In a recent federal court hearing, 52-year-old Shan Hanes, former CEO of Heartland Tri-State Bank in Elkhart, pleaded guilty to embezzling $47.1 million from the bank, causing its collapse. Hanes transferred the funds to cryptocurrency accounts controlled by third parties while the bank was insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

The United States Department of Justice has accused Hanes of facing up to 30 years in prison. In response to the evidence presented during the trial, U.S. Attorney Kate E. Brubacher condemned Hanes as a liar who caused financial losses to investors. 
The failure of Heartland Tri-State Bank saw shareholders lose all their investments, with some investors possibly unable to reclaim their deposits fully. Hanes is set to be sentenced on the 8th of August, 2024, when the court will decide the severity of the punishment for organizing embezzlement and its subsequent concealment.

Operating under the guise of a successful cryptocurrency trader, Igbara defrauded individuals, primarily from the Muslim community, of $10 million through his Instagram account.
