A London man, Ajay Shinjin (aka AJ Marley Cruz), was sentenced to 2.5 years for his role in a SIM‑swap scheme that resulted in roughly $260,000 in cryptocurrency theft from multiple victims in November 2021. Criminals transferred victims' phone numbers to SIMs/eSIMs to intercept one‑time passcodes and access crypto and bank accounts; telecom logs helped investigators trace activity to devices linked to Shinjin, who was arrested, charged, and convicted.
