Abiodun denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he has never traveled to the U.S., conducted business there, or used the persona associated with the alleged offenses. He claimed innocence, stating he was being unfairly targeted due to his association with individuals involved in legitimate cryptocurrency transactions.
