Hello Community 🙋

Today I'm trying to save you from what I see as a #Fraud .

The name of the project (which is currently on presale) is “BlockDAG”.

🚨Here are all the red flags every investor should know about: 🚨

⚫️ The presale is divided into several batches which give more and more bonus (current batch gives a bonus of crazy 250%)
This means that the coins of the “early” investors have already become worthless in the presale (new record), as you now simply get them as a bonus for the first purchase.

⚫️ According to BlockDag, the German soccer club BVB has ended the cooperation due to the MICA2 regulation in the EU (which is complete nonsense). It is also interesting to note at this point that they have never previously announced themselves to BlockDAG.

⚫️ The leader board is dominated by a few who, due to their reach, naturally receive more coins per hour in return and thus devalue the coin again as these are awarded “free of charge” for “advertising” (without lock duration).

⚫️ The public groups are full of paid promoters who encourage everyone in the group to buy 24/7. They dodge critical questions and make fun of you. Also, none of the promoters can answer the question why BlockDAG should be the future and why I should invest my money.

⚫️ The World Champion in MMA that is being advertised is also NOT public committed to BlockDag.

⚫️ Promotional videos are shot with paid actors and not with the team behind the project

⚫️ The team seems to have no interest in the Tokennomic

⚫️ due to the hefty bonus in each presale batch, early investors are once again forced to buy coins as their coins have become practically worthless

There are many more red flags, such as the fact that no named partner on the website publicly commits to BlockDag.

If you take a look at the big picture as a newcomer to the crypto market, you should quickly realize that there is a lot going wrong and you should keep your hands off it.

Rise in Cryptocurrency FraudsThe Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, recently highlighted the increasing number of frauds in the cryptocurrency space, which is linked to the historic surge in the price of Bitcoin. Gensler emphasized the risks associated with unethical practices in the crypto world and pointed out the volatile nature of Bitcoin, which can attract speculative investors. Gensler pointed out the issues in the broader context of the crypto industry, including the dangers arising from inadequate information provided by digital asset intermediaries, which could jeopardize investors. Year 2023: Record Year for Cryptocurrency Frauds According to analysis by Chainalysis, frauds became a key factor in cryptocurrency-related crime in 2023, with generated revenues exceeding $4.6 billion. The FBI's report on internet crime shows that there was an increase in losses from crypto investment frauds in the USA to $3.94 billion, representing a 53% increase from the previous year. Investment frauds became the most common type of internet crime in 2023. Reasons for the Increase in Frauds The rise in frauds is linked to increasing interest in high-yield investment opportunities during strong market sentiment. Chainalysis research suggests that frauds generate smaller revenues during downturns in the crypto market. Most Common Types of Fraudulent Schemes The BBB's 2023 fraud report revealed that scammers come up with innovative methods to deceive investors, with approximately 80% of Americans targeted by crypto and investment frauds in 2022 experiencing financial losses. A significant increase was noted in cases of romance scams, which increased 85 times since 2020. Pump and dump schemes are unpredictable and utilize new tokens to artificially inflate their prices, enabling fraudsters to make money when prices are at their peak. According to Chainalysis, only a small percentage of the more than 370,000 tokens launched on Ethereum in 2023 achieved significant liquidity. How to Protect Oneself The key to protecting oneself from frauds is to be vigilant and informed about potential risks.

SBF, founder of FTX, requests a 6.5-year sentence and advises guards to invest in SolanaAccording to a recent article in The New York Times, Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, is providing investment advice to prison guards and suggesting investments in the cryptocurrency Solana. SBF's legal representatives seek a lighter sentence The legal team of former FTX chief, Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried, filed a motion in the Federal District Court in Manhattan requesting a sentence ranging from five and a quarter years to six and a half years. Following charges of multiple offenses including fraud and money laundering, which could have led SBF to face up to 110 years in prison, this request emerges as a response to last year's jury verdict. Details of the charges and expected sentence SBF faces charges of various financial crimes, including wire fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and money laundering. The sentence for SBF is scheduled to be handed down by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on March 28, while federal prosecutors are expected to submit their sentencing recommendation by March 15. A preliminary investigation report suggested a sentence of 100 years. Defense arguments for a reduced sentence SBF's lawyers have labeled the proposed century-long sentence as "barbaric," pointing out that SBF is a first-time offender with no prior criminal record and that four co-defendants have confessed to the crimes. Furthermore, they argued that the damages to clients, creditors, and investors are zero, as the bankruptcy process of FTX is expected to enable full reimbursement to clients for their losses. SBF's life in prison and his advice to prison guards Since his imprisonment at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn last summer, several stories about SBF have emerged from prison, including his offering of trading and investment advice to prison guards, recommending investment in the cryptocurrency Solana.

