Edward Zimbardi, the man prosecutors say ran a $165 million cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, is back on US soil after Fiji deported him. He now faces charges in the United States, according to court filings. The allegations paint a picture of a scheme that collected digital assets from thousands of investors, then bled money through bad trades and personal spending.
The deportation
Zimbardi was deported from Fiji to face the charges. Prosecutors allege he collected cryptocurrency from thousands of investors over the course of the scheme. The deportation ends a period of uncertainty about whether he'd ever be brought back to answer for the accusations.
Where the money went
Court documents say Zimbardi lost more than $34 million on currency trades. They also claim he spent at least $10 million personally. That's a chunk of the $165 million he's accused of taking, though the rest is unaccounted for. The numbers suggest a scheme that unraveled quickly once the trading losses stacked up.
