Oh, wanna hear some good news? 😁
"A federal jury convicted Braden John Karony on all counts of a three-count indictment charging him with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering."
This is one of the CEO's from the SafeMoon cryptocurrency scam that went on for quite some time
The details of this case are just.. wow.
Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, a federal jury convicted Braden John Karony on all counts of a three-count indictment charging him with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. The charges arose from the defendant’s and his co-conspirators’ roles in defrauding investors in a decentralized finance digital asset called
Haha! Finally a good use of an NFT!
Soon the case for the #Safemoon #Cryptocurrency scam is getting on trail
And as evidence against the CEO, John Karony his own NFT is gonna be used against him as proof he's a massive scammer
In total they have over 17 million dollars in stolen funds proven so far
A funny story from the world of scams and money laundering called cryptocurrencies - a few years ago investors in #SafeMoon, one of the many companies in the industry, were scammed. There is a rather inefficient investigation going on in the US but most of the suspects and the company’s assets have disappeared.
Today it emerged that one of the company’s major shareholders Kyle Nagy has been living for some time…. in #Russia (what a surprise!). In accordance with the principle of ‘grab the plundered’, the Russians started to ‘shear’ the American who came to them with $200 million themselves.
A total of $4.5 million has been extracted from him so far on numerous ‘peace of mind’ fees. The funniest thing, however, is that Nagy went with it …. to the police - and that’s how we know the details of the case, because the case seemed so bizarre to the police officers that they immediately sold it to the WCzK-OGPU channel:
ВЧК-ОГПУ стало известно о просто потрясающем расследовании, которое сейчас ведется в Москве. В этой истории «прекрасно» абсолютно все. Потерпевший- основатель американской криптовалютной и блокчейн-компании SafeMoon LLC Nagy Kyle, который похитил свыше 200 млн долл средств клиентов и сбежал в Россию. Он разыскивается ФБР. Обвиняемыми являются Заур Алибеков и Евгений Царев, которые, по версии следствия, с апреля 2024 получили путем шантажа и угроз от гражданина США Nagy Kyle около 4.5 миллиона долларов США. Плата за его спокойное пребывание в РФ. Еще одна изюминка дела: задержанные, по данным ВЧК-ОГПУ, агенты ФСБ РФ.
#Safemoon has filed for Chapter 7 #bankruptcy with a petition submitted to the United States Bankruptcy Court in Utah on December 14
$SMF Price fell 31% immediately following the bankruptcy filing before regaining slightly.

So nice to see the #Safemoon scammers finally get indicted and then arrested.
Justice has been very slow on this one, but nice to see the long dick of the law finally in action.
According to the report, Smith stole $77 million, Karony stole $55 million, and the creator "only" stole $275k.
How was there so much money just given over to scammers with no oversight?
Even if you're a pretty straight edge guy, the temptation to access amounts of money like that would be so great.
We won!
Scammers Get Arrested
After 2 years, 8 videos, 120 minutes of documentation... it finally happened.
Safemoon Executives have been indicted by the department of justice and FBI.
Braden John Karony and Thomas Glenn Smith have been arrested, while Kyle Nagy is still at large.
OooOoOOooo #SafeMoon grifters have been finally charged: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-229
I wonder what took them so long, this one from the outside seemed a slam dunk. They were unabashed in pumping their nonsense coin and took a lot of money away.
