Ex-girlfriend of crypto ‘Godfather’ pleads guilty to $2.6M tax charge
Meet Iris Ramaya Au, the former girlfriend of Adam Iza, also known as the crypto “Godfather.” While their relationship may have ended, their connection has resurfaced in a surprising way. Au has recently admitted to failing to report over $2.6 million that she gained from her ex-boyfriend’s illegal activities.
For those unfamiliar with the story, Adam Iza was a prominent figure in the world of cryptocurrency, known for his lavish lifestyle and extravagant spending. However, his wealth was not entirely legitimate. Iza was involved in a massive crypto scam that defrauded investors of millions of dollars.
As his girlfriend at the time, Au was well aware of Iza’s illegal activities and even benefited from them. She received a significant amount of money from Iza, but failed to report it to the authorities. This has now come back to haunt her, as she has been charged with aiding and abetting Iza’s crimes.
It’s a cautionary tale of how greed and love can cloud one’s judgment. Au may have been blinded by the luxurious lifestyle that Iza provided her, but she is now facing serious consequences for her actions. Her failure to report the money she received not only enabled Iza’s crimes to continue, but it also makes her an accomplice.
This case serves as a reminder that no one is above the law, and that includes those involved in the world of cryptocurrency. While it may seem like a lucrative and exciting industry, it is not immune to illegal activities and those who participate in them will face the consequences.
As for Au, she is now facing up to five years in prison and a hefty fine for her involvement in Iza’s crimes. It’s a harsh lesson to learn, but hopefully, it will serve as a warning to others who may be tempted to turn a blind eye to illegal activities for personal gain.
