“BH Group sold some $23.8 million of the currency known as dinar between 2010 and 2011. Prosecutors alleged the group made false claims about the potential value of the dinar and portrayed a former member of the group, Rudolph Coenen, as a decorated Marine wounded in Iraq, among other falsehoods. ‘The IRS put together a great case.
