The Southern District of New York's prosecutor's office has charged Mohamed-Amin Atcha, Mohamed Rilaz Waleedh, and Daood Hassan with participating in the 2021 Evolved Apes NFT fraud. The project promised to develop a video game, but after the fundraising ended, the anonymous developer Evil Ape disappeared and transferred 798 ether (about $3 million).

Juan Tacuri, a man from Florida, admitted to participating in the telecommunications fraud conspiracy of the Forcount cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme and faces up to 20 years in prison.

Tacuri admitted to the crime in the Southern District Court of New York and agreed to return nearly $4 million and real estate to the victims.
