any blockchain analysis tool provider, the one most

likely to have pre-existing wallet address identification for Voyager wallets would be
Chainalysis.
34. Upon a search of Celsius, a core Voyager competitor, their addresses are
well-attributed; note the requirement to scroll down to see the full depth of
cryptocurrencies that Celsius wallets are attributed in. Upon a search for Voyager, only
four cryptocurrencies are attributed, and of those, the attribution is partial.
35. While a service not being attributed in Chainalysis does not confirm the service is
suspicious, it is generally typical for compliant and responsibly-managed services to
have attribution in a tool like Chainalysis Reactor for several reasons:
a. Companies will sometimes provide their wallet addresses to companies like
Chainalysis in order to be helpful to law enforcement and/or decrease the

overhead associated with false positives and inquiries that would otherwise
stem from a lack of attributed wallet addresses.
b. It is expected that companies such as Voyager have effective compliance
program.
i.
A preliminary review of Voyager’s LinkedIn page does not suggest
they have sufficient compliance staff21. The few employees I do see
with roles that would be applicable do not appear to have relevant
industry experience nor certifications in any blockchain analysis tool.
1. I note that Muhammad Darr obtained a certification from
Blockchain Intelligence Group around the time he joined
Voyager22. BIG would not be a sufficient tool for a firm such as
Voyager to effectively be compliant. Mr. Darr would know this,
as his time at Gemini (which utilizes Chainalysis) would easily
evidence the significant difference in capabilities between
Chainalysis and BIG.
ii.
Voyager is one of the few larger western-focused services not
represented in Crypto Defender’s Alliance 23, which is free to join and
significantly bolsters AML efficiency.
iii.
Most importantly, in order to have an effective compliance program, a
blockchain business must have a transaction monitoring/analysis tool,
such as one from Chainalysis, Elliptic, or Crystal. Without such a tool,
it is impossible to have the baseline information needed to assess AML
risk; or in simpler terms, it is impossible to be compliant without such a
tool. These tools range significantly in terms of cost, however, a
company the scale of Voyager can undeniably afford the most potent
tool (Chainalysis KYT.)
1. I further note that it is possible, even probable, Voyager does,
indeed, have a transaction analysis tool. However, it is also
common that companies will simply acquire such a tool for
“compliance theatre”. The mere acquisition of such a tool does
not make a company any more compliant than being in the
garage makes a person a car.

iv.
The very nature of a blockchain startup utilizing a blockchain analysis
tool would typically entail their wallets being attributed in the tool
provider’s system. More simply: if Voyager utilized Chainalysis KYT,
it is likely that Chainalysis would have Voyager wallets attributed.
c. Besides companies voluntarily providing wallet address attribution to firms
such as Chainalysis (or being themselves customers), another way addresses
sometimes are attributed is via utilization. For example, while Coinbase does
not utilization Chainalysis (as they have their own transaction analysis tool
from a company they acquired24), Chainalysis has extremely strong Coinbase
attribution.
d. I note it is my experience that blockchain companies that are not easily
evidenced as compliant often do not desire for their wallet addresses to be
attributed out of concern of wrong-doing25.
36. Consequently, in order to determine what Voyager does with customer deposits, how
Voyager processes customer withdrawals, and potentially identify some exchanges
Voyager may have included in their alleged marketplace comparisons, I made
numerous deposits and withdrawals of varied cryptocurrencies with an account on
Voyager. Full resolution copies of all of these graphs are attached as Exhibit D.

39. In the above example, when I made an XRP deposit to Voyager, it was sent to a
Binance deposit address. It is impossible to know what Voyager did with my XRP
after this deposit without records from the associated Binance account.
40. In the above example, when making a LTC deposit to Voyager, funds are promptly
“swept” to Binance. When requesting a LTC withdrawal from the Voyager account,
the withdrawal is processed from Voyager wallets.

41. In the above example, the USDC deposit I made to Voyager is promptly swept to
Binance. The withdrawal is processed from an unattributed address that belongs to
either HTC Trading or Voyager, and unsurprisingly evidences further heavy utilization
of Binance as the sole exchange with any observable and significant direct connection.
42. Analysis of Voyager across other assets presented similar findings: funds would be
swept to or withdrawn from either a Binance or HTC trading address or an
unattributed address with a strong relationship to those two entities. It would be
disproportionate/repetitive to detail each asset, however, graphs for each asset are
attached to this report.

43. While proportionality and focus at this time preclude me from providing a deeper
review into Voyager’s AML practices, observations regarding Voyager addresses (and
the nature of the entities they send and receive cryptocurrencies from) while
conducting my attribution work did prompt concerns. As just one example, Voyager’s
known Bitcoin address sends funds to exchanges that are not US-based or even
preclude US residents from signing up (KuCoin, Binance, Byibit, and FTX would all
be strong examples.) In essence, where Voyager customer’s withdraw funds to does
not reflect what I’d expect a US-based company soliciting US-based users27 to send
funds to. In my experience, when I see sending exposure28 that does not reflect the
targeted demographic, the company attributed to the wallet(s) has an (often
intentional) porous approach to compliance; said differently, I find it very unlikely that
the quantity of Source of Wealth inquiries Voyager sent to customers due to these
observations (assets going to US-restricted exchanges) would match the statistics
shown above.

44. My blockchain analysis did not enable me to determine anything insofar as Voyager’s
purported trade processing practices. This is what I expected, as trades are executed by
(centralized) exchanges in a means that does not involve a blockchain transaction.

45. In order to compare Voyager’s rates to the general cryptocurrency marketplace, I
executed the following process:
a. Voyager was opened on my left display. The exchange I am comparing
Voyager was opened on my right display.
b. I would enter the same market order on Voyager and the exchange I would be
comparing Voyager to. For example, if I was comparing how much BTC I
would receive in a market buy order for Voyager and Coinbase, I would have
the same order ($100 in exchange for BTC) opened on Voyager and Coinbase.
c. I would Windows-Shift-S (which freezes your screen) and note the time, jot
down the relevant data from Voyager and the compared exchange. I would
save the screenshot, and enter the data into the spreadsheet30. Consequently, I
have substantiating records for all of the entries in a spreadsheet that can't be
refuted on potentially being done at different times.
d. I note this comparison is quite simple to do, and anybody with a Voyager
account can follow the above steps to compare quotes in the same way. In my
estimation, the only reason Voyager customers do not do this is because they
are told -- whether by Voyager or an (uncorrected) member of the public (often
an “influencer”) that the trades are commission-free.
46. As part of this analysis, I selected the following exchanges to compare Voyager’s
rates:
a. Coinbase and Kraken, as they are exchanges heavily utilized by US customers
with high liquidity.
b. Binance, as Binance has some of the highest liquidity/quantity of trading pairs
in the industry. Further, the only exchange Voyager is presently evidenced as
potentially sourcing liquidity from is Binance.
c. FTX, as this is an exchange more focused to advanced traders -- certainly, the
type of platform that Voyager (or whoever Voyager is purportedly lending
assets to) would be extremely likely to utilize.
d. Uniswap and Sushiswap, as these are decentralized exchanges with highly
transparent and verifiably accurate order books that would also be sensible
routes for a “best marketplace” rate.

47. On all but one occasion (which was for a less liquid cryptocurrency, ZRX, in a small
amount, on FTX), Voyager's prices were worse than whichever exchange they were
compared to. Voyager does not offer better pricing on trades. In fact, the rates Voyager
offers would result in a plainly worse deal, often to the tune of nearly or more than 1%
higher than competitors, even on highly liquid pairs such as BTC/USD:
48. Consequently, Voyager’s representation of offering “Better Pricing on Trades” is,
under the most generous of terms, deliberately misleading (it is obvious that would
lead most people to conclude “across exchanges”), and I’d opine deliberately
misleading in a way that is plainly to enrich themselves at the expense of that very
misconception Voyager instills.
49. Voyager represents they are referencing several exchanges to leverage their “smart
order router.” Unless Voyager is utilizing 3 or more exchanges which provide rates
that are far above industry standards (which I not only find incredibly unlikely, but if it

were somehow true, would mean Voyager is grossly incompetent in selecting the
exchanges they use), they either are not utilizing three or more exchanges or are
tacking exuberant fees on top.
50. Baffled as to how Voyager may be generating the quotes for market buy/sell orders, I
decided to run one more test on Voyager regarding USD/USDC. USDC is a
cryptocurrency known as a stablecoin, which should be close to the value of the USD;
however, these assets are never entirely 100%-pegged31. Consequently, if one goes
onto a cryptocurrency exchange (with legitimate liquidity -- so Coinbase or Kraken
would be good choices, whereas an exchange known for fake volume, which is also
likely to have fake order books, such as HitBTC32 might not be), and seeks to trade
between a stablecoin and fiat, the exchange will not be an exact 1:1 match. Note that
when entering tens or hundreds of millions of dollars into a USDC buy order on
Kraken, the peg noticeably is lost, as it should be. Note that on Voyager it does not.
33
51. In the absence of any indication Voyager is sourcing funds from exchanges, as well as
the alarming revelation that Voyager’s system purports to effectively have infinite
USDC stores at peg, I am thus left to conclude that it is possible, if not probable,
Voyager is not basing their market quotes off exchanges. The explanation may simply
be that Voyager sources liquidity from Binance at a markup.
VII. OTHER OBSERVATIONS REGARDING VOYAGER
52. Voyager's withdrawal fees are high compared to competing services. Interestingly, one
of their core partners/competitors, Celsius, seems to have no issues providing free
withdrawals. And while I'm aware Celsius requires a minimum $10 equivalent
withdrawal, Voyager has withdrawal minimums as well, and Voyager's withdrawal
fees oftentimes exceed $10.
53. Binance is restricted to US residents. While that does not preclude a business from
using them if, say, they are registered overseas, I'd be curious how this is legally
structured. If, in reality, Voyager is taking US customer funds, and just giving them to