Malicious Actors Drained $39 Million from DeFi in January 2024#DeFi security startup Quantstamp has recently released a report highlighting alarming security incidents in the growing world of decentralized finance (DeFi). Malicious actors are employing sophisticated methods to threaten and exploit DeFi protocols. Nearly $39 Million Lost Quantstamp revealed that malicious actors managed to drain approximately $38.9 million from DeFi through various attacks. These incidents involved the use of smart contracts, key compromises, and fraud. Radiant Capital: The First Target The first significant target was the Radiant Capital protocol, which facilitates cross-chain lending. Attackers caused a loss of 1,900 #ETH (approximately $4.5 million) by exploiting a time window and a known rounding issue in the Compound/Aave code. This incident raised concerns about the security of DeFi platforms and their users. Gamma Protocol: Another Victim A devastating attack followed on the Gamma Protocol, a liquidity control protocol, which suffered a loss of approximately $6.18 million. Exploiting vulnerabilities in the price movement threshold configuration allowed attackers to manipulate prices and generate a large number of LP tokens. Wise Lending and Socket Protocol Wise Lending, another prominent player, fell victim to a flash loan attack, resulting in a loss of at least $460,000. The Socket Protocol, an interoperability protocol, was also targeted, with attackers exploiting vulnerabilities in a new module to steal approximately $3.3 million from users. Goledo Finance: A Loss of 7.9 Million CFX Goledo Finance, a lending protocol within the Conflux ecosystem, was also subjected to an attack, resulting in a loss of 7.9 million CFX (approximately $1.7 million). This incident underscores the serious threat that malicious actors pose to DeFi platforms. Persistent Threat to DeFi In conclusion, this series of attacks, including recurring flash loan attacks, underscores the persistent threat that DeFi platforms must contend with. Thorough security measures need to be implemented, and vulnerabilities monitored to minimize losses and safeguard users in this dynamic ecosystem. $ETH #crypto #fraud   Notice: ,,The information and views presented in this article are intended solely for educational purposes and should not be taken as investment advice in any situation.

FTX Hack Mystery Possibly Solved: Trio Accused of Cryptocurrency Exchange TheftFederal indictment does not name FTX or Sam Bankman-Fried as the victimized company, but Bloomberg reports it was indeed them. The United States federal government has on Wednesday issued charges against three individuals allegedly involved in a long-standing hacking scheme culminating in the infamous theft of $400 million from FTX, a #cryptocurrency exchange owned by Sam Bankman-Fried, which subsequently collapsed. In an 18-page indictment filed in a federal court in Washington, prosecutors have accused Robert Powell, Carter Rohn, and Emily Hernandez of conspiring to commit wire fraud and identity theft in the operation of a SIM card swap ring targeting fifty victims from March 2021 to April 2023. Their most significant heist took place on November 11, 2022, when the trio siphoned off $400 million from an unidentified company. Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter, claims that the company in question was FTX. Through AT&T networks, they gained access to the cryptocurrency exchange's employees and transferred cryptocurrencies worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This indictment may finally provide an answer to one of the most significant questions surrounding the FTX scandal: Where did the hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies disappear to during the darkest hour of the exchange, right after it filed for bankruptcy protection. #crypto #fraud Notice: ,,The information and views presented in this article are intended solely for educational purposes and should not be taken as investment advice in any situation.
