Mining Capital Coin CEO indicted by DOJ over crypto fraud
The CEO of Mining Capital Coin, a purported cryptocurrency mining and investment platform, Luiz Capuci Jr., 44, of Port St. Lucie, Florida, has been indicted by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) "for allegedly orchestrating a $62 million global investment fraud scheme," as per the official filing from the authority.
Mining Capital Coin CEO indiction
The DOJ has been working hard to save investors from cryptocurrency frauds and scams, and it seems that, to some extent, success is being achieved. In its recent indictment of Capuci, the financial authority charged the founder of Mining Capital Coin with misleading investors about the firm's cryptocurrency mining and investment program."This office is committed to protecting consumers from unscrupulous fraudsters seeking to capitalize on the relative novelty of digital currency," said U.S. Attorney Juan Antonio Gonzalez for the Southern District of Florida. "As with any emerging market, those who invest in cryptocurrency must beware of profit-making opportunities that appear too good to be true."Mining Capital Coin had an investment scheme running where users could invest in MCC by purchasing "Mining Packages." Under this scheme, the team headed by Capuci guaranteed substantial yields to investors imbursed with the help of substantial profits generated from mining new cryptocurrency using the investors' money.
Creation of a DAO?
Furthermore, the CEO confirmed the creation of Capital Coin, a cryptocurrency followed by a decentralized autonomous organization or DAO, which was "stabilized by revenue from the biggest cryptocurrency mining operation in the world." Such big words failed when it came to action as Mining Capital Coin turned out to be a scheme of false promises. As per the DOJ, Capuci directed the funds to his own wallet instead of mining cryptocurrencies."The department is committed to following the money — whether physical or digital — to expose criminal schemes, hold these fraudsters accountable, and protect investors," said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite, Jr. of the Justice Department's Criminal Division.Capuci is also alleged to have recruited promoters and affiliates to promote MCC and its fraudulent scheme via a multi-level marketing scheme, or a pyramid scheme.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
