Antonije Stojiljkovic and Jaira David have pled guilty to charges related to Krisitijan Krstic’s Ponzi empire. Stojiljkovic’s plea agreement was filed on November 23rd. David’s on November 29th.
Due to the complex nature of the case, the Bitcoiin criminal trial has been pushed back to March 14th, 2022.
Well that didn’t take long. Just two weeks after being let out of custody, Kristijan Krstic and his wife have violated their release conditions and fled.
After pleading not guilty to four counts of Bitcoiin related fraud in April, a few days ago DeMarr entered a change of plea.
Kristijan Krstic, head of a Ponzi empire that allegedly bilked consumers out of $70 million, has been released from custody. Pending a decision from the European Court of Human Rights, Krstic will remain under house arrest till August 16th.
Apparently getting sent to prison for running Ponzi scams is a violation of human rights. Or so Krstijan Krstic’s lawyers in Serbia would have you believe.
A sixteenth defendant has been added to the DOJ’s Kristijan Krstic Ponzi empire fraud case. Jaira David, aka Jenny Liu, Kate Muller and Alice Newtown, was indicted under seal on March 4th, 2020.
The Serbian Court of Appeals has rejected Krstijan Krstic’s appeal against extradition to the US. US authorities are now one step closer to extraditing Krstic to the US, where he is facing criminal and civil charges related to fraud.
As part of Bitcoiin criminal proceedings, hundreds of electronic devices seized in Serbia have been turned over to the FBI in Texas. Data stored on the devices is still being processed, resulting in a request to continue the trials of defendants Haojia Miao and Antonije Stojiljkovic.
