đ°đ· A South Korean YouTuber with 620,000 subscribers turned his followers into unwitting investors, raking in a cool $232 million with his âconsulting firmâ from December 2021 to March 2023.
đ Promising 20x returns on 28 homemade tokens (mostly worthless), he got viewers to go all inâselling property, taking out loans, and diving headfirst into the scam.
đThe result? 15,000 victims and one wild pump & dump scheme that would make Hollywood jealous. Even better, our âfinancial guruâ tried to flee to Australia through Hong Kong and Singapore. Now, heâs one of 12 suspects in custody. đ€·
