Raymondip Bedi and Patrick Mavanga, the dynamic duo of deception, admitted to pulling off a scam so slick, it would make even the most seasoned con artist blush. From 2017 to 2019, they cold-called unsuspecting individuals and lured them to their shiny websites, promising high crypto returns. Little did their victims know, the investments were as fake as a three-dollar bill, and the money was funneled into companies they controlled, including Astaria Group LLP, CCX Capital, and unauthorized clones of regulated firms.
For their stellar performance in the art of the swindle, Bedi received a whopping five years and four months in prison, while Mavanga was sentenced to six years and six months. The court described them as “leading players” in a sophisticated conspiracy that exploited regulatory loopholes to mislead at least 65 investors. 😈
But wait, there’s more! Mavanga also held fake identity documents and was convicted of attempting to obstruct justice by deleting call recordings after Bedi’s arrest in 2019. Both men pleaded guilty to multiple offenses, including conspiracy to defraud and breaches of financial laws. 😱
A third suspect faces retrial in September, while a fourth individual was acquitted of money laundering. The FCA’s Steve Smart said the pair “ruthlessly defrauded dozens of innocent victims,” adding that the convictions demonstrate the regulator’s commitment to cracking down on crypto-related fraud. 👮♂️
