Miami Trio Charged With Defrauding Banks and Crypto Exchange of Over $4M

Authorities arrested Esteban Cabrera Da Corte, Luis Hernandez Gonzalez and Asdrubal Ramirez Meza on Tuesday, alleging the group used stolen identities to purchase millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrencies on a “Cryptocurrency Exchange” in 2020. The purchases were funded with bank transfers; after buying the crypto, the men disputed the transactions with the banks, tricking them into reversing the transfers and redepositing the money into accounts controlled by the crime ring.
