In August 2021, LASD deputies allegedly held a victim at gunpoint at Iza’s residence, forcing a $25,000 bank transfer. In October 2021, Iza personally coerced another victim into transferring $127,000 while holding them at gunpoint.

Saavedra also operated a private security firm, Saavedra & Associates LLC, which employed off-duty deputies. Iza reportedly paid $100,000 monthly between 2021 and 2024 for round-the-clock security.

Beyond the alleged extortion racket, Iza’s operations extended to financial fraud. Between 2020 and 2022, he is accused of defrauding Meta Platforms Inc., stealing over $37 million by accessing business accounts and associated credit lines.

Web3 has the potential to transform everyday life and is developing rapidly, but in its current form, it is at risk of abuse by a small number of malicious creators. We must proceed cautiously to protect Web3 and ensure it delivers on the promise of decentralized finance and decentralized governance.

Celsius claimed FTX officers made “unsubstantiated and disparaging statements” about the firm’s balance sheet and financial condition in its first claim and then claimed $444 million in transfers to FTX entities should be returned to the bankruptcy estate in its amended claim.

The global average internet penetration is approximately 67.5%, while digitalization has happened at lightspeed in the European Union, where 93.1% of households are connected to the internet. Far from slowing down, this trend seems to be picking up at pace and is now evolving toward its next milestone: Web3.
