U.S. COURT EXTENDS SENTENCE IN $20M CRYPTO FRAUD CASE
Nicholas Truglia’s prison term has been extended to 12 years after failing to repay $20.4 million in restitution to crypto investor Michael Terpin.
Truglia, who pleaded guilty in 2021, played a key role in a SIM-swap scam that allowed hackers to access Terpin’s crypto holdings. The stolen funds were later converted into Bitcoin.
This case highlights growing legal consequences in crypto-related fraud, as U.S. courts crack down harder on cybercriminals.