HTC Trading, and/or trading them themselves on Binance, I am especially curious
how this is handled insofar as company structure. Notably, with Binance’s known
AML issues, even if Voyager were transparently providing Binance’s rates on
cryptocurrency trades (which they are not) to US users, Voyager is effectively a
workaround for Binance being restricted to US residents and Voyager can not know,
with confidence, what their ultimate source of funds is. Such activity would be, from a
value transfer/blockchain analysis standpoint, described as a workaround to US
regulatory requirements and cryptocurrency exchange terms of use.
54. HTC Trading has heavy Bitstamp exposure; Bitstamp is known for AML issues. The
quantity of Bitcoin HTC Trading has received from Bitstamp alarms me, and heavily.
This very well could be part of how Voyager can offer such generous interest: a steady
stream of "clean" money from Voyager customers is exchanged for (what was) "dirty"
money from shady OTCs34. Shady OTCs routinely launder for criminals. Taking even
a 30% cut in the laundering process is common; offering, say, 10% interest to Voyager
customers is thus sustained.
55. I can evidence, and have evidenced, that Voyager sends funds to HTC Trading and
Binance. What happens with those funds when sent to HTC Trading is a black box
(until/unless records are provided), but what one can conclude is Voyager, or the
company they own/act through, HTC Trading, has one or more Binance accounts. If
Voyager were, in fact, being honest about providing the best rates to their customers, it
would only be sensible to include in the hypothetical set of exchanges they are getting
these alleged best rates from: namely Binance. Said differently: why does Voyager
send customer funds to Binance where they presumably hold account(s) yet a
Voyager customer will consistently get a better deal on Binance than is shown on
Voyager? As far as the blockchain is concerned, the one place I can definitively assess
Voyager receiving liquidity from is Binance, yet Voyager's rates were worse than
Binance every time.
“All investments involve risk and the past performance of a digital asset or other financial
product does not guarantee future results or returns. Cryptocurrencies are highly speculative
in nature, involve a high degree of risk and can rapidly and significantly decrease in value. It
is reasonably possible for the value of Cryptocurrencies to decrease to zero or near zero.
While diversification may help spread risk, it does not assure a profit or protect against loss.
Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing.
Previous gains may not be representative of the experience of other customers and are not
guarantees of future performance or success.”35
56. The above risk disclosure suggests a core risk that Voyager customers face is the
volatility of cryptocurrencies. A cryptocurrency investor may have a diversified
portfolio as part of efforts to mitigate this risk. However, Voyager’s suggestion that

users themselves can mitigate this risk by diversifying on Voyager is neither verifiable
nor likely to be true. This is because Voyager rehypothecates customer assets. If a user
deposits a less liquid cryptocurrency (relative to BTC or ETH), such as LINK, I doubt
and doubt strongly Voyager is keeping that asset in-kind; instead, it is typical that
companies like Voyager will sell that digital asset for something else. Consequently, if
LINK crashed over 90%, this would impact Voyager and their liabilities to all
customers across all assets, whereas if a non-Voyager-using cryptocurrency investor
simply held BTC and LINK themselves, that cryptocurrency investor’s BTC holdings
would not be impacted. In essence, volatility of cryptocurrencies (at least insofar as
the particular types Voyager users deposit or purchase) is not the additional risk
Voyager users take on by using Voyager: Voyager’s management of those assets is the
risk that would be proper to address, yet Voyager, bizarrely, does not do so in such a
prominent way.

vague statements (“loaning,” “arbitrage”, etc.) that do not provide any proof of such
activity, nor any particulars thereof.

58. Generally, a common public interpretation of what Voyager does with customer assets
to generate income is that they provide loans -- whether to their customers or to
institutions. I find it incredibly unlikely that these loans support the interest rates
Voyager offers and that such interest rates are supported by other means, including
undisclosed higher-risk activity Voyager performs with customer assets.
38
59. Commentary I reviewed defending Voyager was often ripe with presumed facts that do
not reflect what I discovered in my analysis. Per my analysis of Voyager trades, I find

it very unlikely that Voyager is conducting trades “with all those exchanges in the
process”. In essence, Voyager’s representations have misled (deliberately or
otherwise) the public. Voyager frequents and moderates (and even replies to) their own
social media platforms, such as Twitter or Reddit; in my estimation, this would be one
(of an undetermined yet large amount of occasions) appropriate time for Voyager to
have clarified how their system actually works.
39
60. The fact that the public relies on Voyager’s representations regarding best price for
trades is evidenced in posts such as the one screenshotted above: this Voyager user is
plainly under the impression that the rate they receive on Voyager would be the same
used on Binance or elsewhere, which is simply not true.

b. Observing Voyager preying upon new users
c. Observing market trends related to their competitors; namely, that the interest
rates would compel more users (providing further incentive, if not necessity,
for Voyager to take higher-risk, higher-yield activity)
62. These examples of the public misunderstanding, or being led to misunderstand (if even
via a lack of easily-provided clarity) continue to the very day of writing of this report41

63. Even self-professed supporters of Voyager are unable to provide an explanation for
Voyager enticing users to their platform suggesting to trade. If it was possible to
explain away the reality of Voyager’s trades (such as how what Voyager does with
customer assets being “explained away” as “loans” or other vague terms), in my
experience, those with an interest in defending Voyager would likely rely on such
statements: but the math precludes such explaining way.

64. These paid YouTubers, often described as “educators”, should have the wherewithal to
know that Voyager’s representations regarding trades are not accurate. Surely, had
these educators utilized Voyager for day to day trades, they would have the experience
to know it was to their own disadvantage to execute such trades on Voyager as
opposed to a quantity of other platforms. Despite this, these “influencers” aggressively
promote Voyager -- because there is financial incentive to do so in the form of affiliate
links. The general public relies upon both representations from Voyager as well as
from the “crypto influencers” promoting them as their form of second-source
verification of Voyager’s credibility. These “influencers” would not have as much of a
lavish livelihood without Voyager affiliate links, and Voyager would not have near as
many (plainly misled) users without the (incentivized) vouch to use a platform in a
way that would ultimately be to their financial detriment.
VIII. SUMMARY
65. Voyager’s representations, particularly those about commission-free trading, best
prices, and risk, are misleading and inaccurate, as demonstrated in this report and
substantiated with the attachments to this report.
66. Anybody eligible to sign up for Voyager would be able to perform the same style of
trade analysis I performed. There are examples of Reddit users performing similar
steps already.
67. The blockchain industry often attracts “new blood” every bull market. Voyager’s
aggressive expansion in the late 2020/2021 bull market is, in my estimation, plainly
targeting inexperienced cryptocurrency users/investors that would not have the
experience to know better. New cryptocurrency users rely on active industry
participants (companies such as Voyager, and “educators/influencers”) to provide them
with good-faith insight and not mislead them. Voyager’s representations, namely those
about commission-free and best price trading, would undoubtedly be understood to
mean what they say they mean whether by a cryptocurrency novice or a deeply
experienced expert.
68. It is only after trusting companies like Voyager (or the less than integral “educators”
with paid incentive to promote them) and learning “the hard way” that Voyager users
learn they lose money trading with Voyager. The same applies for any Voyager users

practices such as these that have been a prominent barrier to mass adoption of digital
assets: the general public will not trust the blockchain industry until companies in that

awards, affiliations, and memberships in a variety of functional areas, mostly within military and security work as well as
philanthropic undertakings. The most notable of these is a CORe credential from Harvard Business School extension. Mr.
Sanders holds a Certified Blockchain and Law Professional with the Blockchain Council as well as Certified Bitcoin Professional
certification.
Mr. Sanders also holds a Chainalysis Reactor Certification, a course ran by the firm which provides the forensics tool most
frequently utilized in blockchain forensics. During this course, Chainalysis staff shared that Reactor is a tool that presents data;
analysis is still up to the analyst, and referenced Mr. Sanders as one of the top analysts. Mr. Sanders attended the first Chainalysis
CISC course by request and provided immense helpful feedback. Minimal formal training exists for blockchain forensics, and
zero training exists that covers the full spectrum, marrying on-chain and off-chain observations into a comprehensive skillset. Mr.
Sanders has been requested to develop training for CDA, and is in discussions to begin guest lecturing. In short, Mr. Sanders is
creating the educational qualifications.

