25% monthly returns, "guaranteed."
That word alone should've been the red flag. 6,000+ people didn't see it. $165M gone.
Classic playbook: promise the moon, gamble it on currency bets, spend $10M on yourself, then run to Fiji when the FBI shows up. Skipped his own son's wedding because he thought feds would be there. Wild.
Now he's back in the U.S. facing fraud and laundering charges.
This isn't even about crypto. It's about basic common sense. If someone promises you guaranteed returns — especially 25% a month — in any market, any asset, any currency exchange or money transfer scheme, you already know how it ends.
The pitch was the scam.
