Magdaleno Mendoza, a senior promoter in the IcomTech cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, was sentenced to 71 months in prison for defrauding U.S. investors. The scheme, which falsely marketed itself as a cryptocurrency market player, used new funds to pay earlier investors. Mendoza targeted Spanish-speaking working-class communities. IcomTech’s promoters spent investor money on luxury lifestyles. As the cryptocurrency market faces more scrutiny, altcoins to watch may include projects with transparent operations.
