Summary
Taj Tarsha, 34, founder of NFT marketplace startup Few and Far Limited, was indicted on August 5, 2026 by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York on one count of securities fraud and one count of wire fraud. Prosecutors allege he raised over $10 million from at least 67 investors in 2022 via Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs) for 95 million FAR tokens, then allegedly misappropriated the funds for personal use including online casino gambling, speculative crypto purchases, and DJ-related expenses, rather than building the promised NFT marketplace. The case is pending before U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan; no conviction has been entered and Tarsha's defense denies fraudulent intent.
