⚡️🚨 NEW - Gotbit Consulting LLC and its founder Aleksei Andriunin pleaded guilty Friday to U.S. charges of market manipulation and wire fraud. From 2018 to 2024, the firm used “wash trading” to inflate token volumes and help clients get listed on major exchanges.

Andriunin, a 26-year-old Russian national, was extradited from Portugal last month after his October arrest in “Operation Token Mirrors,” an FBI sting that used a fake digital token to uncover the scheme.
