The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against two men from Beverly Hills and Ventura County, accusing them of carrying out a "rug pull" scam through multiple NFT projects, with amounts exceeding $22 million.🎭

The two young men are 23-year-old Gabriel Hay and Gavin Mayo, who are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and stalking harassment. The case involves several NFT projects, such as Vault of Gems, Faceless, and Sinful Souls.💼

It is reported that they deceived investors through false advertising and misleading roadmaps, and after their identities were revealed, they harassed the whistleblowers. The case is being investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.🔍
