Jeremy Jordan-Jones, founder of defunct crypto startup Amalgam, faces fraud charges for allegedly operating a fictitious blockchain operation. Prosecutors claim he fabricated partnerships with major sports teams and restaurant chains to solicit over $1 million from investors.

The funds were purportedly diverted to finance personal luxuries rather than developing the promised point-of-sale payment systems. No actual blockchain infrastructure existed despite claims of partnerships with the Golden State Warriors and a Premier League soccer club.
