Earlier this week, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission revealed that it had taken legal action against four individuals and their unincorporated entity for orchestrating a deceptive scheme involving precious metals and digital assets. At its peak, the alleged fraudulent project had ensnared more than 14,000 customers.

The legal complaint was submitted in the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida, targeting Rene Larralde, Brian Early, Alisha Ann Kingrey, and Juan Pablo Valcarce. This group, in collaboration with their unincorporated entity known as Fundsz, faced allegations of engaging in deceitful practices by misleadingly attracting clients to participate in purported trading activities.
