Brendan Gunn, the brother of Olympic breakdancer Rachel ‘Raygun’ Gunn, is facing one charge of dealing with proceeds of crime valued at $181,000 for his involvement in a 2020 crypto investing scheme.
ASIC alleges Gunn, working through a company he directed known as Mormarkets Pty Ltd, told investors the company would convert their money into cryptocurrencies and other ‘investing opportunities’.
Gunn continuously opened new bank accounts to facilitate these transactions despite many of the accounts being closed by banks due to scam concerns.
The charge against Gunn comes amid a crackdown by Australian financial regulators, including ASIC and AUSTRAC, against dodgy crypto businesses and scams targeting crypto investors.
