In April 2022, the U.S. national Reginald Fowler pled guilty to bank fraud and the operation of an unlicensed money-transmitting business in connection with his Crypto Capital, a payment processor that provided fiat-currency banking services to various crypto exchanges through a series of bank accounts opened under false pretenses. Prosecutors asked the court to impose a sentence of at least 82 months prison time, a money judgment of $740 million, and a restitution of $53 million.
