Crypto Fraudster Nicholas Truglia Sentenced to 12 Years After Failing to Repay $20 Million Restitution in $22 Million Bitcoin Theft

Nicholas Truglia, a convicted cryptocurrency fraudster involved in a $22 million bitcoin theft, has had his prison sentence increased from 18 months to 12 years. The Manhattan federal judge imposed the extended sentence after Truglia failed to repay $20 million in restitution to the entrepreneur he defrauded. This resentencing reflects the court's response to his refusal to compensate the victim despite admitting to the theft. Separately, a 19-year-old named Matthew Lane was identified for hacking two major companies and demanding millions in Bitcoin, which he spent on luxury goods. Additionally, a former Massachusetts firefighter was sentenced to prison for stealing the identity of a deceased 13-year-old, though details on that case remain limited.
