Lawyer hopes Hashflare co-founders can 'self-deport' after sentencing
Hashflare co-founders, Potapenko and Turogin, pleaded guilty to wire fraud, defrauding users of over $550 million. They also failed to deliver on a promised digital bank, raising $25 million from investors. After extradition from Estonia, they were released on bail with travel restrictions. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued them "self-deport" letters, contradicting court-ordered bail conditions. This created a conflict, as staying in the US violated the DHS order, while leaving violated their bail. The DHS letters were part of a broader deportation effort, affecting thousands of immigrants and even some US citizens. Their lawyer seeks to resolve the conflicting directives, aiming for self-deportation to Estonia. The co-founders have already returned $400 million to users and forfeited assets. The lawyer argues that there was no actual financial harm to Hashflare customers. The case is unusual, with the defense requesting deportation despite potential prison sentences.
