Ex-Rugby Player Sentenced For $900K Crypto Mining Ponzi Scheme

Another day, another crypto con. This time, a former rugby player faces the music for running a $900K Ponzi scheme disguised as a 'revolutionary' mining operation.

How it worked: Promising sky-high returns from crypto mining, the scheme lured investors with classic too-good-to-be-true vibes. Spoiler: It was.

The fallout: Victims got rugged harder than a rugby pitch in a downpour—while the perpetrator scored a one-way ticket to accountability.

Finance jab of the day: If only traditional banks paid this much attention to fraud... or maybe they do, just selectively.
