    tldr; A former CFO in Washington, Nevin Shetty, was sentenced to two years in prison for wire fraud after stealing $35 million from his employer to fund a crypto project. Shetty diverted the funds to his HighTower Treasury platform for high-yield DeFi lending, promising returns of 20% or more. However, market turmoil caused the investments to collapse, leaving the funds nearly worthless. Shetty was fired after confessing to executives and was later fined $35 million and barred from serving as an officer or director of any company without approval.
