Jack Abramoff, the onetime Washington insider who went to prison in a lobbying scandal, was charged by the U.S. with illegally lobbying for a fraudulent cryptocurrency project.

Abramoff has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy and violating the Lobbying Disclosure Act and faces as long as five years in prison, according to a court filing and U.S. Attorney David Anderson in San Francisco.

In separate complaints unveiled Thursday, prosecutors and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleged that Abramoff misled investors while promoting a blockchain-based digital token called AML BitCoin, through the NAC Foundation. The company’s founder, Rowland Marcus Andrade, is fighting criminal charges, Anderson said.

The two men claimed the security was an improvement on the original Bitcoin because it had encoded security features, including to prevent money laundering, according to the SEC’s complaint against Abramoff. They raised at least $5.6 million from about 2,400 investors, mostly in the U.S., from August 2017 through December 2018, the SEC said. The agency separately sued Andrade and NAC.

Notorious former Washington insider Jack Abramoff appears headed back to prison after entering into a plea deal with federal prosecutors in San Francisco.

Prosecutors announced on Thursday that Abramoff is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud related to cryptocurrency and lobbying disclosure.
At a news conference in San Francisco, US Attorney David Anderson said Abramoff has agreed to plead guilty and faces up to five years in prison.
The Securities and Exchange Commission also sued Abramoff for conducting a fraudulent, unregistered offering and sale of the digital token called AML Bitcoin.
Abramoff served 43 months in prison in the early 2000s for his role at the center of a lobbying scandal that also resulted in the conviction of officials from the George W. Bush White House, US Representative Bob Ney and nine other lobbyists and congressional aides. He pleaded guilty to a raft of federal corruption charges and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors investigating Washington influence-peddling, admitting to illegally showering gifts on officials who provided favors for his clients.
