**News Flash: CFTC Sues Pastor Over Alleged Crypto Ponzi Scheme**

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed a lawsuit against Francier Obando Pinillo, a pastor accused of orchestrating a $6 million crypto Ponzi scheme. Pinillo allegedly targeted 1,500 individuals, including churchgoers in Washington, promoting a fake trading platform called Solanofi. He promised high monthly returns and offered a staking service, but the CFTC claims no such services existed. Instead, funds were misappropriated. The CFTC seeks restitution for victims and a trading ban on Pinillo. Legal representation for Pinillo remains undisclosed.
