Pastor indicted for fraud over crypto scheme that came ‘in a dream’
Washington pastor Francier Obando Pinillo was charged with 26 counts of fraud and could spend up to 20 years behind bars.
A Washington state grand jury has indicted a pastor on 26 counts of fraud for allegedly stealing from more than 1,500 investors through the sham crypto scheme Solano Fi — which supposedly came to him “in a dream.”
The Justice Department said on Jan. 9 that Francier Obando Pinillo was arraigned at a federal court in Washington for allegedly using his position as a pastor to induce members of his congregation into a crypto scheme called Solano Fi.
“Pinillo claimed the idea for Solano Fi had come to him in a dream and that it was a safe and guaranteed investment,” it added.
