In hundreds of pages of documents obtained by The Associated Press, federal and state police and prosecutors accuse dos Santos and his associates of running a sophisticated racket defrauding thousands of small-scale investors who believed they were getting rich off Bitcoin´s steep appreciation. He is now in a Rio jail awaiting trial on charges including racketeering, financial crimes and ordering the murder and attempted murder of two business competitors.

He remains under investigation in the attempted murder of a third competitor.

In recent times, the number of cryptocurrencies is drastically increasing, so there will always have a demand for cryptocurrencies and listing them in the crypto exchanges.

For listing those cryptocurrencies, a fee amount is required, which is what we call listing fees.

That year his company´s transactions totaled nearly 10 million reais ($1.8 million), 15 times higher than the previous year as money siphoned in and out of his bank accounts from all over Brazil, according to a federal police report.

The country´s financial intelligence unit also noticed the company – at the time registered as a restaurant – was regularly trading cryptocurrency on online exchange platforms. By 2017, dos Santos was starting to make serious money – and attract authorities’ attention.
