Serial MLM crypto scammer Nicholas Coppola has received a two year suspended prison sentence.

Following victim complaints that prompted an investigation, authorities allege Coppola defrauded eighteen investors out of €400,000 EUR.

Following his arrest last December in Italy, Coppola’s trial was scheduled for October 2025.

On October 10th Coppola (29, right) was handed down a two year suspended sentence. He will also pay back €140,000 EUR in restitution to three victims.

Coppola’s reduced sentence comes largely down to opting for a summary trial, wherein proceedings take place based on submitted evidence, the contents of which are not disputed.

A summary trial thus differs from a a full-blown trial with jurors, preserving judicial efficiency.

It’s pretty close to a guilty plea but there’s still a chance the defendant might be found not guilty based on submitted evidence.

With respect to Coppola’s remaining fifteen victims, Corriere del Venteo reports;

There are 15 other people who have not joined the trial as civil plaintiffs, but some of them, represented by the lawyer Matteo Moschini, intend to reach a settlement with Coppola, who is still under investigation in other investment matters.

These are carbon-copy investigations, launched later after complaints from other investors.

BehindMLM came across Coppola as an insider of the collapsed Meta Utopia Ponzi scheme in 2022.

Coppola’s attempts to hide his association with Meta Utopia earned him a spot on BehindMLM’s DMCA Wall of Shame.

Post MLM crypto scamming, Coppola is reported to have become a father and be “no longer very active on social media”.
