Amalgam Founder Charged With Running ‘Sham Blockchain’, Taking $1M From Investors

Another ’revolutionary’ blockchain project collapses—this time with a founder allegedly pocketing seven figures from starry-eyed investors.


The ’Sham Chain’ Unravels

Regulators claim the so-called blockchain was pure fiction—no nodes, no code, just good old-fashioned fraud dressed in crypto jargon.


The $1M Illusion

Investors bought the hype (literally), proving yet again that the words ’decentralized’ and ’disruptive’ still open wallets faster than actual working products.

As the SEC slams the gavel, the crypto world shrugs—another cautionary tale destined to be ignored by the next wave of moon-chasers.
