Rathnakishore Giri, also known as 'Ravi' Giri, is a 31-year-old Ohio investment manager convicted of wire fraud for orchestrating a Bitcoin-derivatives Ponzi scheme that raised over $10 million from at least 150 investors between 2019 and 2022. Operating through two entities — NBD Eidetic Capital, LLC and SR Private Equity, LLC — he falsely promised guaranteed, risk-free returns while using new investor funds to repay earlier ones and diverting proceeds to fund a lavish personal lifestyle. On May 18, 2026, he was sentenced to nine years in federal prison after an aggravating factor emerged: following his October 2024 guilty plea, and while on pretrial release, he continued soliciting new cryptocurrency investors, causing additional harm and prompting an amended plea agreement.
