Ex-girlfriend of crypto fraudster sentenced to 18 months for hiding $2.6M

  • Au pleaded guilty in March 2025 and received an 18-month prison sentence
  • She failed to report over $2.6 million in income from 2020 to 2023
  • The court ordered her to pay about $1.48 million in restitution
  • Iza bought roughly $16 million in crypto and spent nearly $10 million on luxury goods
Why it matters: The case highlights how cryptocurrencies are used to launder proceeds from ad fraud and underscores intensifying US tax enforcement.
