ABSTRACT

This chapter presents two fully developed examples of applications of the model of new financial ethics. These are the topic of asset stripping and a discussion on the moral quality of the use of bitcoins in our monetary system. Although edited by the author of this book, it must be noted that these texts are written by students attending the class ‘Financial ethics and compliance’ in master Financial Law at the School of Law of the Erasmus University Rotterdam, in 2014 and 2015. All opinions and deviations from the NFE model presented here are therefore free choices of the students, who of course make their own choices and their own moral interpretations.
