Braiscompany founder Inacio Da Silva Neto and his wife Farias Campos have been arrested in Argentina for running an alleged cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme. It caused $400 million in damage to investors from Brazil, writes Metaverse Post.
In 2023, Interpol issued an arrest warrant for Da Silva Neto on charges of money laundering and crimes against the financial system and the capital market.
In February, the couple was convicted in absentia. The founder of Braiscompany was sentenced to 88 years and seven months, while Farias Campos was sentenced to 61 years and eleven months.
This was preceded by an investigation of purchases and payments made by spouses in Argentina using false names.
They are currently in custody and awaiting an extradition order to Brazil for trial and remand in custody.
The publication recalled that an unnamed person previously associated with the Braiscompany case was also extradited from Argentina to Brazil. He was suspected of working as a liaison between the organization and other legal entities.
Recall that in 2023, Binance was suspected of assisting the Ever Operations and Investments and Braiscompany pyramids in moving their assets.
