He and his associates used a Bahamian shell company, Axis Digital Limited, to convert victim funds into Tether (USDT) and transfer them to fraudulent wallets.
This sentencing is part of a broader effort by the U.S. Department of Justice to combat global crypto fraud and money laundering. Eight co-defendants in the case have already pleaded guilty, highlighting the extensive network involved in the scheme.
