U.S. prosecutors are seeking to detain Reginald Fowler until his trial for operating an unlicensed money transmission business which may have processed funds for the Bitfinex crypto exchange.
Fowler was charged with bank fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmission service earlier this week by the U.S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
Alongside an associate, Tel Aviv-based Ravid Yosef, Fowler is alleged to have provided cryptocurrency exchanges with banking services illicitly and may be an operator of Crypto Capital, the payment processor at the heart of the Bitfinex/Tether scandal.
Indeed, the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation may be one reason why Crypto Capital’s funds were frozen, which in turn hampered Bitfinex’s ability to process its customers’ withdrawals.
It was Bitfinex’s loss of access to some $850 million through Crypto Capital which resulted in its taking out a $625 million loan from Tether, the stablecoin issuer it is closely affiliated with.
The filing appears to confirm this, noting that “recent public reporting, which is corroborated in part through interviews conducted in the course of this investigation, indicates that companies associated with defendant have failed to return $851 million to a client of defendant’s shadow bank.” 0116承認済み名無しさん2019/05/03(金) 16:22:13.48ID:iyMpUC9n>>100 今日のMVPだろこれw 0117承認済み名無しさん2019/05/03(金) 16:23:27.07ID:sGiW6uh+>>100 自殺してワロタ 0118承認済み名無しさん2019/05/03(金) 16:23:42.10ID:xKVVaUHw ショート64までは想定してる 65超えたら損切り 0119承認済み名無しさん2019/05/03(金) 16:24:42.30ID:IrtP1H/K きたぞ 0120承認済み名無しさん2019/05/03(金) 16:24:58.01ID:vEn0jfQT>>118 これ多そうだから逆いくんよね 0121承認済み名無しさん2019/05/03(金) 16:25:06.22ID:XPXIjVLc 790 玄人 sage 2019/05/03(金) 13:13:29.23 ID:cDNchiR2 買ってる香具師・・・逃げとけ
