Bitcoin Pharaoh: delegate and 3 PMs arrested for facilitating R$38 bi scheme

The plot involving Glaidson Acácio dos Santos, the famous “Pharaoh of Bitcoin”, has taken a new chapter. This time, those who fell on-chain were people from within: a delegate and three military police officers were doomed for facilitating the criminal operations of GAS Consultoria Bitcoin.

Numbers speak for themselves

We are talking about a hole of R$38 billion moved illegally. 300 thousand victims lost money believing in returns of 10% per month on crypto investments that never materialized.

The irony? Daniela dos Santos Rebelo Pinto (delegate), Roberto Nogueira Alves, Marcelo Meireles Pinto and Raphael Vasques Jorge Macedo worked in the Fraud Division (DDEF). In other words, the guys who were supposed to fight crime were part of it. Each received a sentence of 2 years and 8 months in prison.

The trajectory of the Pharaoh

In 2014, Glaidson was a waiter in Búzios earning R$800 per month. Seven years later? A millionaire moving billions. GAS Consulting promised astronomical returns in the crypto market, but the Federal discovered it was all smoke—no real investment was happening.

Imprisoned since 2021, Glaidson remains imprisoned while the MPRJ-RJ celebrates the doom of the corporation's accomplices.

Hollywood calling?

ANCINE (National Film Agency) is already producing a documentary about the saga of the Pharaoh. It seems that Glaidson has become a celebrity—but for the wrong reasons.
