Sex Crimes
Washington, DC, April 26, 2023 – Miller & Chevalier, in collaboration LDCM Advogados, successfully assisted its client, Martin Mestre Yunez and the Mestre Vargas family, in securing the extradition of Jaime Saade Cormane, a Colombian fugitive convicted of the rape and murder of 18-year-old Nancy Mariana Mestre Vargas.
Fraud
Cryptocurrency Promoter Charged with Securities Fraud: In February, cryptocurrency promoter John Demarr was arrested and charged with securities fraud for his role in defrauding investors out of $11.4 million. According to the criminal complaint, Demarr marketed investment contract securities to investors in the United States, claiming that the investor funds would be invested in digital asset mining and trading platforms that would earn guaranteed profits. Investors were later forced to roll over their accounts into an unregistered "initial coin offering" for Bitcoiin2Gen (B2G), which was described as the "next generation of Bitcoin." According to the complaint, investors in B2G never received any digital tokens from the initial coin offering but instead received account statements that falsely represented that their investments were earning large returns. Demarr has been released on bond and no trial date has been set. In addition, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also filed a civil complaint against Demarr and two other individuals – Kristijan Krstic (a/k/a Felix Logan) and Robin Enos – for engaging in a scheme to fraudulently inducing investors to invest in B2G and another company. The court has stayed the SEC proceeding as to Demarr and Krstic while the criminal case proceeds. In April, Enos entered into a consent judgment with the SEC requiring him to pay to-be-determined disgorgement and civil penalties and barring him from selling or purchasing certain securities for life.
White Collar Crimes
Theft
Embezzlement
Finally, in South Korea, the parliament passed an act in late 2019 on the establishment and operation of a new agency, the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials (CIO). As its name indicates, the CIO will be primarily responsible for investigating and prosecuting criminal allegations involving high-ranking officials in South Korea and their direct family members, such as active and passive bribery, abuse of authority, alteration of official documents, and embezzlement, among others. The establishment of the CIO was challenged by South Korea's main opposition political party, but the country's Constitutional Court ruled in January 2021 that the establishment of the CIO is constitutional. As the Constitutional Court's decision was pending, South Korea's President Moon Jae-in confirmed the appointment of Kim Jin-wook, a former judge, as CIO's first chief.
Drug Crimes
Assault
Murder
Identity Theft
According to court documents, Sterlingov operated Bitcoin Fog since 2011. Bitcoin Fog was a cryptocurrency mixer, a service that combines or 'mixes' crypto funds together to obscure the public blockchain ledger of transactions and increase a user's anonymity. Bitcoin Fog facilitated the transfer of over 1.2 million bitcoin over a decade of operation with a total cash value of $335 million dollars at the time of the transactions, or around six percent of all bitcoin in circulation today. Much of Bitcoin Fog's volume derived from the darknet and was linked to narcotics, hacking and malware activities, and identity theft. Prosecutors alleged that Sterlingov took a portion of each transaction routed through Bitcoin Fog and netted around $8 million bitcoin.
Forgery
Investigation Vanguard ) state that parent companies Econosto and ERIKS (Econosto Mideast is part of Econosto; ERIKS took over Econosto in mid-2008) allegedly knew of the cash commission payments and related accounting practices but took no measures to prevent or end the misconduct. As a result, although the bribery conduct was attributable to only Econosto Mideast, the OM found that Econosto Mideast, Econosto, and ERIKS were jointly guilty of committing "forgery." This set of facts accounted for nearly the entirety of SHV's fine: the three companies agreed to pay a total of approximately €40.1 million (approximately $50.4 million) in connection with the settlement, including a fine of approximately €11 million (approximately $13 million) and confiscation of unlawfully obtained gains amounting to approximately €29.2 million (approximately $34.6 million).
Money Laundering
At the same time, on June 7, 2021, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the creation of two multi-agency tasks forces focused on fighting corruption and combatting human smuggling and trafficking in the Northern Triangle: " Joint Task Force Alpha," a partnership between the DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the " Anticorruption Task Force," which includes representatives from various government agencies, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Unit of the Fraud Section, the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative in the International Unit of the Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section (MLARS), and the Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section (NDDS) from DOJ. The primary purpose of the Anticorruption Task Force, in particular, is to investigate and prosecute corruption cases with a nexus to the Northern Triangle.
