According to the DoJ&#8217;s complaint, the alleged rug pull was the work of the pair, who tried to disappear with roughly $1.1 million, abandoning the project without notice.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>The funds were transferred out to different cryptocurrency wallets. Law enforcement says that there were attempts to launder the cryptocurrency by &#8216;washing&#8217; it through numerous stealth transactions.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, $1.1 million might not have been enough for the alleged scam artists. Nguyen and Llacuna were also advertising a second NFT project called &#8220;Embers,&#8221; due to mint this Saturday, before their arrests in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n<p>The DoJ claims that Embers could have generated as much as $1.5 million in cryptocurrency if it was also an apparent rug pull.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>If the pair are found guilty, they face maximum sentences of 20 years in prison for both conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NFTs represent a new era for financial investments, but the same rules apply to an investment in an NFT or a real estate development,&#8221; commented IRS-CI Special Agent-in-Charge Thomas Fattorusso. &#8220;You can&#8217;t solicit funds for a business opportunity, abandon that business and abscond with money investors provided you.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><strong>See also<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Have a tip?<\/strong> Get in touch securely via WhatsApp | Signal at +447713 025 499, or over at
