What a strange world we live in. Scam people for +15 millions of dollars, not facing any charges. Fly around in Private jets, nobody speaks about it, nobody cares.
Today I would like to probably one of the most succesfull ICO scammers active on Bitcointalk. They started various Ico's and lending programs such as HBC, Pagarex, CADS, and many more.

Now 18 months later, A.K. now started a Real estate business called "AK IMMO". Three of them also started a business for influencers and advertisers called 'SocialCollab'. If you take a look at their instagrams it becomes clear they have a lot of money to spend since 2018. All of them travel in private jets and live an expensive lifestyle.
Some bitcointalk forum members were in talks with a Lawyer firm in Vienna, but I am not sure how it ended. I contacted a journalist last week, he told me that the couldnt find any criminal records on A.K. . The total number of the scam remains unclear, but HBC alone was already +2000 BTC. Pagarex was smaller, but also quite big. And CADS was also very popular.
Imagine scamming for +15 million dollars and get away with it...

Does anyone know any news on how the trial went, if any trial is ongoing or the outcome?

Thanks!!

Isn't this the type of people that should be target by SEC and other law enforcement out there? Instead they are targeting projects that never went or turn scammed, there are over dozens of scammers that scammed people through ICO funding in 2017, it's a big shame, it's also why scammers feels like home in crypto space than real life
