币界网报道：A Nigerian national, Opeyemi Adeoso, has pleaded guilty to participating in a cryptocurrency romance fraud scheme that defrauded victims of over $1.5 million between 2016 and 2019. The U.S. Department of Justice revealed that Adeoso and his co-conspirators used fake online identities to establish romantic relationships with victims before convincing them to invest in fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platforms. The scheme involved laundering proceeds through U.S. bank accounts and converting funds into Bitcoin. Adeoso, who was extradited from the UK, faces up to 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The case highlights ongoing efforts by U.S. authorities to combat international cryptocurrency-related fraud.
