A wallet tied to the HashFlare crypto-mining Ponzi scheme moved $18.5M in assets for the first time in 3.5 years. The move comes as federal prosecutors appeal what they call a lenient sentence, seeking 10-year prison terms for the two Estonian operators behind the $577 million fraud that defrauded 440,000 investors worldwide.
HashFlare operated between 2015-2019 as a cloud-mining platform that sold contracts while lacking the actual computing power it advertised. Instead of mining, it showed fake dashboards to investors. The recent fund movement raises questions about whether authorities are preparing further legal action against the frozen assets.