Dear Mr. Sanders:
Letter of Instruction Re: Mark Cassidy v. Voyager Digital Ltd., et al.
Thank you for agreeing to act as an expert in this matter.
This Letter of Instruction appoints and instructs you to carry out such investigations and
inspections as are currently feasible, prior to disclosure of Defendants’ documents, data,
software and systems, and availability of other evidence, to produce an independent
preliminary expert’s report on behalf of our client, the Plaintiff, CASSIDY, in respect of the
Complaint to be filed in due course by The Moskowitz Law Firm, PLLC, as captioned above.
Any written reports or other documents that you may prepare are to be used only for the purpose
of this Litigation and may not be published or used or disseminated in whole or in part for any
other purpose without our prior written consent.
1. The Parties
This letter constitutes a retainer agreement (“Agreement”) between The Moskowitz Law Firm,
PLLC (“Counsel” or “Clients”) as counsel for the class action plaintiffs (“Plaintiffs”) in the
subject litigation, and Richard Sanders and CipherBlade, LLC (collectively, “CipherBlade”),
under which you will provide litigation consulting and expert testimony services in connection
with the above-referenced matter. At time of writing, it is not yet known which attorneys will
act for VOYAGER in this matter, but we will advise you as soon as known.
2. Background and Allegations
In regard to the issues upon which we request and instruct you to opine, in the field of your
expertise, the background to and the allegations in this case are in summary as follows:

•
Voyager, through its Voyager Platform, offers investors, developers and platform
providers a fully functional suite of APIs and mobile apps to allow anyone who is
legally able to do so the ability to trade, invest, earn and secure digital assets across
multiple types of digital assets. According to its creators, Voyager “is a publicly traded
holding company whose subsidiaries operate a crypto-asset platform that provides retail
and institutional investors with a turnkey solution to trade crypto assets. The Voyager
Platform provides its customers with competitive price execution through its smart
order router and as well as a custody solution on a wide choice of popular crypto-assets.
Voyager was founded by established Wall Street and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who
teamed to bring a better, more transparent, and cost-efficient alternative for trading
crypto-assets to the marketplace.”
•
VDL, one of Voyager’s subsidiaries, acts as a “crypto broker,” being a digital agent
broker that facilitates users buying and selling of cryptocurrencies delivering deep pools
of liquidity. It also offers a single access point to research, manage, trade, and secure
cryptocurrencies for novice and sophisticated investors.
•
Included prominently throughout Voyager’s uniform marketing representations to its
customers is that the Voyager Platform offers trades that are “100% Commission-Free.”
•
Voyager’s “100% Commission-Free” representations, however, are false and are
reasonably likely to mislead objective consumers acting reasonably under the
circumstances. While Voyager does not openly display the commissions it charges on
each cryptocurrency trade, Voyagers utilizes various methods to secrete the exorbitant
commissions it retains from every trade.
•
To effectuate these unfair and deceptive business practices, the Voyager Defendants
use proprietary systems they have developed, which they refer to as the “Smart Order
Router,” the “Voyager Pricing Engine,” and the “Proprietary Fills Algorithm.”
•
In describing the Smart Order Router, the Voyager Defendants maintain that the
Voyager Platform “does not let clients post orders directly on the exchanges to which
it connects or with the market makers that provide liquidity, but instead its Smart Order
Router accepts customer orders and fills them in the market for the customer using its
proprietary order routing algorithm.” The Voyager Pricing Engine “calculates the fair
market price while constantly analyzing the order books, executions, depth of liquidity,
commissions and other proprietary factors across [Voyager’s] liquidity sources and
streams this price to its users.
•
In reality, and unbeknownst to customers, the Voyager Defendants’ “Smart Order
Router,” “Voyager Pricing Engine,” and “Proprietary Fills Algorithm” are designed to
be intentionally obscure and to provide Voyager with hidden commissions on every
trade that in most cases exceed the disclosed fees and commissions charged by its
competitors. Voyager unfairly gains an edge on its competition and overcharges
customers by collecting these secret commissions to the detriment of its unknowing
customers.
•
After being exposed to the Voyager Defendants’ representations that their Platform is
“100% Commission-Free,” the Plaintiff registered for an account on the Voyager
Platform on March 17, 2021, and in reliance on the Voyager Defendants’

representations, the Plaintiff executed a number of trades on the Voyager Platform,
some of which are to be exhibited within the Complaint, for example as screenshots of
the Plaintiff’s May 11, 2021 ‘Market Buy trade at Order ID Dx65EW’, enclosed
herewith at Annex A.
Given that the Complaint has yet to be filed, please bear in mind that the expression of the
allegations and claims in the case are provisional at this stage, and are highly likely to evolve
in due course, with attendant likelihood of development of issues for you as an expert
potentially to address.
3. Issues for you to address
We anticipate and request that you will work as a blockchain forensics expert in consultation
and co-ordination with Dr Stephen Castell CITP, of Castell Consulting, the computer evidence,
software and systems procurement, development, performance and quality expert whom we
are also retaining, with instructions inter alia to work with, but independently of, you, to
monitor, record, write-up and analyse the concurrent test trades that you will carry out using
and operating the Voyager App and certain other cryptocurrency trading platforms.
We request and instruct you to
•
Review the Complaint, in particular the screenshots enclosed herewith at Annex A,
together with consideration of initial case documentation that we provide to you.
•
Carry out and record a representative series of concurrent test trades using and operating
the Voyager App and certain other cryptocurrency trading platforms. We will discuss
and agree with you appropriate arrangements to achieve this, for example as regards
setting-up identities, subscriptions, logons, and funds to carry out these representative
test trades.
•
Produce blockchain forensic examinations by way of provisional analyses, findings,
conclusions and opinions, giving such insights as may be sensibly achievable based on
both the restricted documentation available prior to discovery and disclosure and
relying on the data obtained from the concurrent test trades that you will carry out.
Notwithstanding the above, if having read this Letter of Instruction, you feel that you may not
have the appropriate experience or expertise to deal with these matters, please let us know
immediately.
4. Expert’s Duties
It is understood that (i) you will make reasonable effort to be available upon reasonable advance
notice; (ii) you will keep confidential all information obtained, or analyses developed, in
connection with this or any related litigation with respect to which we may seek your advice
and counsel; (iii) you will use such confidential information solely in connection with this
engagement on behalf of the Clients; (iv) you will preserve any written materials, including
emails, generated or received in connection with this engagement; (v) you will not in the future
consult for, or otherwise represent, any other person or entity with an interest adverse to the
Clients’ interests in or concerning the pending Litigation, or the events or occurrences out of
which the pending Litigation arises; and (vi) you will keep confidential your retention in this

matter, unless and until you are identified in court papers as a testifying expert, or Counsel
otherwise authorizes you to breach this confidentiality.
It is specifically understood that communications with Counsel that identify facts or data that
have been provided to you, and which you considered in forming your opinions, as well as
communications that identify assumptions provided by Counsel and upon which you relied in
forming the opinions in your report, may become discoverable.
You agree that: (i) you will not prepare any draft opinion or report without Counsel’s consent
(regardless of whether the draft is for internal purposes or to share with others); (ii) you will
not share any draft opinion or report, or any notes, with any other person without Counsel’s
consents; and (iii) every draft opinion or report will bear the following legend: “THIS IS A
PRELIMINARY DRAFT. IT HAS BEEN PREPARED BASED ON PRELIMINARY
INFORMATION AND ASSUMPTIONS. NO ONE MAY RELY ON THIS DRAFT. IT IS
SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE OR
IS CLARIFIED”.
It is further understood that, if called upon to provide a written report of your procedures and
findings and to supply expert testimony at deposition, trial, or other hearings, your report will
need to comply with federal and local court rules or procedures, if any, regarding expert reports,
and, in connection with preparation of a report, opinion, or testimony on a matter, you will
need to perform those procedures that you consider necessary to express a professional
conclusion. Counsel may revise the scope of your work at any time during the course of our
engagement. You agree to provide copies of all your working papers and work product to
Counsel and the conclusion of your services.
5. Your report
As emphasised above, you are appointed and instructed to carry out such investigations and
inspections as are currently feasible, including the concurrent test trades that you will carry out,
prior to disclosure of Defendants’ documents, data, software and systems, and availability of
other evidence. We therefore instruct, acknowledge and accept that the independent expert’s
report that we wish you to produce will at this stage be of a preliminary nature.
Notwithstanding its provisional status, the report provided by you must comply with the
applicable requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence,
and the best practices and guidelines developed by the US National Institute of Justice’s
Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence. You acknowledge that the opinions you render
in this matter shall be made in good faith and supported by a reasonable amount of research
and analysis. Prior to the release of any opinions to the opposition, and the rendering of any
testimony, the parties will review the facts and circumstances surrounding your work and
opinions. Further, the parties will review and agree, prior to the release of any expert opinion
and the rendering of any expert testimony, that the anticipated testimony has a basis in fact and
such testimony is both relevant and reliable. Please let us know immediately if, at any time
after producing your report, you change your views.
It is also important to let us know promptly if you need to update your report after it has been
filed with the court (whether that be the preliminary expert’s report envisaged in these
instructions, or any future report that may be produced by you for this matter), for example

because new evidence has come to light, so that we may consider whether an amended version
of your report or a supplemental report should be served.
6. Timetable
As the Complaint has not yet been filed, there are at this time no court proceedings and
therefore there are no court directions in relation, for example, as to when expert reports must
be ready. However, it would be helpful if you could proceed immediately with your work,
with a target to produce a draft of your preliminary expert’s report within the next two months.
Please let us know immediately if this target at any time appears to you to become unworkable
for any reason.
The term of this retention is from the Effective Date to (i) termination of this retention by either
party by giving written notice to the other (such termination shall be effective on the date that
the party receives the notice in fact); (ii) the completion of the services; or (iii) Client’s receipt
of the final invoice for professional fees.
7. Next steps, and Fees
If you accept these instructions, please let us know:
(a) That you confirm that you have had no prior dealings with any of the parties which could
cause a conflict of interest.
(b) When you anticipate completing your report, and if you envisage any difficulty with the
target to produce a draft of your preliminary expert’s report within the next two weeks.
(c) That you confirm your earlier budgetary estimate that the likely costs of providing your
preliminary expert’s report will be a maximum of $7,500 (seven thousand five hundred US
Dollars). Please say at the earliest opportunity if it appears at any time that your fees in the
event and in the out-turn of the work that you undertake pursuant to these instructions are likely
to exceed your budgetary estimate of $7,500.
Subject to these confirmations, we will immediately disburse to you, as you have requested,
25% x $7,500 = $ 1,875 as an up-front good faith payment on account; and we agree that
beyond that we will pay your Invoices to us within 30 calendar days of receipt.
We understand that your fee is not contingent upon the final results and you do not warrant or
predict results or final developments in this matter.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
.........................................................

