The US Department of Justice sues $650 million Forex and Cryptocurrency Scam Organization OmegaPro
BlockBeats News, July 9th, according to an announcement by the U.S. Department of Justice, the founder of the international fraud scheme OmegaPro has been indicted for orchestrating a $650 million global forex and cryptocurrency investment scam. Michael Shannon Sims (48), a resident of Georgia, and Juan Carlos Reynoso (57), a resident of New Jersey, marketed "forex investment packages" to investors through a multi-level marketing scheme, promising a 300% return within 16 months and requiring payment in cryptocurrency.
The indictment reveals that the defendants' team created a luxury image by showcasing luxury cars, vacation photos, etc., and later froze investors' funds under the guise of a "hacker attack" to prevent withdrawals, transferring the funds to a cryptocurrency wallet controlled by the executives. Sims is the founder and driving force behind OmegaPro, while Reynoso leads the company's operations in Latin America and the United States. Each defendant faces two conspiracy charges, with a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment for each if convicted.
