AFAIK the CEO was not in America when BitConnect scam got exposed. He was in India and managed to disappear. If found, he faces 70 years in prison. Arcaro was the second in command. That’s better than nothing.
He didn’t defraud the rich lol. The exchange was one of the most popular among cryptocurrency users. There are no minimum and no sign up fees. The number of people he defrauded is probably in the millions.
If anything, knowing crypto, the rich almost certainly had insider knowledge and withdrew their funds before everything collapsed.
Defraud rich people? Go to jail.
Defraud the rest of us? Get promoted to CEO.
That was his real crime. He stole rich people money. Where’s the CEO of bitconnect? Not in jail, I can tell you that.
Glenn Arcaro was sentenced to 38 months in September 2022
Arcaro was an American co-conspirator, not the CEO

Big investors into his company got burned too.

I believe the majority of investors into FTX were pretty much just regular people