Preliminary Expert’s Report
1.
MARK CASSIDY and Others v VOYAGER
Introduction and Background
•
•
•
1.1
I, Stephen Peter Castell, submit the following preliminary report declaring
my interim and provisional opinions related to those technical issues and
case documentation which I have been instructed to examine, as presently
arising from this CASSIDY v VOYAGER matter.
This preliminary report provides my provisional opinions, about which I may
testify at the Trial on behalf of CASSIDY, in regard to these issues, as well
as the bases of those opinions. This preliminary report is based on my study,
examinations, investigations, expertise and experience to date, and sets
forth the interim testimony that I am likely to present regarding my
provisional opinions.
I expect also to develop my testimony dependent on future disclosure of
relevant documentation and other evidence, including computer software
and systems; and may also eventually present testimony in rebuttal to any
testimony and evidence that VOYAGER may present.

Preliminary Expert’s Report
1.2
MARK CASSIDY and Others v VOYAGER
Background to the Dispute and my Appointment
4. I was by Letter of Instruction dated July 16, 2021 (as given at Appendix TWO:
Documents Provided and Reviewed in this Report), appointed and instructed by
Attorney Adam Moskowitz, Partner, The Moskowitz Law Firm, PLLC, to produce an
independent preliminary expert’s report on behalf of his client, the Plaintiff, MARK CASSIDY
and Others. I understand from my Letter of Instruction that a CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
AND DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL is to be filed by Attorney Moskowitz on Behalf of the Plaintiff
in a UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA. However, as the Complaint has
yet to be filed, I have been instructed to bear in mind that the expression of the allegations
and claims in the case are provisional at this stage, and are highly likely to evolve in due
course, with attendant likelihood of development of issues for me as an expert potentially to
address in the future (‘the Complaint’).
5. I further understand from my Letter of Instruction that, in regard to the preliminary issues
upon which I have been asked to opine, in the field of my expertise, the background to and
the allegations in this case are in summary as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
“Voyager, through its Voyager Platform, offers investors, developers and platform
providers a fully functional suite of APIs and mobile apps to allow anyone who is legally
able to do so the ability to trade, invest, earn and secure digital assets across multiple
types of digital assets. According to its creators, Voyager ‘is a publicly traded holding
company whose subsidiaries operate a crypto-asset platform that provides retail and
institutional investors with a turnkey solution to trade crypto assets. The Voyager
Platform provides its customers with competitive price execution through its smart
order router and as well as a custody solution on a wide choice of popular cryptoassets. Voyager was founded by established Wall Street and Silicon Valley
entrepreneurs who teamed to bring a better, more transparent, and cost-efficient
alternative for trading crypto-assets to the marketplace.’”
Voyager Digital LLC (“VDL”), one of Voyager’s subsidiaries, acts as a “crypto broker,”
being a digital agent broker that facilitates users buying and selling of cryptocurrencies
delivering deep pools of liquidity. It also offers a single access point to research,
manage, trade, and secure cryptocurrencies for novice and sophisticated investors.
Included prominently throughout Voyager’s uniform marketing representations to its
customers is that the Voyager Platform offers trades that are “100% CommissionFree.”
Voyager’s “100% Commission-Free” representations, however, are false and are
reasonably likely to mislead objective consumers acting reasonably under the
circumstances. While Voyager does not openly display the commissions it charges on
each cryptocurrency trade, Voyagers utilizes various methods to secrete the exorbitant
commissions it retains from every trade.
To effectuate these unfair and deceptive business practices, the Voyager Defendants
claim to use proprietary systems they have developed, which they refer to as the
“Smart Order Router,” the “Voyager Pricing Engine,” and the “Proprietary Fills
Algorithm.”
In describing the Smart Order Router, the Voyager Defendants maintain that the
Voyager Platform “does not let clients post orders directly on the exchanges to which
it connects or with the market makers that provide liquidity, but instead its Smart
Order Router accepts customer orders and fills them in the market for the customer

using its proprietary order routing algorithm.” The Voyager Pricing Engine “calculates
the fair market price while constantly analyzing the order books, executions, depth of
liquidity, commissions and other proprietary factors across [Voyager’s] liquidity sources
and streams this price to its users.”
In reality, and unbeknownst to customers, the Voyager Defendants’ “Smart Order
Router,” “Voyager Pricing Engine,” and “Proprietary Fills Algorithm” are designed to be
intentionally obscure and to provide Voyager with hidden commissions on every trade
that in most cases exceed the disclosed fees and commissions charged by its
competitors. Voyager unfairly gains an edge on its competition and overcharges
customers by collecting these secret commissions to the detriment of its unknowing
customers.
After being exposed to the Voyager Defendants’ representations that their Platform is
“100% Commission-Free,” the Plaintiff registered for an account on the Voyager
Platform on March 17, 2021, and in reliance on the Voyager Defendants’
representations, the Plaintiff executed a number of trades on the Voyager Platform,
some of which are to be exhibited within the Complaint, for example as screenshots
of the Plaintiff’s May 11, 2021 ‘Market Buy trade at Order ID Dx65EW’, enclosed
herewith at Annex A”.
6. My Letter of Instruction further sets out that:
“We anticipate and request that you will work as a computer evidence, software and
systems procurement, development, performance and quality expert in consultation
and co-ordination with Mr Rich Sanders, of Cipherblade, the blockchain forensics
expert whom we are also retaining, with instructions to and arrangements made for
him to access and make a series of concurrent test trades using the Voyager App, and,
for comparison and contrast, using certain other different cryptocurrency trading
platforms”;
and requests and instructs me to:
•
•
•
•
“Review the Complaint, in particular the screenshots enclosed herewith at Annex A,
together with consideration of initial case documentation that we provide to you.
Working with, but independently of, Mr Sanders, monitor, record, write-up and analyse
the concurrent test trades that Mr Sanders will carry out using and operating the
Voyager App and certain other cryptocurrency trading platforms.
Produce examinations by way of provisional analyses, findings, conclusions and
opinions, giving such insights as may be sensibly achievable based on both the
restricted documentation available prior to discovery and disclosure and relying on the
data obtained from the concurrent test trades that Mr Sanders will carry out. We
recognize and agree that, prior to discovery and disclosure, these examinations cannot
and will not include carrying out your own technical investigation or research on or
into, nor testing of, the specific or detailed software and systems specification, design,
construction, testing, commissioning, deployment, operation, user experience
(including guides and documentation), maintenance and fault-logging of the Voyager
App and other Voyager systems that may be involved.
Provide a brief overview and explanation of the blockchain and cryptocurrency, crypto
assets etc field to assist the understanding of the Court, in respect of principally a
general introduction, plus as regards technical issues relevant in the case”.

MARK CASSIDY and Others v VOYAGER
Analysis and Findings
4.1 Introduction to Blockchain and Cryptocurrency
17. In simple terms, blockchain is the computer software and systems technology that
(among other things) enables the existence of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the name of the
best-known cryptocurrency, being the cryptocurrency for which blockchain technology was
originally developed. Like the USD, a cryptocurrency is a medium of financial value exchange,
but it is digital and uses encryption techniques to control the creation of monetary units and
to verify the transfer of funds.
18. A blockchain is a software and systems application that provides a decentralized ledger
of all transactions across a peer-to-peer network. The key principle of using blockchain is that
participants can confirm transactions without a need for a central clearing authority. Potential
applications in the financial and investment sector can include fund transfers, and settling
trades. Other application areas, or ‘use cases’, for blockchain are myriad, and include voting,
supply chain logistics management and health informatics.
19. Blockchain thus has potential applications far beyond Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. From
a general business perspective, blockchain technology may be thought of as a type of nextgeneration business process improvement software. ‘Collaborative technology’ such as
blockchain can offer the ability to improve the business processes that occur between
companies, significantly lowering the ‘cost of trust’. For this reason, there is a growing
management and investor realization that, in the right use cases, blockchain may offer
substantially higher returns ‘for each investment dollar spent’ than many traditional corporate
internal technology investments.
20. I set out further basic introduction to and explanation of blockchain and cryptocurrency
in general, and Bitcoin in particular, in Addendum A: Introduction to Blockchain and
Cryptocurrency of this Preliminary Expert’s Report.
4.2 Scope of Expert Work
21. The expert investigations that it seems to me need to be carried out to undertake the
analyses required by my instructions in order to arrive at conclusions and opinions on the
issues, of assistance to the court, include within their scope examination of:
•
Computer Software & Evidence – within Voyager App (smartphone or other
end-user platform).
•
Computer Software & Evidence – within Voyager Digital Company (‘backend’,
middleware, interconnections with other systems, especially price data feeds from
trading exchanges etc).
•
Computer Software & Evidence – Third Parties.
•
Algo Software – ‘Best Execution Price’ Computer Software and Systems,
Techniques, etc: (a) Voyager Digital’s software and systems, in particular, its “Smart
Order Router,” the “Voyager Pricing Engine,” and the “Proprietary Fills Algorithm”; and
(b) software and systems in Financial Services, Market Trading and Price Comparison
industries generally.

