Raymondip Bedi and Patrick Mavanga, the dynamic duo of digital deception, have been sentenced to over five and six years in the slammer, respectively. Why, you ask? Well, they pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud and money laundering, of course!
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) revealed that between 2017 and 2019, these two rascals cold-called potential investors and lured them into a phony digital asset platform. The website promised high returns, backed by fake charts and fabricated trading activity—but no crypto was ever bought or sold. Instead, funds were funneled into shell companies under their control.
Victims were misled with promises of risk-free profits, some being told they could earn 10% returns monthly. One investor lost as much as £200,000, with others contributing thousands under false pretenses. Mavanga also admitted to using false identity documents.
“This case should serve as a warning,” said Steve Smart, the FCA’s joint enforcement chief. “Fraud doesn’t pay, and we’re watching the crypto space closely.”
The FCA continues to urge the public to be wary of unsolicited investment calls, reminding consumers to verify firms on its official register and avoid anyone offering guaranteed profits.
So, dear readers, remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! And if someone promises you easy profits in the world of crypto, run for the hills! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
