A former partner of a cryptocurrency fraud defendant known as "The Godfather" is set to be sentenced for not reporting over $2.6 million she received through her ex-partner’s criminal activities. Iris Ramaya Au, 36, of Irvine, pleaded guilty in March 2025 in a Los Angeles federal court to filing a false tax return. Her guilty plea revealed that between 2020 and 2024, her ex-boyfriend, Adam Iza, was involved in a range of criminal acts, including fraudulently obtaining access to credit lines and advertising accounts from Facebook Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc., then selling access to those accounts. Iza made millions of dollars through this scheme without reporting the income. Adam Iza, 26, previously from Beverly Hills and Newport Beach, pleaded guilty in January 2025 to charges including conspiracy, wire fraud, and tax evasion. He is scheduled to be sentenced next month in downtown Los Angeles. Iza is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence for his role in an August 2024 attempted Bitcoin heist and kidnapping in Connecticut. According to court documents, Au followed Iza’s instructions to create shell companies and open bank accounts under those entities. She then used the illegal funds from those accounts to pay about $1 million to former Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies whom Iza had bribed. Prosecutors stated that the illicit money was also used to purchase luxury real estate, cars, jewelry, and clothing, as well as nearly $10 million in recreational activities for both Au and Iza. An additional $16 million was used to buy cryptocurrency for Iza. In her plea agreement, Au admitted to transferring over $2.6 million from the company accounts into her personal bank accounts between 2020 and 2023, without declaring the income on her tax returns. Federal prosecutors are seeking up to three years in prison for Au at her upcoming sentencing hearing.
