SafeMoon CEO Found Guilty in US Crypto Fraud Trial

Another crypto executive falls—this time, SafeMoon’s top boss gets slapped with a guilty verdict in a U.S. federal court. The so-called ’DeFi revolution’ keeps serving up more fraud cases than actual financial disruption.

No surprise here: another moon-shot token turns out to be grounded in old-fashioned deceit. When will the SEC start treating these schemes like the boiler rooms they are?

Bonus jab: At least this time, the ’rug pull’ was metaphorical—just shareholders left holding the bag, not an actual blockchain.
