ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, Gotbit founder Aleksei Andriunin has reached a plea agreement with U.S. authorities to forfeit $23 million in crypto assets related to market manipulation charges.

The total amount of assets subject to civil forfeiture is $23 million, including stablecoins issued by Tether and Circle, held in four wallets "fully controlled" by Andriunin. Court documents indicate that Andriunin will be subject to three years of supervised release, during which he is strictly prohibited from engaging in any crypto activities.Previously, in November last year, it was reported that the U.S. Department of Justice charged Gotbit's CEO with orchestrating a large-scale scheme of false trading.
