The numbers

Face amounts are not current balances.

Payments, credits, overlapping orders, joint liability, and conditional penalties matter. These figures should never be added without those qualifications.

Personal GAW-era orders $9.925M Restitution plus separate SEC interest, before credits and later interest.
Texas scheduled amount $5M Jointly and severally owed by all Nomad defendants—not Garza alone.
Texas conditional amount $3M Abated unless a court finds a material violation of the judgment.
Private class settlement $3.5M Funded by Stuart Fraser, not by Garza.

Reading the record

Not every statement has the same weight.

The labels below appear throughout the site so a visitor can distinguish a signed order from an accusation or a founder’s own product claim.

Judgment or plea

Established in a signed record

A criminal plea, court judgment, or order. The precise terms still matter: consent and agreed judgments are not jury verdicts.

Government allegation

Pleaded, not automatically proven

A regulator or attorney general alleged the conduct. A later settlement may expressly deny admission of wrongdoing.

Self-published claim

Marketing that needs verification

A company site, profile, or social post says the product exists or performs as described. That is evidence of the claim, not of the capability.

Condensed timeline

From GAW to agentic AI.

  1. GAW Miners sells Hashlets

    The SEC later alleged the companies sold substantially more mining capacity than they possessed and used later sales to fund earlier payouts.

  2. Guilty plea and SEC judgment

    Garza pleaded guilty to wire fraud. A separate SEC consent judgment imposed disgorgement tied to the criminal restitution plus $742,774 in prejudgment interest.

  3. $9.182 million restitution ordered

    The federal court sentenced Garza to 21 months and ordered restitution to the fraud victims.

  4. Supervised release begins

    A 2022 federal filing states supervision commenced on October 14, 2020. Nomad’s later consumer-relief period begins in January 2020, overlapping part of the incarceration period.

  5. Texas sues Nomad defendants

    Texas sued Jessica and Homero Garza, Alan Harmon, and GEV IO over alleged unauthorized SIM-card resale and deceptive consumer practices.

  6. Agreed Texas judgment

    The defendants accepted an $8 million joint judgment structure: $5 million scheduled and $3 million conditionally abated, without admitting the state’s allegations.

  7. New AI positioning

    Garza’s public materials describe Half as Smart, GARZA OS, Garza MD, HXO Corp, and AI-agent deployments at Nomad. Independent technical validation remains limited.