22. However, based on the restricted documentation available prior to Defendants’ discovery
and disclosure, for the purposes of producing my provisional opinions for this Preliminary
Expert’s Report, undertaking the full scope of these investigations is simply not possible. I
am therefore able, and am instructed, only to consider here the contents of the Complaint
and associated support documentation, together with the data obtained from the concurrent
test trades as carried out by Mr Sanders.
4.3 Review of the Complaint
23. Reviewing the Complaint, it appears to me that, as far as can be seen at present, the
core expert questions to be addressed are:
(i) To what extent does the available technical evidence show that the Voyager App does not
materially provide the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital (a) as regards
achieving the ‘best market price’ or ‘fair market price’ for the user/trader (whether that failure
to provide the represented functionality is centred principally within the “Smart Order Router,”
the “Voyager Pricing Engine,” the “Proprietary Fills Algorithm”; and/or any other Voyager
Digital system component); and/or (b) as regards any other representations or claims made.
(ii) Is there any evidence that the Voyager App fails to perform in compliance with the
representations made by Voyager Digital (if it materially does not) due to faults in design,
construction and operation thereof, as distinct from being deliberately and intentionally
fashioned to perform in the way that it does?
(iii) To what extent is it possible to determine the extent of the financial consequences of
the Voyager App’s not providing the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital (if it
materially does not) on any Voyager App user’s cryptocurrency or other trading?
(iv) Does the technical governance of Voyager Digital in the management, operation,
integrity, representations and security of its Voyager App and of its other management and
customer systems meet accepted professional standards for, and/or custom and practice in,
the consumer electronic financial services and/or online trading sectors?
24. I set out in the following paragraphs my analysis and findings as regards each of these
questions, to the extent possible prior to discovery and disclosure.
25. (i) To what extent does the available technical evidence show that the Voyager App
does not materially provide the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital (a) as
regards achieving the ‘best market price’ or ‘fair market price’ for the user/trader (whether
that failure to provide the represented functionality is centred principally within the “Smart
Order Router,” the “Voyager Pricing Engine,” the “Proprietary Fills Algorithm,; and/or any
other Voyager Digital system component); and/or (b) as regards any other representations or
claims made.
26. I have examined the RESULTS OF TEST TRADES CARRIED OUT BY RICH SANDERS
documentation provided to me, as contained in the Preliminary Expert’s Report of Mr Rich
Sanders of Cipherblade. I have arrived thereby at the following understandings and
provisional findings.

Preliminary Expert’s Report
MARK CASSIDY and Others v VOYAGER
(a) Based on a sample of approximately 30 illustrative trades carried out through use of the
Voyager App (whether ‘buy’ or ‘sell’ trades), when executed near-simultaneously, for
controlled comparison purposes, with the identical trades carried out direct with/on one or
more cryptocurrency exchanges (such as Coinbase, Binance, FTX, Kraken), such that the latter
direct trades may in my opinion be taken, between them, as having been executed at the
realistic ‘best market price’ or ‘fair market price’ practically achievable in the market for each
such trade, on each and every occasion the trade in the sample as confirmed by execution of
the Voyager App was executed at a comparatively worse price. That is, whether a ‘buy’ or
‘sell’ trade, each such trade resulted in an overcharge to the Voyager App user compared with
the trade executed direct on exchanges.
(b) In my view this overcharge to the Voyager User may be characterised or thought of as
essentially an undisclosed commission levied by Voyager Limited. The overcharge/
undisclosed commission varied somewhat per individual trade, between approximately 0.5%
and 1% of the value of the trade, across all trades in the sample, i.e. the overcharge was
never less than 0.5% of the value of the trade.
27. Taking these results into account, in my preliminary view it is quite clear that the technical
evidence so far available shows that the Voyager App does not materially provide the user
functionality as represented by Voyager Digital as regards achieving the ‘best market price’ or
‘fair market price’ for the user/trader.
28. (ii) Is there any evidence that the Voyager App fails to perform in compliance with the
representations made by Voyager Digital (if it materially does not) due to faults in design,
construction and operation thereof, as distinct from being deliberately and intentionally
fashioned to perform in the way that it does?
29. (a) In my experience, it is in principle conceivable that the failure of the Voyager App
to perform in compliance with the representations made by Voyager Digital (which failure, in
the light of the RESULTS OF TEST TRADES CARRIED OUT BY RICH SANDERS, is clearly
materially evident), and the resulting overcharge to the Voyager App user, could perhaps be
due to faults in design, construction and operation, as distinct from (and/or in addition to)
being deliberately and intentionally fashioned to perform in the way that it does. However,
until Defendant’s discovery and disclosure of all relevant documentation and data pertaining
to the Voyager App, and the Voyager Digital, software and systems, I am presently unable to
carry out any substantive examinations or analysis speaking to answering this question.
(b) In the meantime, whether the overcharge is as a result, on the part of Voyager Digital’s
management, of a fault in Voyager Digital's software development management, i.e. the
company’s software design, build, testing, deployment and operational processes, or arises
from a deliberate intent of the company to deceive and overcharge the users of its Voyager
App, or some combination of both, in my view and experience, and dependent, as noted
herein, on due inspection and examination of the software development, management and
operational documentation to be disclosed by Voyager Digital, such overcharge provisionally
appears to me to be a definite software material defect. I naturally defer to the court to make
that finding legally in due course, and, if so, determine what restitution and compensation
falls to be provided by Voyager Digital for the financial consequences of such a software
material defect.
(c) However, and subject to the Discovery that will be necessary to analyze definitively
whether what the Voyager Digital company’s management is doing is intentional, in my

MARK CASSIDY and Others v VOYAGER
preliminary view, since the overcharge/undisclosed commission appears to be present in every
trade, it is highly likely that the Voyager App is deliberately conceived and designed by the
company’s management to function that way, or, equally, the company’s management has
grossly failed to discharge its requisite IT and corporate governance duties, and has failed to
correct this software material defect, perhaps because it is to their company’s benefit. It
seems highly unlikely to me that the Voyager Digital company’s IT and corporate management
did, and does, not know (and, if not, it should), what was and is happening as regards this
software material defect and its overcharge/undisclosed commission financial consequences
to the Voyager App user.
30. (iii) To what extent is it possible to determine the extent of the financial consequences
of the Voyager App’s not providing the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital (if
it materially does not) on any Voyager App user’s cryptocurrency or other trading?
31. Until Defendant’s discovery and disclosure of its financial accounting systems, software
and data, so that an examination of actual accounting records can be undertaken and a
determination made of the scale of the quantitative financial consequences on any Voyager
App user’s cryptocurrency or other trading, I am presently unable to carry out an analysis, on
a realistic calculated, grounded data basis, speaking to answering this question.
32. In the meantime I tentatively analyse, by way of an estimate, as follows. For purposes
of commencing estimate calculations I consider for illustration:
10,000 Voyager App users; and
$1,000 of buy trades each per user, per month, on average.
Using these illustrative nominal figures gives a total of 10,000 x $1,000 = $10m of buy trades
per month executed by Voyager Digital across all Voyager App users, that is a total of 12 x
$10m = $120m pa. From the RESULTS OF TEST TRADES CARRIED OUT BY RICH SANDERS
summarised above, it appears highly likely that the Voyager App causes each buy trade of
every user to cost at least 0.5% more than the 'best price’ or ‘fair price’ that the Voyager App
promises. On the above ‘nominal figures’ basis, this would therefore amount to a total buy
trades overcharge to all Voyager App users running at a rate of at least 0.5% x $120m pa =
$0.6m pa overcharge.
33. However, this estimate of a $0.6m pa overcharge to all Voyager App users is an illustrative
result only, based simply on assumed nominal figures. I now move on from those assumed
nominal figures, and refer to Voyager Digital’s own actual data: on pages 9-11/28 of the
Voyager Digital Limited document ‘investor presentation sept 2021.pdf’, I note the following
financial details presented:
“Key Metrics: Verified Users 9/7/21 2.0 million
Fiscal 3Q Highlights (millions): Revenue $60 Operating Profit $30 Operating Margin
50%
Where we are today: $5.0B+ Assets Under Management
Voyager Timeline: Q3/20 $150MM AUM ... Q1/21 $1.7B AUM ... Q2/21 $3.3B AUM &
$100MM+ Quarterly revenue ...”.
34. These details appear also to be consistent with, and confirmed by, the accounts and
presentations given in the Voyager Digital Limited documents ‘Condensed Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements 3 and 9 months ending march 31, 2021 and 2020.pdf’ and
‘MDA for 3 and 9 months ended March 31 2021.pdf’. The links I have noted at end of this
paragraph additionally essentially present discussion and figures that are consistent with
these. The Voyager accounts and presentations show, on Voyager Digital’s own March 2021

