🇰🇷 A South Korean YouTuber with 620,000 subscribers turned his followers into unwitting investors, raking in a cool $232 million with his “consulting firm” from December 2021 to March 2023.
👀 Promising 20x returns on 28 homemade tokens (mostly worthless), he got viewers to go all in—selling property, taking out loans, and diving headfirst into the scam.
🔍The result? 15,000 victims and one wild pump & dump scheme that would make Hollywood jealous. Even better, our “financial guru” tried to flee to Australia through Hong Kong and Singapore. Now, he’s one of 12 suspects in custody. 🤷
