Ex-Girlfriend of ‘The Godfather’ Pleads Guilty to Tax Evasion in $16M Crypto Case

by

Ah, dear Iris Ramaya Au, a mere 35 summers young and already entangled in a web of financial mischief! This Irvine damsel, once the cherished companion of a self-styled cryptocurrency czar, affectionately dubbed “The Godfather,” has decided to embrace the warm embrace of guilt, all for the paltry sum of $2.6 million in unreported gains. How quaint! 😏

Our heroine now faces the delightful prospect of a single felony count for her audacious subscription to a false tax return. One can only imagine the thrill of her impending appearance in the hallowed halls of the United States District Court in Los Angeles. A true spectacle! 🎭

Fraud Investigation

According to the ever-watchful Department of Justice, her plea agreement reveals that her erstwhile beau, the illustrious Iza, orchestrated a veritable symphony of fraud from 2020 to 2024. His exploits included the rather cheeky acquisition of advertising accounts and credit lines from the likes of Facebook and Meta. One must applaud his entrepreneurial spirit, if not his moral compass! 💰

But wait, there’s more! Iza, in a stroke of genius, enlisted the help of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, directing them to procure search warrants and confidential information to settle personal scores. A true romantic, wouldn’t you agree? 💔

Under Iza’s charming tutelage, Au established a veritable menagerie of shell corporations, all to hide the fruits of their labor—approximately $1 million in cash to the deputies and a lifestyle that would make even the most extravagant peacock blush. Luxury real estate, high-end vehicles, and enough designer clothing to outfit a small army—what a life! 🦚

Au Faces 3 Years, Iza Faces 35

Our dear Iris is accused of facilitating the acquisition of a staggering $16 million in cryptocurrency for her beloved Iza. In her plea agreement, she confessed to transferring over $2.6 million into her personal coffers, all while blissfully ignoring the IRS. A classic case of “out of sight, out of mind!” 😅

If the fates are unkind, she may find herself behind bars for a maximum of three years. Meanwhile, her former paramour, Iza, has already pleaded guilty to a delightful array of charges and awaits his own sentencing, where he could face a staggering 35 years. One can only hope he has a good book to read while he contemplates his choices! 📚
