Bemutatás
as a Cryptocurrency MLM Club

A
AirBit Club scheme was launched in late 2015. It had presented itself as a “multi-level marketing club” within the cryptocurrency
industry. The defendants used enticing presentations to deceive investors into
believing that AirBit Club guaranteed daily returns through kriptikus bányászat és a
kereskedelmi tevékenység.

Azonban,
instead of funding the promoted crypto operations, which had never existed,
approximately $100 million of investors’ funds ended up in the hands of the
scheme’s founders and promoters. Despite early complaints from users about
withdrawal delays and hidden fees in 2016, the AirBit Club continued its
fraudulent activities until 2020.

USA
Attorney Damian Williams emphasized the pivotal roles played by Hughes, Millan,
and Chairez in perpetuating the AirBit Club piramis rendszer.
Williams stated: “At the top-tier of promoters, Millan and Chairez for
years aggressively solicited investments from and misled hardworking and
unsophisticated investors to line their own pockets.”

He
added: “Today’s sentences send a message that anyone who facilitates
cryptocurrency investment schemes — not only those at the very top of the
pyramid — will face serious consequences for such crimes.”

Ezek
sentences follow the sentencing of AirBit Club co-founder Pablo Rodriguez. He
received a 12-year prison term in late September 2023. Another co-founder, Dos
Santos has pleaded guilty to charges including wire fraud conspiracy, pénzmosás,
and bank fraud conspiracy.

Santos
is scheduled to be sentenced on October 4, 2023. He is the final defendant to
be sentenced out of a total of six individuals associated with the AirBit Club,
with one defendant, Jackie Aguilar, passing away before sentencing in May,
after pleading guilty in February 2023.
