Ramil Palafox, the founder of crypto company PGI Global, has been charged by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with orchestrating a $198 million Ponzi scheme. From January 2020 to October 2021, Palafox misled investors worldwide by promoting PGI Global as a legitimate crypto asset and foreign exchange trading business. He sold ’membership’ packages promising high returns and offered multi-level marketing incentives. However, he misappropriated over $57 million of investor funds for personal expenses, including luxury items like Lamborghinis. The majority of the remaining funds were also used improperly.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
