Along with the nine-year sentence, Rathnakishore Giri, 31, of New Albany, received three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud in October 2024.
Per the Ohio Office of Public Affairs, Giri continued the fraud after his admission of guilt. While on pretrial release awaiting sentencing, he solicited funds from new cryptocurrency investors, causing "additional harm to new victims" even as federal prosecutors prepared for his sentencing hearing.
