Today, the FBI announced that they had detained and filed charges against the co-founder of Blockparty, a blockchain event firm, on charges that he stole $1 million in cash and cryptocurrency from the company to spend on personal luxuries. On Wednesday, the DOJ made allegations that Rikesh Thapa, 28, who worked as Blockparty’s CTO from 2017 to 2019, took 10 Bitcoin from the firm and faked trade documents to mask his tracks.
Thapa is also accused of stealing a million dollars in cash. According to the DOJ, he consented to keep the funds in his own bank account while the firm explored other banking alternatives. Authorities claim that Thapa spent the money on himself after first refusing to return it.
