Arizona man pleads guilty to $13 million crypto fraud, faces 15 years in prison
Vincent Anthony Mazzotta Jr., a man from Arizona, has pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering in a $13 million crypto scheme involving #ponzi . He and his accomplice David Gilbert Saffron defrauded victims from 2017 to 2023 through fake crypto investment companies like Mind Capital and Cloud9Capital.
Sophisticated scheme and "double scam"
Mazzotta and Saffron used fake AI trading bots to promise high returns to investors, but in reality, the money was used to fund luxury purchases such as renting villas, private jets, and hiring bodyguards. More insidiously, these fraudsters also set up a fake organization called the "Federal Crypto Reserve." After losing money in the initial scam, victims were further defrauded by being charged additional fees for fake "investigations" aimed at recovering their lost funds.
Experts warn that this is a very cruel form of double fraud, exploiting the desperation and shame of the victims. Mazzotta is set to be sentenced on December 15 and could face up to 15 years in prison. This case once again highlights the need for caution regarding promises of returns that are "too good to be true" in the crypto market. #scam

Crypto Scam
🚨 World Record: UK Police Seize 61,000 $BTC in Fraud Case
The largest cryptocurrency seizure in history just made headlines — and it’s straight out of a crime thriller.
🔑 The Numbers
61,000 Bitcoin seized.
Current Value: £5.5B+ ($6.7–7.4B).
Seizing Authority: UK Metropolitan Police.
That’s bigger than even the Bitfinex hack seizure by the U.S. DoJ.
👤 The Mastermind: Zhimin Qian (aka Yadi Zhang, “Goddess of Wealth”)
Ran a Ponzi-style investment scam in China (2014–2017), defrauding 128,000+ victims, mostly elderly.
Fled China with the proceeds in Bitcoin, using a fake St. Kitts & Nevis passport to enter the UK.
💰 The Laundering Scheme
Enlisted Jian Wen, a former takeaway worker, as her “frontwoman.”
Lived in a £5M Hampstead mansion, spending big at Harrods, buying Dubai properties, and traveling first-class.
Covered it all up with a story about a “jewelry business” and “mining profits.”
🚔 The Breakthrough
In 2018, UK police raided her home.
The jackpot? A laptop holding keys to 61,000 BTC in wallets.
⚖️ The Legal Fallout
Qian has now pleaded guilty to acquiring and possessing criminal property.
Accomplice Jian Wen was convicted earlier and jailed for 6 years, 8 months.
The seized Bitcoin sits in limbo as China demands restitution for victims.

**Beware of Ponzi Schemes Disguised as Legitimate Businesses**
Ponzi schemes have evolved, using sophisticated tricks to appear legitimate. Some now flaunt **fake certifications (like NMBS), branded T-shirts, face caps, and even rented office spaces** to gain trust. They organize **flashy seminars**, recruit affiliates aggressively, and promise unrealistic returns—just like infamous scams such as **MMM and Sigma Investments**.
**How to Spot a Ponzi Scheme Immediately**
1. **"Too Good to Be True" Returns** – If they promise **20%+ monthly returns with zero risk**, it’s a scam.
2. **Recruitment Over Product** – Their main focus is **signing up new members** rather than selling real products/services.
3. **Fake Certifications** – They display dubious credentials (e.g., "NMBS Certified") to appear regulated.
4. **Pressure to Invest Fast** – They create urgency: *"Join now before slots close!"*
5. **No Clear Revenue Source** – If they can’t explain how profits are made, it’s a Ponzi.
6. **Payment Delays or Excuses** – When payouts slow down or stop, it’s collapsing.
**Lessons from MMM & Sigma**
- **MMM (2016)** collapsed after promising **30% monthly returns**, leaving millions bankrupt.
- **Sigma Investments (2020)** used **fake offices and celebrity endorsements** before vanishing with investors’ money. Same as (14/04/2025) in Nigeria
**Protect Yourself**
- **Research** – Check regulatory bodies (SEC, EFCC) for company legitimacy.
- **Avoid "Referral-Only" Income** – Real businesses don’t rely solely on recruitment.
- **Withdraw Early** – Ponzis pay early investors with new deposits; cash out fast if suspicious.
🚨 **Remember:** If it looks like a Ponzi, acts like a Ponzi, and pays like a Ponzi—it **is** a Ponzi. **Don’t be the next victim!**

ASTR Scam Project - Cryptocurrency Project of Japanese People
$ASTR is a scam project that steals investors' money; those who have ever bought $ASTR since this token was listed on Binance have suffered heavy losses (the price at the time of listing was about $0.3, now the value has decreased more than ten times to only $0.025). I hope those who are new to this market will stay away from this cryptocurrency $ASTR , and also please stay away from cryptocurrency projects of Japanese people! A terrible project!

