Crypto ‘godfather’ of Bel-Air: Probe widens into L.A. deputies’ alleged links to mogul

  • Federal authorities accuse Adam Iza, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur, of financial conspiracies and extortion.
  • Prosecutors allege Iza used L.A. County sheriff’s deputies to carry out his criminal bidding.
  • Iza has pleaded not guilty. A judge ordered him jailed despite claims that he needs medical care after a cosmetic leg-lengthening procedure.

If you want a deeper dive, check out the TrueAnon episode series Zort a three-parts-and-counting plunge into the seedy underbelly of Cryptocoin scams, extortion, leg-lengthening surgery, LASD rampant corruption, and age-gap discourse.
