Amalgam Founder Faces Charges Over $1M ’Blockchain’ Scam—Another Crypto Grift in the Books
Amalgam Founder Faces Charges Over $1M ’Blockchain’ Scam—Another Crypto Grift in the Books

Another day, another ’revolutionary’ blockchain project exposed as vaporware. This time, it’s Amalgam’s founder in the hot seat—accused of peddling a sham protocol while pocketing seven figures from hopeful investors.
SEC slams the hammer: Regulators allege the project was little more than a high-tech Ponzi, with zero functional blockchain to show for the $1 million raised. Just another reminder: in crypto, if it sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a spreadsheet masquerading as distributed ledger tech.
Bonus finance jab: At least traditional bankers wait until after lunch to steal your money.
