Malone Lam, a 22-year-old Singaporean, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) conspiracy over a cryptocurrency scheme that prosecutors say stole more than $245 million in Bitcoin from a Washington DC resident.
The proceeds were spent on luxury cars, a $2 million watch, private jets and nightclub bills, including more than $569,000 Lam ran up in a single night at a Los Angeles club.
