🚨Crypto enthusiasts, beware! AirBit Club co-founder Pablo Rodriguez has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for orchestrating a global scam that siphoned over $100 million from investors. 😱 The scheme promised guaranteed profits from cryptocurrency mining and trading, luring victims into buying club "memberships." 🤑
Rodriguez and his accomplices traveled the world, hosting extravagant expos to persuade people to invest. Victims were given access to an online portal showing supposed profits, but no actual cryptocurrency activities took place. Instead, the scammers spent the funds on luxury items and continued recruiting more victims. 🌍💸
When victims tried to withdraw funds, they faced excuses, delays, and hidden fees. Some even had their accounts closed and lost their investments due to false claims related to the COVID-19 pandemic. 😷💔
Stay vigilant, crypto fans, and always do your research before investing! 🕵️♂️💰
