Joel Micah Greenberg (born February 4, 1984) is an American politician and former tax collector of Seminole County, Florida.

The venture was a success; by the time Greenberg sold DG3 in 2015 it had the biggest growth of any company in Central Florida, according to an annual list published by Inc., having reported $8 million in revenue during the previous year.

Federal authorities later alleged the company had been used to obtain fraudulent loans through a program put in place to help small businesses hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic; this eventually led to additional criminal charges against Greenberg, including bribery of a public official.

[14] At one point the $90,000 server room running the cryptocurrency operation overloaded the electricity supply, causing $6,700 in uninsured fire damage.

[15] During the reelection campaign in 2019, he is also alleged to have created fake Facebook accounts and sent falsified letters making claims of sexual misconduct against an opponent,[10] and impersonated a law enforcement officer on two separate occasions, to stop a woman while driving, and to try to evade a speeding ticket himself.

[19] After being arrested in 2020, Greenberg began to cooperate with federal investigators probing Gaetz,[5] who was also implicated in the sex trafficking scandal, although he has not been charged with a crime.

[20] In April 2021, Greenberg's attorney announced that his client planned to plead guilty as part of a plea agreement with the government to avoid a possible life sentence.

[21] On May 17, 2021, Greenberg pleaded guilty to six federal charges: sex trafficking of a child, production of a false identification document, aggravated identity theft, wire fraud, stalking, and conspiracy.

In court papers for his plea deal, Greenberg did not implicate others by name but admitted that he "introduced the minor to other adult men, who engaged in commercial sex acts".

[4] Federal judge Gregory Presnell accepted Greenberg's plea agreement on June 3, 2021, and scheduled a sentencing hearing for August 19.

[26] On October 18, prosecutors also asked Presnell for the extension, stating that Greenberg was a "prolific criminal" who had made allegations that "take us to some places we did not anticipate."
