Preparations for an October federal trial are underway for the Hvizdzak brothers after their alleged $31 million cryptocurrency scam.
A joint trial for the brothers — 37-year-old Shane of Bradford and 39-year-old Sean of St Marys— is scheduled for Oct. 20 in a federal court in Pittsburgh before District Judge W. Scott Hardy.
Shane had previously attempted to strike his alleged confession to the FBI back in 2020 from the record, which the judge denied in late 2024.
A potential plea deal could be in the works, but specifics are unconfirmed.
I’ll believe it when I see it
