Crypto Scam Arrested Again After Release From Jail

A man known for his role in a massive cryptocurrency heist has been arrested again in Florida on charges of fraud and possession of a concealed weapon. Nicholas Truglia, 25, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday. However, the circumstances of the case remain unclear.

Truglia was released from prison in January after serving for his role in a previous plot to steal more than $23 million in cryptocurrencies from investor Michael Terpin.

At last year’s criminal trial, it was revealed that Truglia has an estimated $53 million in assets, including art, jewelry, and cryptocurrency. She had agreed to pay Terpin more than $20 million in compensation.

Truglia also admitted that investor Rob Ross was involved in the high-profile SIM swap and took $1 million from his life savings in the hack. In addition, a criminal case is pending.
