Newport Beach男子为盗走2.63亿美元加密货币的犯罪集团洗钱，被判监禁70个月
2026年4月24日，在位于华盛顿特区的美国联邦地区法院，来自加利福尼亚州橙县 Newport Beach 的22岁男子 Evan Tangeman 被判处监禁70个月，另加3年监管释放。他为一个以社交工程手法盗走逾2.63亿美元加密货币的跨州犯罪集团洗钱。
Tangeman 已于2025年12月8日就参与敲诈勒索共谋（RICO 共谋）认罪，是这项调查中第九份认罪。他承认，自己为集团成员洗钱至少350万美元。
按检察官办公室的案情说明，这个集团最早在2023年10月成形，一直运作到2025年5月，成员多是经网络游戏结识的年轻人，不少人还不满20岁，分布在加利福尼亚、康涅狄格、纽约、佛罗里达及海外。他们以社交工程手法盗取受害人的加密货币，赃款被用来过奢华生活：单晚最高50万美元的夜总会消费、价值10万至380万美元的豪车车队，以及在洛杉矶、汉普顿与迈阿密租住的每月4万至8万美元的豪宅。
Tangeman 在集团中负责把盗来的加密货币兑换成现金，并为成员在洛杉矶联系租赁大宅；其后当集团成员在迈阿密活动时，也由他安排住所。集团最早落网的两名成员被捕后，Tangeman 又指使另一名同案被告销毁集团成员的电子设备。执法人员搜查他在 Newport Beach 的住所时，查获一辆价值逾30万美元的2022年劳斯莱斯 Ghost 与一辆保时捷 GT3 RS；集团此前还为他买过一辆兰博基尼 Urus。
案件由联邦调查局华盛顿外勤办公室与国税局刑事调查处调查，联邦检察官 Jeanine Ferris Pirro 宣布判刑，主审法官为 Colleen Kollar-Kotelly。

Newport Beach Man Sentenced to 70 Months for Laundering Proceeds of a $263 Million Cryptocurrency Theft Ring
On April 24, 2026, Evan Tangeman, 22, of Newport Beach in Orange County, California, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., to 70 months in prison plus three years of supervised release for laundering money for a multi-state criminal enterprise that stole more than $263 million in cryptocurrency through social engineering.
Tangeman pleaded guilty on December 8, 2025, to participating in a RICO conspiracy, the ninth plea to result from the investigation. He admitted helping to launder at least $3.5 million for members of the enterprise.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the enterprise formed by October 2023 and ran through at least May 2025, growing out of friendships made on online gaming platforms. Its members, many of them under 20, were based in California, Connecticut, New York, Florida, and abroad. Stolen virtual currency paid for nightclub services of up to $500,000 an evening, a fleet of exotic cars worth $100,000 to $3.8 million each, and rental homes in Los Angeles, the Hamptons, and Miami costing $40,000 to $80,000 a month.
Tangeman converted stolen cryptocurrency into cash and worked with Los Angeles real estate agents to procure mansions for the group, later arranging rental homes in Miami as well. After the first members of the enterprise were arrested, he directed a co-defendant to destroy digital devices belonging to members of the group. Agents searching his Newport Beach residence seized a 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost valued at more than $300,000 and a Porsche GT3 RS; the enterprise had earlier arranged the purchase of a Lamborghini Urus for him.
The case was investigated by the FBI's Washington Field Office and IRS Criminal Investigation. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro announced the sentence, imposed by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.
