A former CFO of a software company was convicted of fraud after embezzling $35 million to invest in Decentralized Finance and losing it all.
PANews, November 15 - According to Decrypt, Nevin Shetty, the former CFO of a software company in Washington State, was found guilty by a federal jury on four counts of telecommunications fraud for unlawfully transferring $35 million of company funds into his self-built encryption platform and investing in high-risk Decentralized Finance protocols. Shetty secretly moved company funds after learning he would be fired in 2022, initially making a profit of about $133,000, but his investments nearly dropped to zero after the Terra ecosystem collapsed in May 2022. He later admitted to his actions and was terminated by the company. Shetty is scheduled to be sentenced in February next year and could face up to 20 years in prison.
