PANews reported on December 19th that, according to a statement on the U.S. Department of Justice website, 56-year-old Magdaleno Mendoza was sentenced to 71 months in prison for participating in the IcomTech cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme and illegal entry into the U.S. He was also ordered to pay approximately $789,000 in restitution and forfeit $1.5 million and his California property. Mendoza was a key salesman for IcomTech, leading a fraudulent campaign targeting Hispanic working-class individuals since 2018, promising fictitious investment returns, and assisted in multiple similar scams. IcomTech collapsed in 2019, leaving victims across the United States. Founder Carmona and former CEO Ochoa have already been sentenced in 2024.

From $2 Trillion To $400T? CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x

The post From $2 Trillion To $400T? CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley! So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes.
