Crypto 'Godfather' Gets Six Years for Hiring Sheriff's Deputies, $37M Meta Fraud

What happened: Adam Iza, 26, was sentenced to 78 months for hiring off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies to harass and track people he was in disputes with, stealing over $37 million from Meta, and evading tax. Why it matters: The term runs concurrent to his 15-year Connecticut sentence, so it adds no time. Prosecutors said people with money cannot buy warrants, arrests, badges, or firearms for private disputes.
