Ex-JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank Employee Charged With Crypto Fraud

Hey there,


I hope your week went well. It seems there has been quite a stir in the Crypto world recently. There has been news about a former Deutsche Bank investment banker and crypto fraud that has been all over the headlines.

Rashawn Russell, a 27-year-old registered broker, has been arrested for allegedly conning several investors into believing that their money would generate significant returns with altcoins. Altcoins are digital assets that differ from Bitcoin.


It's a sad story that Russell convinced investors to give him their money by promising them high returns. Unfortunately, instead of investing the funds as promised, he used them for personal gain, gambling, and to repay other investors. Even worse, he allegedly fabricated documents to show investors that he was making a profit.

I hope the situation gets resolved soon and that investors affected by this unfortunate turn of events are able to recover their losses.


However, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of New York indictment reads, “At times, he also claimed he had developed a successful strategy to trade ‘altcoin’ cryptocurrencies and that he had earned returns for investors in excess of 100% over previous three-month periods.”



Russell's LinkedIn page shows that he had worked at JP Morgan and Moody's before landing a job at Deutsche Bank. It's crazy to think that someone with such an impressive resume would be involved in such a scam.


Breon Peace, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said, “As alleged, Russell turned the demand for cryptocurrency investments into a scheme to defraud numerous investors in order to fund his lifestyle. This Office will continue to aggressively pursue fraudsters perpetrating these schemes against investors in the digital asset markets.”


It just goes to show that you always have to be careful when investing your money, especially when it comes to cryptocurrencies. What do you think about this crazy story?
