UP on ImpactAlpha: Just over a year after the collapse of Fresno's Bitwise Industries, co-founders and co-CEOs Jake Soberal and Irma Olguin Jr. pleaded guilty in federal court to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The one-time impact darlings admitted to defrauding investors, lenders and others of as much as $115 million in what prosecutors described as a sprawling pattern of fraud. They face up to 40 years in prison and fines of up to $500,000. https://lnkd.in/ey9dWvya
