Bryan Lee was added to a superseding indictment in a $45 million metaverse and crypto scam that touted trillions of dollars in potential returns for years.
Friday that a Nevada man helped defraud 10,000 investors out of more than $45 million by touting a fake metaverse project with its own crypto token that would one day be sold for trillions of dollars.over his involvement in an alleged investment fraud scheme called CoinDeal. Lee was charged with conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and criminal monetary transactions. Indictments in the broader case date back to June of last year.
Lee worked alongside three other individuals to convince investors that CoinDeal was a legitimate family of businesses working towards developing virtual reality products, federal prosecutors alleged. Lee and his co-conspirators also said they were in talks with a potential "consortium of wealthy buyers," according to the indictment.
CoinDeal's promoters told investors that the funds were needed to pay for operating expenses until the sale was realized, with Lee and his co-conspirators promising significant returns. In reality, the alleged fraudsters spent lavishly on luxury cars and real estate, prosecutors said. The superseding indictment says the conspirators falsely advertised the names of two billionaires as being part of the potential buying group. Billionaire-1 is described as the founder and executive chairman of an "online retailing company," and Billionaire-2 as the founder and CEO of an "electric car company."
