The U.S. CFTC sues Cash FX Group and three individuals, alleging they used crypto-currency “cover” to run a $950 million foreign-exchange investment fraud. These kinds of capital-pool schemes have very consistent traits: they promise principal protection with high returns, pay referral commissions for recruiting “heads,” and the whereabouts of the funds are unclear.

Looking at the current price, LINK is 14.09 and ORDI is 4.74. For major coins, intraday price swings are generally around 2%. Whether returns are high or low is entirely determined by market supply and demand. Any crypto project that claims fixed high returns should be ruled out immediately. To screen projects, focus on just three points: whether the funds are truly held/controlled by the project, whether the source of returns is transparent, and whether the exit/withdrawal channel is smooth.
