Brasil Bitcoin co-owner alleges leadership split over ties to Danilo Dubaiano

  • —Crus owns 40% of Brasil Bitcoin, which has about 700,000 clients
  • —Dubaiano founded the D9 Club pyramid and is a fugitive in Brazil
  • —Partners signed a February 2026 deal barring ties to Dubaiano
  • —Crus filed a police complaint on October 7 and seeks a compliance review
Why it matters: The scandal over links to a pyramid scheme organizer poses reputational and regulatory risks for Brasil Bitcoin as Brazil's central bank tightens oversight.
