Denver couple claims God told them to steal money in cryptocurrency scam

I don’t know if you’ve realized this, but some people blame Jesus for telling them to do horrible things, when they are the evil ones.

A pastor from Denver named Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn have been accused of running a cryptocurrency scam, where they solicited $3.4 million from friends and associates to buy something called “INDXCoin.”

The crypto has zero value and the investors lost all their money. Instead, the Regalados used most of the money on personal expenses including a home renovation, airline tickets, motel rooms and luxury retail purchases.

They targeted Christian investors and told them “to have faith that their investment in INDXcoin would lead to ‘abundance’ and ‘blessings.'” And when asked why they did it, the Regalados said “The Lord” told them to do it.
