57-year-old residents of Las Vegas charged with alleged participation in $ 45-million coindeal fraud: Doj
months after the Securities and Exchange Commission accused eight people who were allegedly involved in the staging of the $ 45 million coindeal fraud, the Ministry of Justice was against another party.
A 57-year-old inhabitant of Las Vegas, Bryan Lee, was accused of conspiracy with the main perpetrator, who is probably behind the fraud that cheated over 10,000 investors.
- In the declaration of the Ministry of Justice, Lee was accused of working with Neil Chandran and other participants in order to complain about one of the Chandran -controlled companies.
- Chandran was behind several companies associated with meta -related companies, including Free VI Lab, Videlivery Inc. and Vimarket Inc., which promised investors suspicious high returns that were allegedly acquired "by a consortium of wealthy buyers".
"As was further claimed, Lee was the nomineed owner and director of Vimarket and received instructions from Chandran how the investor funds obtained should be paid out on the Vimarket bank accounts. Lee and Chandran have supposedly misused millions of dollars of investor funds and spent them for luxury cars and real estate." - reads the explanation.
- Against LEE, several charges are raised, including an indictment for conspiracy in one case, post -fraud in two cases, transfer fraud in one case and participation in money transactions with criminal property in three cases.
- he threatens up to 20 years in prison for any post -fraud, conspiracy fraud and transfer fraud, another 10 years for participation in criminal money transactions.
- The SEC already charged Chandran and seven other people in January of this year for their participation in the coindeal program. Chandran was arrested in June 2022.
- Another involved, Michael Glaspie, who was responsible for the marketing of Coindeal, is guilty of transfer fraud at the beginning of the year and will be condemned in mid -June.
