Don't conflate the 2 investigations / prosecutions.

SEC is a civil suit seeking $10M restitution / fine.  That is still on-going.  Don't worry, they have ALL the dirt on him. 

(It is amazing how much interwebz evidence Garbanzo left behind, LOL.)

US DOJ is prosecuting the Scum Bag for criminal wire fraud. 

Apparently even one count of wire fraud carries quite a large sentence, so a plea deal was reached, which will still send his sorry butt to the can for a while.

It's gonna be SA-WEET to see them march his @$$ out of the courtroom in shackles.   



How about money laundering for terrorists What happened to that?

I'd say that the FBI is all over that one.   

How about appropriating the logos and lying about partnerships with Macy's, Wal-Mart & Amazon?

Stealing graphic designs?

Or the 9/11 memorial scam?

Which one is YOUR favorite?

Inquiring Bots want to know!

Good for the record I guess. Just no way Homero is going to be able to squirm his way out of his day in court.

How does the law work in US? His name is not mentioned. Are officers on the hook personally? Can bankruptcy get him out from under this? Is jail an option for this?

I'm thinking yes to all of the above but would like some clarification.

What officers of this company are on the hook?

I watched 'The Wizard of Lies' - the Bernie Madoff story on HBO last night. I can't help but think that Homero is the crypto version of that sack of shit. Live high on the hog for years and then have his family disintegrate, two sons die, thousands of lives ruined, all because of his scam.

IMO it is an excellent story of karma coming back to bite. The problem is that it bites those who were innocent but caught in his web. I don't think he gave a fuck. I doubt Homero does either.

Robert De Niro is an excellent actor! Homero, not so much.

Gawsome!

From the folks I have talked to the bottom line is he is looking at 30-80 months.  There is a time period where the judge will take statements, etc, from victims.  It would be a good idea to make a statement if you are vulnerable especially.  Elderly, disabled, ill, etc would make great stories for the judge to get that number closer to 80 months.  Also get on the victims list.  I just got on it today.

The two LLCs were co-defendants in the case, along with Garza personally. So the default judgement is merely a reflection of the fact that the LLCs are essentially defunct. Garza is still on the hook.

This is the SEC civil case, so no jail here. That would be (hopefully) part of the FBI/DOJ plea deal in July.

One thing to keep in mind is that Garza scammed bitcoins, which now would be worth about 8x compared to late 2014. So even if he somehow comes up with the $10 million, either as part of the plea deal or in the SEC case, he's still screwing everyone over to the tune of $70m+.

In the back of my mind I wonder if he still has some out there in the block chain he hadn't spent.  Its like the pirate with buried treasure...we just need to find the map.  Hopefully they follow his banking transactions and his family's for a while after he is out of prison.

It would be a truly gawsome deal for him if he could pay back the $10m, do the time, and still come out filthy rich. However based on what we know about Garza he's not the "saver" type. He always spent way more than he could afford, what with the cars and the jet rentals and the domain names and the fake boobs. So most likely he's blown it all.

I mean, suppose he just kept 1 million at the time and never spent it, and left it on the blockchain.  That is 8 million today.  I also question how they allowed him to sell his $400,000 house with no repercussions.

Richard Dreyfuss also did an AMAZING "Bernie Madoff," with Blythe Danner doing a rare excellent turn as his effed-over wife:

I wonder how that works.  A judgement can be renewed indefinitely.  Do the Feds typically renew them?  I'm thinking 10 years is up after he gets out assuming he serves 80 months.  So they take 25% of his salary or whatever the state allows for the rest of his life until he pays back?  Do the proportionally pay me back at 10 cents a month lol?(I lost $1000).
