Golden Finance reports that two 23-year-olds from California were arrested in Los Angeles for allegedly defrauding investors of over $22 million in cryptocurrency assets through NFT scams and now face fraud charges. The U.S. Department of Justice Public Affairs Office stated in a press release that Gabriel Hay and Gavin Mayo were charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, two counts of wire fraud, and one count of stalking. It is alleged that the two sponsored and promoted NFT and digital asset projects and conducted promotional campaigns supporting the projects. The Department of Justice accused them of making or inducing others to make 'significant false and misleading statements' regarding the digital asset projects. Furthermore, prosecutors claimed that Hay and Mayo provided misleading and false project roadmaps, which included future plans for NFT and digital asset projects they had no intention of realizing. The indictment states that Hay and Mayo promoted the Vault of Gems NFT project, claiming it would be the first NFT project 'linked to hard assets.' Despite these promises, prosecutors allege that the two abandoned the projects after raising millions of dollars from investors.
