That is seldom a day which goes by without any cryptocurrency related scams. In a recent incident a man from Phoenix, Arizona was arrested and sentenced for misusing cryptocurrencies.

Joseph Kim is a 24-year-old who worked as a trader at Consolidated Trading, LLC. He traded Bitcoin and Litecoin. The authorities said that Kim transferred $600,000 worth of cryptocurrencies into his own account back in the fall of 2017.
After being fired, Kim lost $545,000 worth of cryptocurrencies which were held on the behalf of five investors that included friends. These people had invested their retirement savings into cryptocurrencies.
In May 2018, Kim had entered a guilty plea to a wire fraud. The hearing that was conducted last Tuesday sentenced him to 15 months of prison time.
