Have prosecutors indicated plans to refile charges or pursue alternative charges in the Reynoso matter?

1. What prosecutors have charged so far — a clear baseline

The Department of Justice unsealed an indictment on July 1, 2025 charging Michael Shannon Sims and Juan Carlos Reynoso with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with OmegaPro, a scheme that allegedly raised over $650 million from investors ^[1]. The DOJ statement also notes the government says funds were routed through virtual-currency wallets and that Reynoso profited “millions” ^[1]. That indictment is the primary public criminal filing against Reynoso in the available material ^[1].

2. Civil-forfeiture and contempt enforcement running in parallel

Separate court opinions and dockets show the government obtained a warrant to seize property (including bitcoin) and later sought civil contempt sanctions when the warrant was not complied with; magistrate and district court opinions found Reynoso transferred approximately 119.65 BTC to evade the seizure warrant and held him in civil contempt ^{[2] [4]}. One district-court order denied Reynoso’s motion to stay the contempt proceedings and warned continued failure to comply could trigger fines or incarceration ^{[3] [4]}. Those enforcement steps are civil remedies tied to asset preservation rather than new substantive criminal counts in the materials provided ^{[2] [4]}.

3. Where public reporting mentions alternatives — and where it doesn’t

The DOJ public release frames the case around the two conspiracies (wire fraud and money laundering) and the scale of alleged victim losses (over $650 million) but does not, in that same release, announce prosecutorial plans to refile dismissed counts or to add other substantive charges such as tax offenses, securities charges, or additional fraud theories ^[1]. Court opinions and docket entries in related civil contempt and seizure matters likewise describe enforcement of forfeiture and contempt relief but do not record announcements from prosecutors about imminent refiling or alternative criminal charges ^{[2] [3] [4]}.

4. Possible reasons prosecutors might add or refile charges — context, not proof

Prosecutors commonly adjust charging strategies as investigations yield new evidence, especially in complex cross-border financial schemes involving virtual currency; asset-preservation litigation (seizure warrants, contempt proceedings) often proceeds alongside criminal indictments because preserving traceable funds can be urgent and distinct from charging decisions ^{[2] [4]}. The material shows both criminal indictment and aggressive civil enforcement, which is consistent with a layered government response, though it does not confirm any announced intention to refile or expand charges ^{[1] [2]}.

5. What the record explicitly shows prosecutors threatening or pursuing

The court record makes explicit that the government pursued a seizure warrant, sought civil contempt when the warrant was thwarted, and obtained contempt findings — including findings that 119.65 BTC was moved to evade the warrant — and the DOJ has charged Reynoso criminally with the two conspiracies mentioned ^{[2] [4] [1]}. Those are concrete, on-the-record actions by prosecutors and the courts; claims beyond them are not documented in the provided sources ^{[2] [4] [1]}.

6. Limitations in the available reporting and how to watch for updates

Available sources do not mention any public prosecutor statement about plans to refile dismissed counts or to pursue alternative criminal charges beyond the July 2025 indictment and the civil enforcement described; therefore, definitive assertions either way are not supported by the provided reporting ^{[1] [2] [4]}. To detect refinements in prosecutorial strategy, monitor (a) DOJ press releases for superseding indictments or new charge announcements, (b) federal docket entries for superseding indictments or plea filings, and (c) continuing asset-forfeiture and contempt docket activity, which the current sources show has been active ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

If you want, I can track the relevant dockets and DOJ releases and report back with any newly filed superseding indictments or public statements announcing alternate charging decisions.
