BlockBeats News, May 23rd. According to Cointelegraph, a man in the United States has been sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to surrender millions of dollars for operating a so-called "no questions asked" cash-to-bitcoin exchange service.
Boston Federal Court Judge Richard Stearns announced on May 22nd that Trung Nguyen from Danvers, Massachusetts, was sentenced to six years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and was ordered to forfeit $1.5 million in assets.
The prosecution stated that Nguyen operated an unlicensed money transfer business called National Vending from September 2017 to October 2020, using various methods he learned in an online course to evade regulation. Nguyen learned how to conceal his true business from banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, and state regulators, such as posing as a cash-accepting vending machine company, fabricating a fictitious vendor list, and avoiding the use of the term "bitcoin" as much as possible.
