Pablo Rodriguez, co-founder of the AirBit Club cryptocurrency pyramid scheme, received a 12-year prison sentence after admitting guilt to wire fraud conspiracy charges in a US District Court in March. He and his accomplices were charged with running a worldwide scam, deceiving investors with fake promises of cryptocurrency wealth, diverting their investments for personal benefit, and providing excuses when confronted with withdrawal demands. Additionally, Judge George B. Daniels mandated an additional three years of supervised release following Rodriguez's 12-year prison term.