Preliminary Expert’s Report
MARK CASSIDY and Others v VOYAGER
announced figures therein, that the company had Assets Under Management (AUM) exceeding
$2.4 billion, with Total Funded Accounts as at March 2021 at over 270,000, suggesting a
persistent level of funding available for buy trades per user of $2.4bn / 270,000 = $8,889 on
average per user (rather than the $1,000 that I assumed in my nominal figures). The Voyager
Digital Limited document ‘investor presentation sept 2021.pdf’ states that Voyager’s AUM as
at September 2021 were $5.0 billion, i.e. its AUM had grown (5.0-2.40/2.4) = 108.33%
between March 2021 and September 2021. I make what I believe is a reasonable assumption
that the company’s Total Funded Accounts would in the same period have grown pro rata and
thus have been at the level of slightly over double the figure at March 2021, i.e. (270,000 x
108.33%) + 270,000 = 562,500. These September 2021 figures therefore suggest once

Voyager Review: Buy & Sell 50+ Digital Currencies on This User-Friendly App Nov. 11, 2021
... Voyager says you can earn up to 9% APY on stablecoins, such as USDC, and 6.25% on
Bitcoin ... Voyager is a cryptocurrency broker that facilitates trading across more than a
dozen of the best cryptocurrency exchanges. It’s not an exchange itself; instead, it uses
proprietary technology called the Voyager Smart Order Router to give customers access to
dozens of currencies across multiple exchanges. ... You have to download the app to use
Voyager ... Voyager trades are technically commission-free -- you never pay anything above
the quoted price for a trade. Instead, Voyager takes a small cut of the difference if it finds
you a price below its quote and lets you keep the rest. So Voyager only takes money if it
saves you money. ...

Voyager Digital Preliminary Revenue Drops 40% from Previous Quarter October 6, 2021
Voyager projects its revenue for its fiscal 2022 first quarter ending on September 30 to be
between $63 million to $67 million, down from $109 million in the previous quarter ending on
June 30. … Although revenue is projected lower, Voyager's total verified users on its
platform increased to more than 2.15 million, up about 23% from 1.75 million in the previous
quarter, according to the data …

Voyager Digital Provides Business Update and March 2021 Metrics Apr 06, 2021
… Assets Under Management (AUM) exceeded US$2.4 billion. Total Funded Accounts at the
end of March 2021 were over 270,000. Total Verified Users on the platform were over 1
million. …
35. Relying on Voyager Digital’s own data, therefore, it seems to me that, for the current
calendar year 2021, and looking forward four more years, i.e. for the period 2021-2025,
reasonably estimated projections are given by the following table, in which I make what I
believe are conservative assumptions, as follows:
•
•
Total Number of Voyager Funded Accounts: increase by 30% each year.
Actively trading Voyager App users: are 40% of Total Number of Voyager Funded
Accounts in each year.

In summary, relying on Voyager’s own reported figures, and setting out what I believe are

likely to be at least $1,085m.
36. (iv) Does the technical governance of Voyager Digital in the management, operation,
integrity, representations and security of its Voyager App and of its other management and
customer systems meet accepted professional standards for, and/or custom and practice in,
the consumer electronic financial services and/or online trading sectors?
37. Until Defendant’s discovery and disclosure of the Voyager Digital corporate management
policies, procedures, staffing, and business, financial and technical governance
documentation, I am presently unable to carry out any substantive examinations or analysis
speaking to answering this question definitively. However, in the interim (and taking into
account findings in Mr Sanders’ report concerning how, for example, Voyager systems transfer
money to HTC Trading, or use customer funds for Voyager to trade for its own account on
Binance), my provisional view is that the technical governance of Voyager Digital in the
management, operation, integrity, representations and security of its Voyager App and of its
other management and customer systems are unlikely to meet accepted professional
standards for, and/or custom and practice in, the consumer electronic financial services and/or
online trading sectors.

MARK CASSIDY and Others v VOYAGER
Provisional Conclusions and Opinions
38. I have carried out my instructions to
• Review the Complaint, in particular the screenshots exhibited therein, together with
consideration of the initial case documentation provided.
• Monitor, record, write-up and analyse the concurrent test trades carried out by Mr
Sanders using and operating the Voyager App and certain other cryptocurrency trading
platforms.
• Produce provisional analyses, findings, conclusions and opinions, giving such insights
as may be sensibly achievable based on both the restricted documentation available
prior to discovery and disclosure and relying on the data obtained from the concurrent
test trades caried out by that Mr Sanders.
• Provide an introduction to the blockchain and cryptocurrency, crypto assets etc field
to assist the understanding of the Court;
and declare that my provisional conclusions and opinions are as follows.
39. I have provided an introduction to and explanation of blockchain and cryptocurrency in
general, and Bitcoin in particular, in Addendum A: Introduction to Blockchain and
Cryptocurrency of this Preliminary Expert’s Report.
40. On the basis of my preliminary review and analysis of the contents of the Complaint and
associated support documentation:
(i) To what extent does the available technical evidence show that the Voyager App does not
materially provide the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital (a) as regards
achieving the ‘best market price’ or ‘fair market price’ for the user/trader (whether that failure
to provide the represented functionality is centred principally within the “Smart Order Router,”
the “Voyager Pricing Engine,” the “Proprietary Fills Algorithm,; and/or any other Voyager
Digital system component); and/or (b) as regards any other representations or claims made.
In my preliminary view it is clear that the available technical evidence shows that the Voyager
App does not materially provide the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital as
regards achieving the ‘best market price’ or ‘fair market price’ for the user/trader.
41. (ii) Is there any evidence that the Voyager App fails to perform in compliance with the
representations made by Voyager Digital (if it materially does not) due to faults in design,
construction and operation thereof, as distinct from being deliberately and intentionally
fashioned to perform in the way that it does?
In my experience, it is conceivable that the, clearly materially evident, failure of the Voyager
App to perform in compliance with the representations made by Voyager Digital, and the
resulting overcharge to the Voyager App user, could perhaps be due to faults in design,
construction and operation. However, until Defendant’s discovery and disclosure of all
relevant documentation and data pertaining to the Voyager App, and the Voyager Digital,
software and systems, I am presently unable to answer this question. In the meantime,
whether through an unintentional failure, or deliberate act, in my view such overcharge
provisionally appears to be a definite software material defect, and it seems highly unlikely to
me that the Voyager Digital company’s IT and corporate management did, and does, not know
(and, if not, it should), what was and is happening as regards this software material defect
and its overcharge/undisclosed commission financial consequences to the Voyager App user.

43. (iii) To what extent is it possible to determine the extent of the financial consequences
of the Voyager App’s not providing the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital (if
it materially does not) on any Voyager App user’s cryptocurrency or other trading?
Making what I believe are reasonable assumptions, relying on Voyager’s own reported figures,
and setting out what I believe are conservative projections, I provisionally assess the total
overcharge to all actively trading Voyager App users over the years 2021-2025 is highly likely
to be at least $1,085m.
44. (iv) Does the technical governance of Voyager Digital in the management, operation,
integrity, representations and security of its Voyager App and of its other management and
customer systems meet accepted professional standards for, and/or custom and practice in,
the consumer electronic financial services and/or online trading sectors?
Until Defendant’s discovery and disclosure of the Voyager Digital corporate management
policies, procedures, staffing, and business, financial and technical governance
documentation, I am presently unable to carry out any substantive examinations or analysis
speaking to answering this question. However, my provisional view is that the technical
governance of Voyager Digital in the management of its Voyager App, and of its other
management and customer systems, are unlikely to meet these accepted professional
standards, and/or relevant custom and practice.
45. In summary, it is my firm preliminary opinion that the Voyager App does not materially
provide the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital as regards achieving the ‘best
market price’ or ‘fair market price’ for the user/trader.
46. Furthermore, in my preliminary opinion the failure of the Voyager App to provide the
represented functionality is likely to be accounted for by elements of the coding or
programmed behaviour of its “Smart Order Router,” and/or its “Voyager Pricing Engine,”
and/or its “Proprietary Fills Algorithm”, either acting alone, amongst themselves, or in
conjunction with the Voyager Digital corporate software and systems with which these
modules connect and inter-operate. However, prior to Defendant’s discovery and disclosure,
it is not possible for me to determine any further details or insights on the matter, and it will
be essential, in order for me to carry out the expert examinations reasonable to arriving at
the necessary conclusions and opinions addressing this issue, that disclosure is given of all
relevant software documentation including but not limited to software and systems
specification, design, construction, testing, commissioning, deployment, operation, user
experience (including guides and documentation), maintenance and fault-logging of these
elements of the Voyager App and of the other Voyager Digital systems involved.
47. Prior to Defendants’ discovery and disclosure, it has not been possible in this Preliminary
Expert’s Report for me to arrive at any finding or conclusion as to whether there is evidence
that the Voyager App’s material failure to perform in compliance with the representations
made by Voyager Digital is due to faults in design, construction and operation thereof, as
distinct from being deliberately and intentionally fashioned to perform in the way that it does.
48. Prior to Defendants’ discovery and disclosure, it has not been possible in this Preliminary
Expert’s Report for me to arrive at any finding or conclusion, other than on an assumptive
basis, as to what is the extent of the financial consequences of the Voyager App’s material
failure to provide the user functionality as represented by Voyager Digital on any Voyager App

