Crypto mogul known as 'The Godfather' used L.A. deputies for extortion, feds allege
Briefly

Adam Iza, the alleged mastermind of a cryptocurrency trading scheme, is accused of paying law enforcement officers to conduct unlawful searches and arrests for criminal activities.
With reports of Iza spilling money on luxury vehicles and lavish living, he allegedly orchestrated a million-dollar scheme that included tax evasion and corruption amidst law enforcement.
Authorities have indicated a broader investigation, as several deputies were relieved of duty, suggesting deep-rooted corruption tied to Iza's alleged actions.
Josef Sadat, Iza's attorney, emphasized that 'things aren't what they seem' and expressed confidence that the truth regarding his client's case would emerge soon.
