Love Island winner's girlfriend is jailed for $2.6m tax fraud
She must also pay $1.4 million in restitution and forfeit luxury cars and handbags tied to the undeclared income, prosecutors said.
United States District Judge Percy Anderson sentenced Iris Rabaya Au to 18 months in prison on Wednesday for failing to declare over $2.6 million in income to the IRS following her March 2025 plea deal.
Prosecutors alleged Au set up financial infrastructure enabling ex-partner Adam Iza to conceal millions in fraud proceeds while she personally benefited from the wealth and willfully failed to report income to the IRS.
Authorities say Au acquired an estimated $16 million in cryptocurrency for Iza using shell accounts. Prosecutors stated Au concealed entities and income from her tax preparer, filing returns reporting only a fraction of actual income.
Judge Anderson ordered Au to pay $1.4 million in restitution and forfeit luxury assets including 14 Louis Vuitton handbags, three Chanel bags, and vehicles—a Mercedes-Benz GLS, Porsche 911, and Ferrari 488 Pista.
Iza is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence for an attempted Bitcoin robbery and kidnapping in Connecticut two years ago, having admitted to tax evasion and wire fraud connected to the scheme.
