Five members of an international cryptocurrency fraud gang have pleaded guilty to participating in a $36.9 million scam targeting victims in the United States, with the proceeds ultimately flowing to Cambodia. The five defendants, Joseph Wong, Yicheng Zhang, Jose Somarriba, Shengsheng He, and Jingliang Su, contacted victims through social media, instant messaging platforms, and dating apps, gaining their trust before inducing them to invest in fake cryptocurrency projects. Zhang and Wong face up to 20 years in prison for their guilty pleas, while the other three may face up to 5 years in prison. (Cointelegraph)
