The accused, granted interim name suppression, is one of 13 individuals involved in a cross-border scheme that defrauded seven victims. Stolen funds were allegedly laundered through crypto platforms and spent on luxury items like exotic cars and designer goods. New Zealand and U.S. authorities collaborated in the investigation, with further arrests expected. The case highlights rising crypto scams, including a separate $92.5 million DeFi hack in April 2025.
