Source summary
Yaroslav Shilkloper, a 49-year-old dual Ukrainian-Israeli national, pleaded guilty to wire fraud for his role in a fake brokerage scheme that defrauded U.S. investors of at least $2.8 million. The scheme used sham companies (K6 Investing, Neotron Holding, LTD, and Goldex Technology) and a fake digital trading platform to launder funds through bank accounts in multiple countries. Shilkloper was extradited from Poland, has forfeited nearly $2.8 million returned to victims, and faces a potential sentence that includes a $250,000 fine, at least $800,000 in restitution, and up to four years in prison. HSI investigated the case and prosecutors from the Criminal Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Mississippi are handling prosecution.
