50-year-old Joseph Abel pleaded guilty to two securities and tax-related offenses Thursday due to his involvement in promoting BitClub Network, a fraudulent investment scheme worth $722 million that purported to be a cryptocurrency mining pool.
Abel admitted to selling shares of the BitClub Networkâs purported mining pools without approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He also failed to report roughly $1 million in income that he received in exchange for his promotion of BitClub.
