简讯

  • 来自佐治亚州、现年 59 岁的 Edward Zimbardi 在斐济当局于 8 月 14 日与 FBI 和国务院协同将其驱逐回美国后,在联邦法院出庭,面临 12 项电信诈骗罪、12 项洗钱罪和一项共谋罪指控。
  • 检察官指控,从 2022 年 6 月到 2023 年 8 月,他经营了一个名为 The Crypto Program、价值 165,000,000 美元的庞氏骗局,承诺 25% 的月度保证回报,并指示投资者将加密货币发送至由他秘密控制的钱包。
  • 美国司法部称,他在风险极高的货币交易中赌掉了超过 34,000,000 美元,用新资金偿还早期投资者,并至少将 10,000,000 美元用于个人开支。

美国司法部周一表示,这名被指控策划了 165,000,000 美元加密货币庞氏骗局的头目在南太平洋潜逃一年多后,现已回到美国领土。

来自佐治亚州 Flowery Branch、现年 59 岁的 Edward Zimbardi 在斐济当局于 8 月 14 日与 FBI 和国务院合作将其驱逐回美国后,在联邦法院出庭,面临电信诈骗和洗钱指控。

他在 7 月份的一份起诉书中被指控犯有 12 项电信诈骗罪、 12 项洗钱罪和一项洗钱共谋罪。

检察官表示,在 2022 年 6 月至 2023 年 8 月期间,Edward Zimbardi 建立并推广了一项名为 The Crypto Program 的业务,通过宣传承诺每月 25% 保证回报的广告套餐的视频和网站诱骗投资者。

参与者被告知通过将加密货币发送到 Edward Zimbardi 秘密控制的钱包来支付购买费用。据政府称,最终有数千人向这些钱包转移了超过 165,000,000 美元。

据称,Edward Zimbardi 并没有购买广告,而是在风险极高的外币交易中赌掉了 34,000,000 多美元,并用新投资者的钱支付给早期投资者,这是庞氏骗局的典型特征。检察官称,他还为自己花费了至少 10,000,000 美元,包括为儿子买房、购买豪华车辆和支付赡养费。

Why this matters

The case involves alleged losses or deposits exceeding $165 million and thousands of participants, underscoring the scale of investor exposure possible when crypto transfers are routed to promoter-controlled wallets. The cross-border deportation and FBI victim outreach could help authorities pursue restitution and may reinforce scrutiny of investment programs promising guaranteed crypto returns.

据美国司法部称,当该计划在 2023 年 8 月崩溃时,Edward Zimbardi 前往海外,并在 2025 年 7 月得知 FBI 的调查后定居斐济。检察官称,他缺席了 2026 年 5 月在弗吉尼亚州举行的儿子婚礼,因为他准确地怀疑特工们正等着逮捕他。

FBI 呼吁受害投资者主动联系。
