Deep Tide TechFlow message. On April 1, according to Cointelegraph, U.S. prosecutors have filed charges against 10 foreign citizens associated with four cryptocurrency market makers. Three executives have been extradited from Singapore to the United States and appeared in federal court in Oakland, California, on Monday of this week.

The three defendants who appeared were Vortex CEO Gleb Gora, Contrarian CEO Manu Singh, and Contrarian employee Vasu Sharma. The three were arrested in Singapore in October 2025 and extradited to the United States.

The companies involved include Gotbit, Vortex, Antier, and Contrarian, and the conduct dates back to 2018. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) accuses the companies of manufacturing false trading volumes through methods such as wash trading, paired orders, and premeditated trades, artificially propping up token prices, creating a false impression of liquidity boom, and luring retail investors to enter before insiders sold off.
