According to Cointelegraph, U.S. prosecutors have filed lawsuits against 10 foreign nationals associated with four cryptocurrency market makers. Three executives have been extradited from Singapore to the U.S. and appeared in federal court in Oakland, California, this Monday.
The three defendants appearing in court are Gleb Gora, CEO of Vortex; Manu Singh, CEO of Contrarian; and Vasu Sharma, an employee of Contrarian. They were extradited to the U.S. after being arrested in Singapore in October 2025.
The companies involved include Gotbit, Vortex, Antier, and Contrarian, with related activities dating back to 2018. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) accuses these companies of creating false trading volumes through wash trading, matched orders, and prearranged trading, artificially inflating token prices, creating a false sense of liquidity, and attracting retail investors before insiders sold their holdings.
