Following on from Oscar Garcia
blaming Frank DiCrisi for Batched’s collapse
, in a recent legal filing Garcia claims tens of millions of dollars has been was also laundered.

For reference, the parties in this story are:

Batched – rebranding of the
Uulala
Ponzi scheme (late 2021)

Oscar Garcia – owner and CEO of Uulala and Batched

Fireblocks – a crypto payment processor used by Batched

Batched Merchant Services – shell company created by Frank DiCrisi in mid 2022

The Traders Domain – collapsed Ponzi scheme (non-MLM)

Ted Fredirick Joseph Safranko – owner of The Traders Domain

Savvy Wallet – cryptocurrency wallet and payment processor

Frank DiCrisi – co-owner and COO of Batched, co-owner of Savvy Wallet and The Traders Domain investor

Gregory “Tuffy” Baum – co-owner of Savvy Wallet and The Traders Domain investor

The lawsuit Garcia’s filing pertains to was recently filed in the Superior Court of California, Orange County.

(3) provide Plaintiffs with the API code for the mobile app used in conjunction with the Savvy Wallet platform,

(4) provide access to the Fireblocks vault and Master Account, and

(5) take no further actions to deactivate or block the Fireblock platform.

Why DiCrisi and Baum were so desperate to get their hands on Batched’s Fireblocks credentials will become apparent later on.

For now, Garcia claims, as at the time of January 19th, that he complied with the TRO conditions above.

The sought injunction, if approved, would make said conditions permanent.

Early on in his filing, Garcia confirms the reason the Uulala branding was dropped was a result of
the SEC suing the company for fraud
in 2021.

After years in litigation, we decided as a company to settle with the SEC. I was fined personally but did not have to admit guilt or claim innocence.

The company, Uulala, which Frank owns and manages was also fined.

After the fine, we noticed that several of our banking vendors were aware of the SEC investigation and settlement and decided to drop the services they were rendering to us.

We moved the Uulala program to another c
