Golden Finance reports that on June 18, according to an announcement from the U.S. Maryland Federal Prosecutor's Office, a man from Florida, Rodney Burton, pleaded guilty in federal court, with his case involving a cryptocurrency scam amounting to as much as 1.8 billion dollars.
According to the plea agreement, between June 2020 and January 2022, Burton conspired to provide unlicensed remittance services to promote HyperFund and used investor funds for personal profit.
HyperFund claimed to be a legitimate cryptocurrency investment platform, but in reality, it was a global wire fraud scheme, obtaining 1.8 billion dollars from victims worldwide.
HyperFund promotional materials made multiple false statements, including claiming that investors who purchased HyperFund "membership" would receive a daily passive reward of 0.5% to 1%, until the company's initial investment doubled or tripled.
HyperFund also claimed that part of its high returns came from large-scale cryptocurrency mining operations, but such operations did not actually exist.
Since 2021, HyperFund has begun to prevent investors from withdrawing their funds.
Burton controls multiple companies that, on the surface, provide consulting services but are actually unlicensed remittance businesses.
Burton personally received at least 7.851711 million dollars from unlicensed remittance activities, including funds from HyperFund victims in Maryland.
Burton faces a maximum of 5 years of federal imprisonment.