Bitcoin Pharaoh arrested in Florianópolis after a year and a half on the run
Florianópolis, May 31, 2024 - Claudio Barbosa, known as the "Bitcoin Pharaoh", was arrested in Florianópolis on Tuesday night (28), after a year and a half on the run from justice. He is suspected of being part of a pyramid scheme with cryptocurrencies that generated losses of R$4.1 billion in more than 80 countries.
Barbosa was arrested in a luxury car in the Jurerê Internacional neighborhood, following an anonymous tip. He did not resist arrest. The accused's defense claimed that precautionary custody is unnecessary, as the process is in the final stage, and that there was no regulation on cryptoactives at the time of the events.
Millionaire scheme
According to the Federal Police, Barbosa's company, Trust Investing, offered investment packages starting at US$15, with promises of daily gains of up to 20% per month and more than 300% per year. In 2021, the group launched two cryptocurrencies without financial backing to keep the pyramid running.
Previous arrest
In 2021, another man known as the "Bitcoin Pharaoh", Glaidson Acácio dos Santos, was arrested for a similar scheme.
Legal Framework for Cryptoassets
In 2022, Law No. 14,478/2022, known as the Legal Framework for Cryptoassets, was approved. Barbosa's defense argues that the investigations against him took place before the law came into force, when there was no regulation on the subject in Brazil.
What happens now?
Barbosa remains in prison in Florianópolis. The defense seeks to reverse the court's decision and set him free. The case is ongoing in the city of Campo Grande (MS). $BTC $ETH $BNB #golpes #ponzi

A little enlightenment #Ponzi
Many people still claim that the supply is at one billion. This is also stated in the white paper if you check it.
but don't be fooled like in the beginning when Terra kept quiet about the hyperinflation that was affecting LUNC.
Let's just click on the coin info and then go to the block explorer
you will be redirected to the Block Explorer then just click on mint!!!
In the document, everyone can read that Luna's supply has exceeded the 1 billion mark and will continue to do so in the future and the statement in the whitepaper is simply a lie to conceal this from investors .
The fact alone that Terra has not learned anything from the mistakes of the past and still does not educate its investors enough about the supply forces me to do this 🤷🏽♂️#HotTrends
this simply means Terra will dance on the spot forever #BinanceLaunchpool because there is no focus on a burn on the part of the new chain so it means the inflation of the chain kills it in the long run$BTC $SOL $SOL

$PDA When I see the friends who bought it from here, they started to say that it will fly away, it is obvious that they did not do any research, it came here for 3 dollars, they do not know it, moreover, the tokens that cost 0.15 dollars became 3 dollars in the same range, I am afraid that we are being replaced by tokens with lots of zeros. Even the fraudster Do Kwon did not harm us that much. Friends who bought it for 0.1 dollars for a long time. If they wait, they will understand what I'm talking about. Remember that in some exchanges, there was not even a transformation, it sits in a corner like a fake token and there is no sound because there is no sanction against these thieves. Remember, if your money is confiscated, there is nothing you can do by the Playdapp team and this thieves team can take your money at any time. You can say that we have collapsed and it is unclear whether they will do this or not.

$6 Billion Evaporates: How FBC Platform Scammed Millions of Investors? 🚨💔
The story of the FBC online platform, which promised investors amazing profits in exchange for simple investments, has recently spread, but it turned into one of the biggest scams in the digital world. This platform was not licensed by any reliable financial authority, and targeted more than a million people around the world, including thousands of Egyptian investors, and seized an estimated $6 billion before suddenly disappearing.
EminiFX Founder Ordered to Pay $228M in Ponzi Scheme Ruling
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has secured a massive $228.5 million judgment against Eddy Alexandre, the founder of collapsed crypto investment platform EminiFX, marking one of the largest restitution orders in recent crypto Ponzi cases.
⚖️ What Happened?
EminiFX, launched in 2021, promised investors weekly returns of 5%–9.99% through an AI-powered “Robo-Advisor Assisted Account.” In reality, no such technology existed—instead, Alexandre ran a classic Ponzi scheme, paying earlier investors with money from new deposits.
The platform raised over $262 million from more than 25,000 investors, many from the Haitian community and Alexandre’s own church circle, before collapsing in 2022.
🔑 Key Details of the Ruling
Restitution: $228.576 million to defrauded investors.
Disgorgement: $15.05 million (profits illegally obtained, offset by restitution).
Criminal Case: In July 2023, Alexandre was already sentenced to 9 years in prison and ordered to pay $213 million in restitution.
Asset Recovery: The court has ordered Alexandre to surrender luxury watches, digital devices, and over $5 million in hidden cash.
💸 Investor Relief Efforts
Since early 2025, a court-appointed receiver has been distributing recovered funds to victims, offering some hope of restitution. Additional legal action targets Interactive Brokers (IBKR), which allegedly enabled Alexandre’s misuse of investor funds—potentially unlocking further recovery for victims.
📉 Why It Matters
This ruling is another reminder that:
Guaranteed high returns = red flag.
Ponzi schemes thrive on community trust, often exploiting close networks.
Regulators are intensifying enforcement, meaning fraudsters face both prison time and financial ruin.
🚀 Final Take
The EminiFX case shows that while crypto innovation is reshaping finance, scams disguised as “AI trading” and “guaranteed profits” are still rampant. Investors must stay vigilant, do their due diligence, and remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
