Odaily Planet Daily News: At a hearing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on July 22, 2024, Antonia Perez Hernandez and Nestor Nunez pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy charges related to the Forcount scam. Hernandez, Nunez and others were accused of defrauding $8.4 million from mainly Spanish-speaking investors between 2017 and 2021, falsely claiming that crypto trading and mining through Forcount could yield lucrative returns. Among the five defendants indicted in 2022, Juan Tacuri has also pleaded guilty. He is one of the promoters who held lectures across the United States to persuade investors to register for Forcount. Under an agreement reached with prosecutors in June, he agreed to forfeit approximately $4 million and property purchased with victims' funds.
