Odaily Planet Daily News informs that the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California announced that a federal grand jury has brought criminal charges against 10 executives and employees related to the crypto market makers Gotbit, Vortex, Antier, and Contrarian. The charges allege that they manipulated the prices and trading volumes of crypto assets through “wash trading” (fictitious trades), inducing investors to buy at artificially inflated price levels.

Law-enforcement information shows that the case was revealed by a covert operation targeting manipulation in the crypto industry jointly conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). To date, more than $1 million worth of crypto assets have been seized. Two CEOs and one executive among the three companies have been extradited from Singapore to the United States and appeared in federal court in Oakland, California for the first time.

In addition, the two defendants previously pleaded guilty and were sentenced. According to the charges, the individuals involved may face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
