Two men who stole more than £5.7m worth of cryptocurrency from victims all over the world have been jailed. Jake Lee, 38, from Charlcombe in Bath and James Heppel, 42, from Staverton in Wiltshire, both pleaded guilty to three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud. The South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU) identified 55 victims in 26 countries, including 11 from the UK, who had been targeted by the the pair. Lee was handed four years' imprisonment and Heppel was sentenced to 15 months at Bristol Crown Court on 3 May.
