Jicha vanished from a detention center where he was held pending trial for orchestrating a crypto investment fraud through the platform USI Tech. His escape has sparked significant public attention and concern over how such a high-profile figure managed to evade custody.
Jicha’s fraudulent scheme promised substantial returns through Bitcoin mining and trading activities, but the majority of the funds were never invested as advertised. Instead, they were used to pay earlier investors and support Jicha’s lavish lifestyle, following the classic Ponzi scheme structure. This scam left thousands of investors with severe financial losses.
Authorities are intensifying efforts to recapture Jicha, fearing he may have already fled the country using cryptocurrency to conceal his movements. The U.S. Department of Justice is coordinating with international law enforcement agencies, issuing red alerts and tracking potential offshore activities.

Legal experts warn that high-profile escapes like Jicha’s undermine public trust in the financial system and call for stricter oversight within the crypto sector.
