How scoring works →Summary
Taj Tarsha, 34, is the founder of Few and Far Limited, a British Virgin Islands company that raised more than $10 million from at least 67 investors through SAFT agreements for its FAR token, promising an NFT marketplace on the NEAR Protocol. On August 5, 2026, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced an indictment charging Tarsha with one count of securities fraud and one count of wire fraud. Prosecutors allege he spent investor funds on online gambling, speculative crypto trading, a Miami condominium loan, interior design and a personal DJ hobby, and concealed this after a 2023 internal audit. Tarsha denies fraudulent intent, the case is pending, and the FAR token no longer trades meaningfully.
