Zwei Männer, die bereits seit über einem Jahrzehnt in Haft sind, stehen nun wegen eines Kryptowährungsbetrugs in Höhe von 1,5 Millionen £ vor zusätzlicher Haftzeit, falls sie nicht zahlen. Hier ist, was die FCA tatsächlich durchgesetzt hat – und was das nicht bedeutet. Die britische Financial Conduct Authority erwirkte am 28. September am Southwark Crown Court Einziehungsanordnungen im Wert von 851.402 £ gegen Raymondip Bedi und Patrick Mavanga, nachdem sie wegen eines Anlagebetrugs mit Kryptowährungen in Höhe von 1,54 Millionen £ verurteilt worden waren, der mindestens 65 Opfer traf. WICHTIGE FAKTEN ▪️ Bedi wurde angewiesen, 603.404,28 £ und Mavanga 247.997,99 £ zu zahlen – zusammen etwa 55 % der 1,54 Millionen £, die verloren gingen.

Two men already serving over a decade combined for a £1.5 million crypto scam now face additional prison time if they don't pay up. Here's what the FCA actually secured, and what it doesn't mean.
The UK's Financial Conduct Authority secured confiscation orders worth £851,402 against Raymondip Bedi and Patrick Mavanga at Southwark Crown Court on September 28, following their conviction for a £1.54 million crypto investment fraud that hit at least 65 victims.
KEY FACTS
▪️ Bedi was ordered to pay £603,404.28 and Mavanga £247,997.99, together covering about 55% of the £1.54 million lost.
▪️ Between February 2017 and June 2019, the pair cold-called consumers and steered them into fake crypto investments through entities including CCX Capital and Astaria Group.
▪️ Both were already sentenced in July 2025: Bedi to 5 years 4 months, Mavanga to 6 years 6 months. The sentencing judge said they had "conspired to drive a coach and horses through the regulatory system."
▪️ The confiscation was ordered under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, separate from the original criminal sentences.
▪️ Both men have three months to pay. If they don't, Bedi faces up to 5 additional years in prison and Mavanga up to 2.
WHY THIS MATTERS
This isn't a new regulatory crackdown or a shift in crypto policy — it's the financial follow-through on a case that was already settled in criminal court over a year ago. What makes it worth noting is the mechanism: UK authorities can keep pursuing stolen funds long after a prison sentence is served, using the threat of more prison time as leverage to actually collect. For victims of any investment scam, that's a meaningful, concrete precedent, separate from whether the money is ever fully recovered.
WHAT TO WATCH
▪️ Whether Bedi and Mavanga pay within the three-month window
▪️ How much of the £851,402 victims actually receive, since a confiscation order isn't the same as money in hand
▪️ Whether the FCA's broader crypto-enforcement activity (it's been notably active in this space through late 2026) produces similar recoveries elsewhere
BOTTOM LINE
An unsolicited call or a slick site promising guaranteed crypto returns is a red flag every time. This case shows regulators can, and will, keep chasing the money for years after the conviction.
Does the threat of extra prison time for non-payment actually work as a deterrent, or does it just delay the inevitable write-off for victims? Share your view below.
