🔥🚨 A sensational scandal in the crypto world! 🚨🔥
📉 The Estonian founders of HashFlare are on the brink of a final ruling for fraud!
In an exciting development, Sergey Potapienko and Ivan Turugin – the founders of the famous cryptocurrency mining platform HashFlare – face a fateful ruling this Thursday after admitting to conspiring to commit online fraud!
⚖️ Case details:
American prosecutors are seeking 10 years in prison for them, asserting that HashFlare victims suffered massive financial losses.
The defense attempted to downplay the extent of the damage, but the U.S. government described the platform as a massive Ponzi scheme.
The defendants claimed they returned $400 million in cryptocurrencies to users, but the prosecutors deemed this statement untrue.
They were arrested in Estonia in 2022 and extradited to America in 2024, before pleading guilty in February 2025.
🌍 A case that shakes the crypto world and reveals how mining projects can turn into organized fraud tools if transparency and oversight are lacking.
📌 Questions awaiting answers:
Will the judge consider their status as immigrants?
And will the victims ever get their money back?
💬 What do you think? Should they be sentenced to the maximum penalty to serve as a lesson for others?
