That was his real crime. He stole rich people money. Where's the CEO of bitconnect? Not in jail, I can tell you that.

Glenn Arcaro was sentenced to 38 months in September 2022

Arcaro was an American co-conspirator, not the CEO

AFAIK the CEO was not in America when BitConnect scam got exposed. He was in India and managed to disappear. If found, he faces 70 years in prison. Arcaro was the second in command. That's better than nothing.
