According to CryptoPotato, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said earlier this week that it had filed a lawsuit against four individuals and their non-corporate entities for allegedly operating a fraudulent project involving precious metals and digital assets. The alleged fraud project once had more than 14,000 customers. Those prosecuted include Rene Larralde, Brian Early, Alisha Ann Kingrey and Juan Pablo Valcarce. The four and their non-corporate entity called Fundsz are accused of "fraudulently soliciting funds from customers, claiming to be used for cryptocurrency and precious metals trading." The project has been running since October 2020, promising investors a return of more than 3% per week. However, the CFTC believes that the individuals prosecuted have never actually made any transactions.
