Cory Kromray received a 68-month federal prison sentence on February 6th for his role in the fraudulent Driven Trading scheme. This sentence equates to approximately 5.6 years.
Kromray was indicted in May 2025 on criminal charges connected to Driven Trading. This operation was a fraudulent investment scheme that operated in tandem with Jimmy Ezzell’s defunct YEP and Joe Martinez’s defunct iX Global.
In October 2025, Kromray pleaded guilty to counts 6 and 9 of his indictment. Count 6 pertains to wire fraud, while count 9 addresses engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from wire fraud.
The court ordered Kromray to serve 68 months on both counts concurrently. He must also pay $828,266 in restitution to eight grouped victims.
The judge acknowledged that Kromray lacks the immediate financial resources to satisfy the full restitution amount. Therefore, under 18 U.S.C. § 3664(f)(3)(B), he is required to make minimum monthly payments of $500, commencing within 30 days of his release from custody.
The court determined Kromray is not a flight risk. He is scheduled to surrender to Bureau of Prisons officials by March 25th, 2026.
