It is worth noting that there is already another lawsuit filed by the businesswoman against the presenter, however, in the civil sphere. It all started when Garnero invited Cris to invest in Bitcoin, a currency with high yield potential, in the words of the presenter.
Trusting in his word, the businesswoman decided to invest US$ 300 thousand, an amount deposited in Garnero’s account, who guaranteed that everything would work out at the time.

While the first one harmed investors in Embu das Artes (SP), the second focused on the Northeast of Brazil, mainly in Pernambuco. The promises of income by Hélio Caxias convinced many small investors, but Cris’ defense believes that Garnero was his partner and responsible for attracting large contributions from people.

A lawsuit filed by ex-Shark Tank Cris Arcangeli against Álvaro Garnero has arrived in São Paulo, citing a possible Bitcoin scam applied by him.

Arcangeli’s defense recalls that after sending the amounts to Garnero, he began to blame Hélio for not passing on the promised income, with the Hibridus Club already under investigation. This company was the subject of a lawsuit in the Public Ministry of São Paulo and is cited by former clients in several lawsuits.
“Given all ÁLVARO’s refusals to solve the problem and in a situation of
eventual, in theory, embezzlement or misappropriation of values, there was no alternative but the filing, by CRISTIANA, of 1. Criminal report against ÁLVARO to investigate the crime of embezzlement – Cases n. 0114057-51.2018.8.26.0050; 2. Civil action seeking the condemnation of the restitution of values – Cases n. 1051965-59.2021.8.26.0100 “.

In this way, the defense declared that Álvaro is a famous partner in the possible coup, which captured large clients and opened doors for capturing the group.
What does Cris Arcangeli’s defense want?
In justice, the presenter’s lawyers asked for the opening of a police investigation to investigate the crimes denounced by the possible criminal organization, if possible by Gaeco.
In addition, she hopes to understand more about a possible destruction of evidence practiced by the presenter, who took a cell phone with information from “Meu Pé de Bitcoin” with investors in the business and returned the device without data.
“… (a) The determination of the opening of a police investigation to determine the existence of the above crimes, pursuant to art. 5th, Inc. II, of the Criminal Procedure Code and forwarded to GAECO – Special Action Group to Combat Organized Crime of the PSP; (b) The promotion of all relevant steps, in particular precautionary measures, considering the possibility of death and destruction of evidence, in addition to having no idea of HÉLIO’s whereabouts (and the possibility of going abroad).”
