涉案金额7.22亿美元,美司法部计划撤销对BitClub创始人Matthew Goettsche指控
Odaily Planet Daily News: The US Department of Justice plans to drop charges against Matthew Goettsche, the founder of BitClub Network. Goettsche was accused of operating a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme involving $722 million, and was originally scheduled to stand trial in October. Goettsche's legal team notified the judge on July 8 that the two parties had reached an "agreement in principle" to resolve the pending charges. The case has been ongoing for seven years since 2019, with three co-defendants having already pleaded guilty. Goettsche assembled a legal team with connections to the Trump administration to lobby, including Florida attorney Bradford Cohen, who appeared on "The Apprentice," and Brett Tolman, who has helped clients obtain pardons from Trump.
