1. Two NFT promoters face charges for alleged $22 million fraud
Golden Finance reports that two 23-year-old individuals from California were arrested in Los Angeles for allegedly defrauding investors of over $22 million in cryptocurrency assets through NFT scams and are currently facing fraud charges. The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Public Affairs 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 activities to support those projects. The Department of Justice accused the two of making or causing others to make 'material false and misleading statements' about the digital asset projects. Additionally, prosecutors also accused Hay and Mayo of providing misleading and false project roadmaps containing future plans for NFT and digital asset projects they had no intention of achieving. The indictment states that Hay and Mayo promoted the Vault of Gems NFT project, claiming it would be the first NFT project 'tied to hard assets.' Despite the promises made, prosecutors accused the two of abandoning these projects after raising millions of dollars from investors.
