Ex-Rugby Star Swindles 40+ Investors in $900K Crypto Scheme – Here’s How It Unraveled

Crypto's dark side strikes again—this time with a jock twist. A former rugby player turned fraudster just left a trail of 40+ burned investors and nearly a million dollars missing. Here’s the play-by-play.

The Hustle: Promised moonshots, delivered exit scams. The scheme lured victims with 'guaranteed' returns—classic red flags waved, ignored, and exploited.

The Damage: $900K vanished faster than a Bitcoin flash crash. Victims range from crypto newbies to seasoned traders, all duped by the athlete’s credibility halo.

The Irony: Another 'trust us' crypto grift in an industry that’s supposedly trustless. Maybe decentralized finance needs fewer ex-athletes and more decentralized oversight.

Remember folks: If it sounds too good to be true in crypto, it’s probably a rug pull—even if the scammer can bench-press 300 pounds.
