Odaily Planet Daily News: One of the main promoters of the Forcount cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The U.S. Department of Justice's Southern District of New York Attorney's Office said in a statement on June 5 that Juan Tacuri was the core figure of the Ponzi scheme, which defrauded $8.4 million from mainly Spanish-speaking investors around the world. Juan Tacuri was one of the most successful promoters of the scam, making millions of dollars from participating in the fraud. The scam was based on false promises that investors would receive returns from Forcount's cryptocurrency trading and mining operations, including doubling their initial investment within the first six months.
