According to the details shared by the US DOJ, Stojanovich promised investors to provide specialized crypto mining machines for better hash power. He also presented a lucrative scheme for better returns. Through misrepresentation, Stojanovich defrauded investors for a total of more than $1.8 million. He was arrested on 20 April 2022 after crossing from Canada into the United States.
“A great deal of excitement and ‘buzz’ has been generated in recent years about the ‘new world’ of cryptocurrency mining. But new financial frontiers can also generate fresh opportunities for old-fashioned fraud. Here, Chet Stojanovich is charged with using those time-worn fraud techniques on a new frontier,” Williams said.
The US Department of Justice has increased its efforts against rising financial scams in the region. In November last year, the authority charged 2 cybercriminals for their role in ransomware attacks.
Forex and Crypto Scams
Last year, CFTC charged Thomas Plaut and his firms for a $4.7 million FX fraud. While FX-related fraudulent activities have decreased in the US during the past few years, international forex frauds have increased. As far as crypto is concerned, several fraudulent actors are still running illegal crypto businesses in the US, including misrepresented BTC mining schemes.
“As alleged, Mr. Stojanovich induced his victims to invest in his fraudulent cryptocurrency mining schemes and caused them to incur losses approaching $2 million. Today's action should serve as an example of the FBI's commitment to rooting out financial fraud, as well as our focus on identifying and investigating emerging threats as they evolve,” FBIs Assistant Director-in-Charge Michael J. Driscoll, said.
