Iris Rabaya Au, a 37-year-old Irvine, California, resident, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison after pleading guilty in March 2025 to filing a false tax return that omitted more than $2.6 million in illegal income. Prosecutors said Au, the former girlfriend of Adam Iza, moved money into personal bank accounts from 2020 through 2023 without reporting it to the IRS, created shell companies, and opened accounts at Iza's direction. They alleged she used about $16 million in illicit funds to buy cryptocurrency for Iza. U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson also ordered $1.48 million in restitution and the forfeiture of vehicles, designer handbags, three Godfather sculptures and other assets. Iza, who has been in federal custody since September 2024, faces sentencing in Los Angeles on October 5 after pleading guilty to conspiracy against rights, wire fraud and tax evasion in January 2025. He separately received a 15-year Connecticut sentence for helping plan an unsuccessful Bitcoin robbery and abduction in Danbury in August 2024.
