Alleged Cryptocurrency Fraudster Extradited From Thailand to Face Charges in Multi-Million Dollar Investment Scheme



A citizen of Sweden has been extradited from Thailand to the United States today to stand trial for alleged securities fraud, wire fraud and money laundering.

Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney David L. Anderson of the Northern District of California and Special Agent in Charge Kelly R. Jackson of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), Washington, D.C. Field Office made the announcement.

On July 25, 2019, a federal grand jury indicted Roger Nils-Jonas Karlsson, 45, and his company, Eastern Metal Securities (EMS), charging the defendants with engaging in a scheme to defraud victims of more than $11 million. Karlsson was arrested June 17, 2019, in Thailand.

According to a complaint filed March 4, 2019, in connection with the case, since September 2006, Karlsson, also known by several aliases, including Steve Heyden, Euclid Deodoris, Joshua Millard, Lars Georgsson, Paramon Larasoft and Kenth Westerberg, used websites to communicate false representations to victims in a scheme to defraud potential investors. For example, one website, Domain Seized, allegedly was registered to a fictitious person and advertised shares in a product called a “Pre Funded Reversed Pension Plan” (PFRPP). The indictment alleges Karlsson used the website to invite potential investors to purchase shares of the plan for $98 per share in exchange for an eventual payout of 1.15 kilograms of gold per share, even though as of Jan. 2, 2019, 1.15 kilograms of gold was worth more than $45,000.

Karlsson also allegedly advised investors that, in the unlikely event that the gold payout did not happen, he guaranteed to them 97 percent of the amount they invested. According to the complaint, the government found no evidence of any accounts held by Karlsson that would allow him to pay off the investors. Instead, the complaint alleges, the funds provided by victims were transferred to Karlsson’s personal bank accounts and now appear to be tied up in real estate in Thailand.

The complaint further describes how Karlsson allegedly used a second website, www.hci25.com, to make multiple false communications to potential investors. Karlsson allegedly brought the investors in HCI25 together with the investors in the PFRPP and posted multiple communications to delay the moment investors would realize there would be no payout. For example, on one occasion, Karlsson allegedly explained that a payout had not occurred because releasing so much money all at once could cause a negative effect on financial systems throughout the world. Karlsson also falsely represented that EMS was working with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to prepare the way for a payout.

The complaint alleges Karlsson directed his victims to make investments using virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin. Karlsson allegedly defrauded no less than 3,575 victims of more than $11 million.

Investors who lost $190m demand exhumation of cryptocurrency mogul
* Gerald Cotten, 30, died in ‘questionable circumstances’
* Canadian company founder took crucial password to the grave

Lawyers for customers of an insolvent cryptocurrency exchange have asked police to exhume the body of the company’s founder, amid efforts to recover about $190m in Bitcoin which were locked in an online black hole after his death.


Miller Thomson LLP sent a letter to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Friday, requesting authorities “conduct an exhumation and postmortem autopsy” on the body of Gerald Cotten, founder of QuadrigaCX, citing what the firm called the “questionable circumstances” around his death earlier this year.


Citing “decomposition concerns”, lawyers requested the exhumation be completed no later than spring 2020.


Gerald Cotten, 30, died abruptly in December 2018 of complications relating to Crohn’s disease while on honeymoon in Jaipur, India, with his wife, Jennifer Robertson. His body was repatriated to Canada and a funeral was held in Halifax, Nova Scotia.


Soon after his death, however, reports surfaced that nearly 80,000 users of QuadrigaCX – at the time Canada’s largest cryptocurrency exchange – were unable to access funds totalling more $190m.


Cotten was the only one with access to necessary permissions.

still in this scam, Baldrick? when will you learn

After my hack and emptied eth wallet I came to the conclusion they left the btc because it has stronger security than they could beat, which is why that's all I'm holding and won't be cashing in.

Margin calls?

No mention that half of the SET fell more than 8% in a few minutes...PTT group -25% to -30%.

oh no, how can that be?

it's a complete independent currency, with no influence from markets, and completely safe from markets manipulation and economic fluctuations, how can that be?

that thing should go back to its original value, that is 1 USD!!!

The original value was around $0.0008.

Somebody bought 2 pizzas from Papa John's for 10,000 BTC.
