A California Man Admits to Laundering Funds for $2.63 Billion Cryptocurrency Scam Ring

1 days ago

Per The Block, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on December 9 that 22-year-old California resident Evan Tangeman has pleaded guilty to laundering money for a $263 million cryptocurrency fraud scheme—specifically, over $3.5 million for the fraud ring. Tangeman is the ninth defendant to plead guilty in the ongoing investigation, the DOJ noted. The group ran the fraud scheme between October 2023 and May 2025, stealing roughly 4,100 bitcoins. At the time of the theft, those coins were worth $263 million; today, they’re valued at about $371 million. The fraud ring included hackers, organizers, target identifiers, phone scammers, and burglars who specialized in stealing hardware wallets. They used stolen databases to target victims: hackers breached websites and servers to access crypto-related databases, and target identifiers filtered that data to find the most valuable victims.
