The Department of Justice has indicted Aleksei Andriunin, founder and CEO of crypto financial services company Gotbit, on charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit market manipulation. Aleksei Andriunin, a Russian citizen living in Portugal, was arrested on October 16. Court documents show that Gotbit provided market manipulation services to create artificial trading volumes for multiple cryptocurrency companies, including those based in the United States, in order to get cryptocurrencies listed on CoinMarketCap. Gotbit made millions of dollars worth of fake transactions on behalf of customers and made tens of millions of dollars in gains through these fraudulent services. Andriunin transferred millions of dollars of Gotbit's gains into his personal Binance account.
