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.
