Social media influencer Jabara Igbara, known as Jay Mazini, received seven years in prison for a cryptocurrency scam that stole more than $8 million from Muslims. 🚨

Igbara was found guilty of money laundering and fraud through his Instagram page under the pseudonym Jay Mazini.

Judge Frederick Block also ordered Igbara to pay $10 million in fines for his crimes.
