The CEO of a South African firm has been ordered by a federal US court in Texas to pay $3.4 billion for bitcoin fraud, making this the largest fraud case involving bitcoin to date. Cornelius Johannes Steynberg, who heads Mirror Trading International (MTI), was charged in July 2022 by the Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC) for operating a $1.7 billion bitcoin scam. He had reportedly told customers that his firm would help trade bitcoin, but instead misappropriated over 29,421 bitcoin worth $1.7 billion from more than 23,000 victims by the end of 2021. While Steynberg was charged with the $1.7 billion fraud in 2022, a federal judge recently ordered him to pay $3.4 billion, with $1.7 billion in restitution to victims and another $1.7 billion as a penalty.
