Joe Hingston acted for Ross Jay and Richard Furlong acted for Michael Freckleton, who were both convicted of conspiracy to defraud at the five-week trial.
The defendants engaged in cold-calling to promote shares in a cryptocurrency named “Telecoin,” allegedly linked to Digi Ex, a company they operated.
Telecoin did not exist, and no efforts were made to invest in the digital world, instead they paid themselves large salaries.

Ross Jay was sentenced to six years and three months in prison, while Michael Freckleton was sentenced to six and a half years.
Richard and Joe were instructed by Berkeley Square Solicitors.
