I just read about this case of a Colombian chess player who ended up being sentenced in Brazil for scamming with USDT. The story is quite intense: he promised people a monthly return of 2% (, which we already know is a red flag ), and he moved $1.5 million in stablecoins through multiple cryptocurrency platforms. The crazy part is that when investigators looked into it, they managed to freeze about 1.095 million—almost 75% of what had been stolen. More than eight years in prison. Honestly, you’re seeing more and more of these fake crypto investment schemes, especially when they promise fixed returns. People watch the market price go up and down and let their guard down. This guy took advantage of that. Be careful with any promise of guaranteed returns—something like that always ends badly.
