Kevin Spacey’s Comeback Film Linked to $340M Crypto Ponzi Scheme
Vladimir Okhotnikov, co-writer and star of Kevin Spacey's new film "Holiguards Saga — The Portal of Force," faces wire fraud charges for allegedly orchestrating a $340 million DeFi Ponzi scheme through Forsage. U.S. authorities compare the operation to classic investment frauds masked by crypto jargon.
The SEC previously charged Okhotnikov and 10 others in 2022 for running the Forsage platform, which allegedly paid early investors with funds from new recruits. Despite dismissal attempts, the case underscores persistent regulatory scrutiny of crypto investment schemes.
