Las Vegas Businessman Convicted in $24 Million Crypto Investment Scheme
A Las Vegas businessman has been convicted by a federal jury of defrauding at least 400 investors out of $24 million through a crypto investment scheme called Profit Connect.
Profit Connect operated from late 2017 to July 2021 and claimed to use artificial intelligence software on a supercomputer to mine crypto and verify transactions.
Kovar owned the company, which falsely presented its AI technology as a legitimate way to generate profits for investors.
