😈 Footballers decided to dabble in crypto — and as usual, it went sideways.
Six players from Sevilla FC are being accused of participating in a crypto scam worth €24 million.
The drama revolved around the project Shirtum. Investors were sold NFTs for around €450, with promises of an app and a 'new ecosystem for fans'.
According to investigators, the NFTs either didn’t exist on the blockchain or were just empty shells. And the app never materialized.
At the same time, they launched the SHI token.
Classic move: insiders hold the lion's share, pump the price on hype, and then quietly exit, leaving others stuck with illiquid assets.
What’s crucial here is not that they are footballers. In crypto, there's a simple rule that has stood the test of time:
if a project is marketed through faces rather than through a solid product — it almost always ends badly.
Ps: NFT, token, big names — the packaging can be anything. The essence remains: some get in early and exit on time, while others are left holding the bag.
