A shady former Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy who lied to investigators to help a convicted crypto fraudster avoid jail time has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, prosecutors said. Scott Allen Simpkins, 34, of Brea, was also fined $10,000 after he admitted he falsely testified in the case of a wannabe crypto king known as “The Godfather,” according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California. Simpkins — a former LASD deputy and SWAT officer — gave phony testimony in an effort to help Adam Iza, a 25-year-old crypto entrepreneur who ran fraudulent marketing and cryptocurrency ventures, escape from his crimes unpunished, feds said.
