Former Los Angeles deputy sheriff pleads guilty to racketeering conspiracy with 'crypto godfather'
-
最新报道：According to a September 30th news report from Bijie.com, the U.S. Attorney's Office revealed that former Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff Michael David Coberg pleaded guilty on September 26th to federal felony charges of conspiracy to commit racketeering and civil rights violations. He used his position to provide illegal protection to Adam Iza, the self-proclaimed "godfather of cryptocurrency," receiving at least $20,000 per month in compensation. According to the plea agreement, Coberg abused law enforcement authority multiple times in 2021, forcing a businessman at gunpoint to transfer $127,000 to Iza and orchestrating a false drug arrest for another victim. The case exposed loopholes in law enforcement oversight, with the Komodo platform's technical director stating that "this case marks a new level of cryptocurrency misconduct, where law enforcement officers extended their powers beyond their official authority." Four law enforcement officers, including Coberg, have pleaded guilty in connection with the case. The main suspect, Iza, obtained $16 million in cryptocurrency through fraud, and his ex-girlfriend also pleaded guilty to concealing $2.6 million in illicit proceeds. Coberg faces up to 30 years in prison, with a sentencing hearing scheduled for February 2026.
