đTIPS ON HOW TO AVOID BEING SCAMđ
â¨Research Thoroughly: Before diving into any cryptocurrency project or investment opportunity, conduct extensive research. Learn about the project's team, technology, goals, and community. Verify the project's legitimacy by checking its website, whitepaper, and social media presence.
â¨Be Wary of Unrealistic Promises: Beware of schemes promising guaranteed returns or high-profit margins with little to no risk. Remember the old adage: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Exercise caution and skepticism when encountering such offers.
â¨Verify Secure Websites: Ensure that you're using secure and legitimate websites for transactions and exchanges. Look for "https" and a padlock symbol in the website's URL, indicating a secure connection. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or emails asking for personal information.
â¨Use Trusted Exchanges and Wallets: Stick to reputable cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets with a proven track record of security and reliability. Research user reviews, security measures, and insurance coverage before entrusting your funds to any platform.
â¨Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enhance the security of your accounts by enabling two-factor authentication wherever possible. This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your mobile device.
â¨Beware of Phishing Attempts: Guard against phishing scams by verifying the authenticity of communications, especially those requesting sensitive information or directing you to log in to your accounts. Double-check email addresses, domain names, and communication channels to avoid falling victim to impersonation scams.
â¨Stay Informed and Educated: Keep yourself updated on the latest trends, news, and developments in the cryptocurrency space. Join reputable communities, forums, and social media groups to learn from experienced traders and stay informed about potential scams and security threats.

50 Cent Denies Involvement in Alleged $300 Million Crypto Scam
Rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, is facing accusations of involvement in a cryptocurrency scam that allegedly defrauded users of $300 million in just 30 minutes.
Hacked Account, Promoted Scam Coin?
50 Cent took to his Instagram account on Friday, June 21st, to vehemently deny any association with the scam. He claims his social media platform, including his website Thisis50.com, was hacked. The hackers then allegedly used his accounts to promote a cryptocurrency called GUNIT.
Rapid Rug Pull
According to reports, shortly after the promotion, the price of GUNIT skyrocketed, attracting new investors. However, in a classic "rug pull" maneuver, the scammers quickly withdrew all the liquidity from the project, leaving investors with worthless tokens.
50 Cent Fights Back
50 Cent maintains his innocence and insists he had no knowledge of the GUNIT promotion. He claims to have regained control of his accounts and is cooperating with the authorities to investigate the hacking incident.
Unanswered Questions
While 50 Cent denies involvement, some questions remain unanswered. The ease with which the hackers allegedly accessed his accounts raises concerns about his cybersecurity measures. Additionally, the swiftness of the scam suggests a level of planning that may be difficult to reconcile with a random hacking event.
Authorities Investigate
Law enforcement is likely to play a crucial role in determining the truth behind the allegations. Â Authorities will need to investigate the hacking claims and trace the movement of funds associated with the GUNIT token.
A Cautionary Tale
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with investing in unregulated cryptocurrency projects, especially those promoted by celebrities. It's crucial to conduct thorough research before investing in any cryptocurrency and to be wary of sudden price surges or endorsements from unknown sources.

â 86-Year-Old Ordered to Pay $14M After Running Crypto Ponzi
An 86-year-old former attorney from California, David Kagel, has been sentenced to five years probation and slapped with nearly $14 million in restitution after confessing to orchestrating a crypto Ponzi scheme.
Kagel, who is in hospice care due to severe health issues, will serve out his probation at his Las Vegas seniors facility. If his condition improves and he leaves the facility, he will be required to wear a monitoring device. Kagel, along with two accomplices, lured investors into a fraudulent crypto trading bot scheme, falsely promising guaranteed returns of 20% to 100% within just 30 days. The group managed to pull in $15 million in victim investments between December 2017 and June 2022.
Kagel's role was critical, as he used his legal credentials to draft letters on his law firmâs official letterhead, giving the scam a false air of legitimacy. Victims were led to believe they were investing in a genuine crypto trading program that utilized automated bots to generate high returns with no risk.
In one case, Kagel claimed to have 1,000 Bitcoin (worth $11 million) held in escrow to reassure investors. He also lied about his prior crypto investments to gain their trust. Kagel's law license has been revoked by the California Supreme Court after failing to respond to disciplinary charges. This isnât his first legal misstepâhis license was also suspended twice in the past, in 1997 and 2012.
