Iris, better known as EyeRize, is an LA mom who documents her life online – and she and Davide were confirmed to be dating last year.
The 35-year-old is the former girlfriend of cryptocurrency fraudster Iza, who dubbed himself “The Godfather.”
It was today revealed Iris is facing up to three years in federal prison, charged in a single-count information with subscribing to a false tax return.
Davide told MailOnline: “How The Italian Stallion stole the girl from the Godfather with the LAPD on a speed deal… this sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster.
“The truth is that I knew about her situation from the start which is why I was protecting her.
“Iris is an amazing person who has been through difficult situations that most people could never understand.
“There’s so much of this extraordinary story that people don’t know yet.
“I will be there by her side to supply her as she deserves all the support and understanding.”
he Justice Department announced on Tuesday March 4 that she had failed to report more than $2.6 million (£2,004,886) in ill-gotten gains, obtained via her then-boyfriend’s criminal activities.
A report from the United States Attorney’s Office reads: “Au admitted in her plea agreement that she transferred more than $2.6 million from these various accounts to her personal bank accounts during the period 2020 through 2023, income that she willfully failed to report to the IRS on her federal tax returns.
“After pleading guilty, Au will face up to three years in federal prison.”
Iris’ ex-boyfriend appeared before a federal judge on January 30, and pleaded guilty to a first superseding information charging him with conspiracy against rights, wire fraud, and tax evasion.
He has been in federal custody since September 2024, and IRS Criminal Investigation and the FBI are investigating the matter.
The report continues: “Iza engaged active Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) deputies to provide private security for him and caused the deputies, among other things, to obtain court-authorized search warrants and confidential law enforcement information targeting people with whom Iza had financial and personal disputes.
“At Iza’s direction, Au created shell corporations and opened bank accounts in the names of those entities.
“She then used the illicit funds placed into those accounts to pay approximately $1 million to the deputies, mostly in cash, purchase or lease luxury real estate, cars, jewellery, and clothing, pay for recreational activity for Iza and herself valued at nearly $10 million, and acquire approximately $16 million in cryptocurrency for Iza.”