user’s cryptocurrency or other trading. In the meantime, making what I regard as reasonable
assumptions and projections, I have made a provisional estimated assessment that the total
overcharge to all actively trading Voyager App users over the years 2021-2025 is highly likely
to be at least $1,085m.
49. In order for me to develop an objectively justifiable model for and accurate quantitative
assessment of the quantum of such financial consequences, based on reliable financial and
accounting records, it is imperative in my view and experience that disclosure includes all
relevant transaction and accounting financial books and records kept and maintained by
Voyager Digital pertaining to each Voyager App user’s cryptocurrency or other trading,
whether held digitally, manually or in or on other media.
50. Based on the evident material failure of Voyager Digital to provide its promised Voyager
App ‘best market price’, and ‘100% Commission Free’, user functionalities, whether those
failures be through deliberate policy and systems design, or through faults in software
construction and operation, I am of the preliminary opinion that the technical governance of
Voyager Digital in the management, operation, integrity, representations and security of its
Voyager App and of its other management and customer systems are likely not to meet, in
whole or in part, accepted professional standards for, and/or custom and practice in, the
consumer electronic financial services and/or online trading sectors, but cannot arrive at a
final considered view prior to Defendants’ discovery and disclosure.
Overall Summary of my Provisional Conclusions and Opinions
51. It is my firm view that for the purposes of my expert investigations to assist the Court
with its judicial pursuit and determination of, or in otherwise resolving, the Complaint, the
Voyager company must declare and disclose all documentation, materials and data, including
financial accounting data, relating to the development, functioning and operation of the
Voyage App, and the software and systems with which it inter-operates or interfaces, including
third-party network or other connections such as those to and with cryptocurrency exchanges.
This is in order that my software and systems expert examination and investigation may
reasonably be carried out, intended to arrive at independent technical findings, conclusions
and opinions as to the specification, objective, intent, design, algorithms, code construction,
behavior, testing, faults, deployment, support, maintenance, revision and operational user
ticket handling, and the operational and financial consequences thereof, as they apply and
relate to the Voyager App and all relevant Voyager company software and systems.

Addendum A: Introduction to Blockchain and
Cryptocurrency
Introduction and Overview
A blockchain is a digital record of transactions. The name comes from its structure, in which
individual records, called blocks, are linked together in single list, called a chain. Blockchains
are used for recording transactions made with cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, and have
many other applications.
Each transaction added to a blockchain is validated by multiple computers on the Internet.
These systems, which are configured to monitor specific types of blockchain transactions,
form a peer-to-peer network. They work together to ensure each transaction is valid before
it is added to the blockchain. This decentralized network of computers ensures a single system
cannot add invalid blocks to the chain. When a new block is added to a blockchain, it is linked
to the previous block using a cryptographic hash generated from the contents of the previous
block. This ensures the chain is never broken and that each block is permanently recorded.
It is also intentionally difficult to alter past transactions in blockchain since all the subsequent
blocks must be altered first.
While blockchain is widely known for its use in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and
Ether, the technology has several other uses. For example, it enables ‘smart contracts’,
software programs which execute when certain conditions are met. This can provide an
automated escrow system for transactions between two parties. Blockchain can potentially
be used to allow individuals to pay each other without a central clearing point, as in Automated
Clearing House and wire transfers. It has potential to increase markedly the efficiency of
stock trading by allowing transactions to settle almost instantly instead of requiring three or
more days for each transaction to clear.
Blockchain technology can also be used for non-financial purposes. For example, the
InterPlanetary File System (IFPS) uses blockchain to decentralize file storage by linking files
together over the Internet. Some digital signature platforms now use blockchain to record
signatures and verify documents have been digitally signed. Blockchain can also potentially
be used to protect intellectual property by linking the distribution of content to the original
source.
How Bitcoin really works
The question “Hey, how does it ‘really work’, this Bitcoin?” is often heard, and it can seem
that there is considerable confusion, and possibly misinformation, on the subject.
If you could ‘pick up a Bitcoin and look it over’, what would you see? Well, nothing meets the
eye—the Bitcoin is contained in something that is virtual, rather than anything physical, a
Bitcoin wallet, essentially the equivalent of a bank account. This wallet allows Bitcoin to be
received, stored, and then sent on to others. If you own Bitcoin, think of the wallet that
contains it as your personal interface to the Bitcoin network, similar to how your online bank
account is an interface to the regular monetary system. This wallet contains a private key, a
secret code, that allows you to transfer or trade Bitcoin.

Preliminary Expert’s Report
MARK CASSIDY and Others v VOYAGER
It is useful to try to straighten out further some detailed technical elements of the ‘Bitcoin
birth and lifecycle’, and to take that a layman’s step, or ‘one dumb question’, at a time.
1. One bitcoin is ‘created’, coming into someone’s initial ownership: i.e. someone
mines 1 bitcoin, or gets ‘rewarded’ with 1 bitcoin (‘BTC’) for ‘verifying
transactions’. Yes or no, is that what happens? Or what?
That’s what everyone may be told happens. But it isn’t. Every ten minutes records are taken
from a backlog (the Mempool) and put into a block 1MB in size, around 2,000 transactions. A
competition is then held for miners to calculate a nonce, which is a number that when added
to the rest of the data in the block and cryptographically hashed gives an output of a specific
format (with a certain number of leading zeroes).
The winner of this race is allocated a reward, 12.5BTC (or 6.25BTC after the ‘halving’
https://blockgeeks.com/guides/bitcoin-halving/). This reward is notated as the first record in
the next block. So at the beginning of each block there is a transaction from ‘Coinbase’ for
12.5BTC going to the wallet address of the miner. This is where what happens in the real
world, and what people think happens, differ. The miner is not rewarded with 1BTC, serial
number ‘xyz1’, 1BTC serial number ‘xyz2’, etc. No, the miner is allocated 12.5BTC ‘worth’ of
BTC. So it’s like putting $100 in your bank account, $100 on the bank’s ledger. It isn’t a
register that you own $1 serial number ‘xyz1’, $1 serial number ‘xyz2’, etc…
So, what we see on the Bitcoin Blockchain Ledger, https://www.blockchain.com/explorer, is a
BTC balance created from thin air and allocated to the miner’s public key (which ISN’T a
wallet). Think of it as a Post Office Box Number.
2. Isn’t that 1 bitcoin’s ‘genesis’ or ‘birth’ recorded somewhere on a (public)
blockchain? Yes or no? Or what?
Yes, the allocation of the 12.5BTC (or 6.25BTC) WORTH is recorded in the first transaction of
the next block. That’s always a good ‘pub quiz question’ to ask to see if someone actually
knows how Bitcoin really works.
3. How is the record of that ‘bitcoin birth’ recorded? Is it not essentially recorded
as “Mined as at <date 0> by {who?} in {where?}”, and as ‘one amount associated
with one address, a unique string of letters and numbers’ (eg
1Ez69SnzzmePmZX3WpEzMKTrcBF2gpNQ55)? Yes or no? Or what?
Yes, it is. For example, we can see this on
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/0000000000000000000f938f46a145f5f85a5e956f047
51367affec12128eb4d
This contains the details of block 621096, mined at 2020-03-10 15:25 by a miner known as
Slushpool. Here’s the coinbase transaction:

4. That 1 bitcoin is then sold on to a first buyer, just 1 bitcoin, 1 buyer; and that
Transaction Number 1 is of course recorded on a blockchain, with data essentially
of at least “Transacted as at <date 1>”. Yes, or no? Or what?
Yes, the transfer is recorded. In fact if you go to
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/0000000000000000000f938f46a145f5f85a5e956f047
51367affec12128eb4d and click on the address highlighted above you will see that
transactions have subsequently transferred elsewhere. Scroll down the page and you will
see an example:
So it looks like this busy miner has paid out a bunch of BTC to over 400 addresses in one
transaction. The challenge is that, just like money in your bank account, there is no way of
knowing that any particular amount is directly from another amount (because it isn’t).
5. To keep it simple, let’s assume that this first new owner of that 1 bitcoin did
not own any bitcoins prior to his/her purchase thereof, and after Transaction
Number 1 does not add to his/her holding. This first owner now has the bitcoin
essentially ‘stored alone’ in his/her wallet, i.e ‘containing’ just that same single
bitcoin address “1Ez69SnzzmePmZX3WpEzMKTrcBF2gpNQ55”. Yes or no? Or
what?
Let’s not mix up wallets and addresses. The Bitcoin Blockchain allocates BTC values to
addresses. A wallet, whether hardware or software, simply holds details of those addresses.
A wallet also usually has functionality to store public and private keys and can sign
transactions, using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signature_Algorithm). If we looked at the
history of that person’s bitcoin address, we would indeed just see the one transaction coming
in.

