2 days ago

On March 16th, as reported by News.bitcoin, a federal jury in San Francisco found Rowland Marcus Andrade, the founder and CEO of AML Bitcoin, guilty of telecommunications fraud and money laundering. Andrade is scheduled to be sentenced on July 22, 2025. He could face a maximum of 20 years in prison for telecommunications fraud, up to 10 years in prison for money laundering, and the seizure of assets related to his crimes. Based on the evidence presented during the trial, 47-year-old Andrade from Texas misappropriated more than $2 million from AML Bitcoin sales for personal use, such as purchasing two properties in Texas and two luxury cars. He laundered investors' funds through various bank accounts and then used these funds to finance his own purchases. The jury determined that Andrade falsely claimed that AML Bitcoin was about to obtain approval from the Panama Canal Authority, when in fact, no such agreement existed. Through these false statements, he raised millions of dollars from investors.
