$20M Crypto Scam Lands Texas Man 23-Year Prison Sentence

Robert Dunlap, a Texas man, has been sentenced to 23 years in federal prison for orchestrating a $20 million cryptocurrency scam. He was convicted of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud for promoting the "Meta 1 Coin," which he falsely claimed was backed by a $1 billion art collection and $2 billion in gold. The assets did not exist. Dunlap promised investors massive, risk-free returns and defrauded nearly 1,000 victims. He used the stolen funds for a lavish lifestyle, including purchasing a Ferrari. Despite an SEC order to stop, he continued promoting the scam and attempted to use "sovereign citizen" tactics to defy the court. He was also ordered to pay over $10 million in restitution.

DOJ Charges Connecticut Man in $950,000 Crypto Investment Fraud

A 24-year-old Connecticut man, Elmin Redzepagic, has been charged with a 21-count indictment for allegedly orchestrating a crypto investment fraud scheme that resulted in approximately $950,000 in losses. According to the DOJ, Redzepagic promised investors substantial returns by trading cryptocurrency on their behalf.

He faces multiple charges including wire fraud, international money laundering, and making false statements to the IRS. Redzepagic appeared in court, denied the charges, and was released on a $500,000 bond. This case emerges amid a broader increase in crypto-related fraud, with losses reaching $370.3 million in January 2026 alone.

OpenSea Insider Trading Case Ends Without A Retrial – Details

Former OpenSea product manager Nathaniel Chastain will not face a retrial for insider trading after federal prosecutors dropped the case. This follows an appeals court overturning his earlier conviction, citing incorrect jury instructions. Prosecutors reached a deferred prosecution agreement, leading to the dismissal of charges. As part of the deal, Chastain will forfeit approximately 15.98 ETH and has already served a three-month prison sentence. The case, the first insider trading prosecution involving NFTs, highlights a legal gap between traditional fraud statutes and digital assets. The ruling may influence how confidential information is treated as property in future crypto-related cases.

US Prosecutors Drop Retrial in OpenSea Insider Trading Case

US prosecutors have dropped their case against Nathaniel Chastain, a former OpenSea employee, following an appeals court reversal of his 2023 conviction for wire fraud and money laundering. The court ruled that the non-public information he used to trade featured NFTs did not constitute “property” under federal fraud statutes. Chastain had already served part of his sentence, including prison time, and agreed to forfeit approximately $47,000 in Ethereum. The dismissal, expected next month, marks a significant legal outcome regarding the application of insider trading laws to NFTs and digital assets.

Terraform Co-Founder Receives 15-Years Prison Sentence

Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy. His criminal actions were central to the 2022 crypto market crash, which erased nearly $40 billion in market value. The judge considered victim impact statements, including one individual who became homeless after losing $81,000. The sentence was deemed necessary due to the severity and deliberate nature of the fraud. Kwon expressed remorse and may serve part of his sentence in South Korea, where he could face additional charges. His case is compared to other high-profile crypto fraud sentences.