6. Transaction Number 2: that first owner sells that same 1 bitcoin to another
person (again, to keep it simple, owning no bitcoin prior to this transaction, and
none further added afterwards). This Transaction Number 2 is also recorded on a
blockchain, with data essentially of at least “Transacted as at <date 1.1>”. Yes,
or no? Or what?
Yes, with same caveats as above, it shows value transfer from Address A to Address B. If
you’ve looked at some of the transactions on the explorer you’ll get this now.
7. The second owner, in turn, now has the bitcoin alone stored in his/her wallet,
‘containing’ just that same single bitcoin address
“1Ez69SnzzmePmZX3WpEzMKTrcBF2gpNQ55”. Yes or no? Or what?
Not quite. Remember values are stored against addresses. Wallets store addresses. Wallets
don’t therefore hold bitcoin, they provide the means to access them.
8. After N such simple identical sell-buy transactions we arrive at, say, Richard,
owning that same 1 bitcoin, by way of Transaction Number N, “Transacted as at
<date 2>”; and thus someone is then able to say, by appropriately interrogating
the relevant blockchain records:
This 1 bitcoin has “wallet address
{XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}. It was originally mined by
{who?} in {where?}, and after being mined was transferred (bought and sold) [N]
times between <date 1> and <date 2>”. Yes or no? Or what?
No. But… We can use the Bitcoin Blockchain to see values allocated to addresses changing.
So we could see that Richard had 1 BTC “worth” in his address 12345xxxxx and then a
message with a transaction to “move” 0.5BTC to Stephen’s address 6789xxxx took place. And
we would also see the remaining 0.5BTC being sent back to Richard’s address because Bitcoin
uses ‘unspent output from bitcoin transactions’
(UTXO https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/utxo.asp).
This is where there can be potential befuddlement between those who regularly transact in
BTC who think they understand how it works, versus those who know how it actually works.
For example, prosecuting authorities can bring actions against crypto scammers, fraudsters
and illegal users of BTC because prosecutors don’t have to prove a specific BTC was used in
illegal activity (think ‘individual banknote’ in fiat currencies). This is similar to how a drug
dealer will have an entire bank account seized and not just the individual USD notes that were
obtained illegally. You can track transactions between Bitcoin accounts. But the transactions
are changes in ledger balance values and not movements of specific coins, albeit the latter is
what it looks like to those who don’t know better.
Furthermore, the ledger balances and the Bitcoin accounts could all be owned by entirely
different real people or, equally, they could all simply be in the legal ownership and control of
the same person – just as for USD, the same person may hold and operate several different
bank accounts, and also either with the same bank, or with different banks, and move his or
her own USD between them. Bitcoin value movements as tracked on the Bitcoin Blockchain
and as may be recorded as changes in addresses accessed via wallets may in reality be nothing
more than the digital currency equivalent of someone moving his or her own USD notes and
coin ‘from one pants pocket to another’.

Preliminary Expert’s Report
MARK CASSIDY and Others v VOYAGER
Just as anyone could have many different (varying) piles, or pockets full, of USD notes and
coins, and many different pants pockets, all of which could change with time, with no one-toone relationship ever among them, so any one person could have many different, changing
BTC values recorded on the Bitcoin Blockchain, and many different wallets recording,
dynamically, their addresses.
The fundamentals of analysis of cryptocurrency and blockchain transactions
There is much in the technical literature on analysis of cryptocurrency and blockchain
transactions, including in regard to identifying and verifying account holders, and associated
transactions carried out by them [1]. To my knowledge few, if any, techniques and processes
that seek to do this have achieved wide or generally-recognised standing either legally or
technically.
It should be borne in mind that blockchain still has few settled international standards, and
the concept, and device-implementation, of a cryptocurrency wallet, its definition, structure,
meaning, interpretation and use are not wholly standardised or consistent. They are also
operationally dependent on, and subject to manipulation by, wallet-specific private vendor
software, which is rarely independently verified or checked as to functional correctness or
adequacy, quality, reliability, consistency, security and forensic provability [2].
Cryptocurrency frauds and scams routinely occur and the amounts of fiat money now
relentlessly misappropriated criminally runs to many billions of USD. It is a feature of these
activities that (i) they principally involve proprietary third-party transactional software and
systems (eg that running and offered by cryptocurrency trading exchanges), the ‘on and off
ramps’ that connect the trader, the end-user consumer, to the secure cryptocurrency
blockchain itself: such systems may be of questionable, and unaudited, provenance, quality
or reliability; and (ii) since cryptocurrency trading is essentially globally unregulated [3], with
few checks by authorities or regulators on the bona fides or substantive financial standing of
the promoters and operators thereof, investigators and prosecutors have difficulty identifying
and/or catching perpetrators. If and when they do, they have additional challenges in securing
the relevant fraudulent transactional blockchain and misappropriated crypto-asset movement
evidence sufficient to prove an offence and gain a conviction to the usual ‘beyond a reasonable
doubt’ standard.
In short, it is widely recognized that digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, readily offer
convenience and security to criminals, who operate in an essentially ‘black market’. And this
state of affairs is unlikely to change whilst cryptocurrencies continue to exist and their trading
transactions persist operationally without the backing and responsibility of Regulated/Trusted
Third Parties, and thus, it has been argued, essentially outside the Rule of Law [4].
For the same reason, it should be noted that investigators examining transactions and holdings
of reputable and ordinary citizens who may legitimately trade and invest in cryptocurrency
need to take care not to make inferences and draw conclusions of supposed illegal intent on
the part of such traders and investors based only on technical analysis. Blockchain may, by
virtue of its cryptographic data recording and distributed consensus mechanism, provide
technically a decentralized ‘trust’ architecture; but blockchain, in and of itself, cannot
necessarily constitute a sound, robust, rigorous, trusted and authenticated ‘chain of evidence’
upon which to rely to prove apparently suspicious intent and possibly unlawful actions.

Quantitative analysis of cryptocurrencies transaction graph Amir Pasha Motamed & Behnam Bahrak
Published: 30 December 2019
Introduction Cryptocurrencies have made it possible for a financial system to perform transactions
without the need for a centralized authority while keeping the transaction details and money generation
clear and publicly available. Despite this transparency, people’s identities are hidden, and they can
transact anonymously. All transaction information of a cryptocurrency is usually stored in a distributed
public ledger, named blockchain. The tasks of recording, updating, and maintaining the blockchain is
the responsibility of network users for each coin, whose identities are unknown, and rewards have been
created to provide them with sufficient incentives to do so, making the network up and running.
Although the system is running by anonymous people, due to computational infeasibility of forging
digital signatures and security of cryptography algorithms, transaction alteration is almost impossible.
This level of security is guaranteed by cryptographic algorithms, and as long as these algorithms are
secure, cryptocurrencies integrity is protected. …

Identifying Bitcoin users by transaction behavior Vinnie Monaco Naval Postgraduate School April 2015
DOI: 10.1117/12.2177039 Conference: SPIE DSS
ABSTRACT Digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, offer convenience and security to criminals operating in
the black marketplace. Some Bitcoin marketplaces, such as Silk Road, even claim anonymity ... This
claim contradicts the findings in this work, where long term transactional behavior is used to identify
and verify account holders. Transaction features, such as timestamp, coin-flow, and connectivity,
contribute to revealing the account-holder's identity. The time between successive transactions is the
result of low-frequency effects, such as the desire purchase an item and daily schedule, as well as
higher frequency effects, such as hardware and network latency. In addition to transaction timeintervals, dynamic network features of each transaction, such as coin flow and number of edge outputs
and inputs, can also be used to identify account-holders. In this paper, we propose novel methodology
for identifying and verifying Bitcoin users based on the observation of Bitcoin transactions over time. …
A subset of Blockchain 230686 is analyzed, selecting users that initiated between 100 and 1000 unique
transactions per month for at least 6 different months. This dataset shows evidence of being nonrandom
and nonlinear, thus a dynamical systems approach is taken. Identification and verification accuracies
are obtained using monthly Bitcoin samples. Outgoing transactions, as well as both outgoing and
incoming transactions, are considered. Results show an inherent lack of anonymity by exploiting
patterns in long-term transactional behavior. ...

Cryptocurrencies …store their transactions publicly in blockchains. These longitudinal transaction

wide adoption in (dark) markets and financial activities (for example, goods purchasing, fundraising,

What Are the Requirements for a Modern Crypto Wallet? August 28th 2019 Kirill Shilov
Out of the 18 million of mined Bitcoins, nearly 27% are out of circulation, and most of those are
supposedly lost. … the majority of them are lost due to mistakes in money management. That's why
the importance of crypto wallets increases every day … The first crypto wallet … was very simple: it
allowed for the generation of new addresses and sending BTC to other people. No special measures
were taken to protect or recover the private key, and it was easy to type an incorrect address and send
coins to the wrong destination. … The first exchange was launched in 2010, called Bitcoinmarket.com.
The next year, 2011, was the year when Mt.Gox was launched, and people started to use it as some
kind of a wallet. The Mt.Gox hack (when its users lost nearly 650,000 BTC) taught us not to store crypto
on exchanges, and the demand for secure crypto wallets increased. Over time, many new wallets such
as Exodus and Jaxx appeared, with multi-currency support and new security features. Nowadays, there
are a lot of competing wallets for any currency ...

Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) By Sandro Psaila: IT Audit Senior Manager
As cryptos are expected to shift into the mainstream, one of the biggest challenges is confidence. Can
CCSS bridge the gap? ... People and organisations are concerned about the authentication,
authorisation and/or confidentiality limitations of cryptocurrency transactions. … By standardising the
security techniques and methodologies used by crypto systems around the globe, end-users will be
able to make educated decisions more easily about which products and services to use and with which
companies they wish to align. On the other hand, many cryptos, like Bitcoin, are not governed by a
central control point or “authority”; standardising on security will be a challenging process. ... Although
this standard has been around since 2014 and the number of crypto systems have mushroomed
recently, very few organisations are claiming adherence with the CCSS when it comes to the
management of crypto wallets. In fact, it is perceived that a considerable number of businesses in this
space, mainly start-ups, do not follow security best practices, and their operations do not meet minimal
security standards. ...
