$165 Million Crypto Ponzi Collapses: Founder Deported From Fiji
Edward Zimbardi, 59, faced a US federal judge in Los Angeles on Monday after Fiji deported him on August 14.
His "Crypto Program" promised a guaranteed 25% monthly return and pulled $165M+ from over 6,000 investors between 2022 and 2023.
Prosecutors say $34M went into losing forex bets, $10M into a house, luxury cars and alimony, and new deposits paid old investors.
Indicted July 8, 2026: 12 counts wire fraud, 12 counts money laundering, 1 count conspiracy. Presumed innocent until proven guilty.

In today’s crypto market, what is retail investors’ biggest pain? It’s not poor market conditions—it’s always being forced to take the hits.
I’ve seen too many people buy a low-priced coin and stay up late every day watching the charts, afraid they’ll miss some piece of news. Analysts in the group claim the price will reach one level or another, but the moment you enter, you’re left holding the bag. The project team announces good news, you chase in and the price drops; they announce bad news, you sell at a loss and it pumps. It feels like there’s always a pair of eyes wat

Three major investment taboos:
Borrowing money to speculate, betting heavily on market moves, and refusing to cut losses.
Others taking you to profit is an illusion; protecting your own wallet is the only hard truth.

What a dry market!

August 18 Jinman Gold Evening Review: Don’t rush to enter during the pullback; wait for support to stabilize before setting up long positions!
Gold prices came under pressure and pulled back from their highs, with the adjustment continuing in the morning session. The current quote is 4392.97, and prices have entered a pullback correction cycle below the interim high of 4449.84.
The short-term chart shows that bullish momentum faded after the surge, with prices falling and weakening consecutively. In the short term, there is currently insufficient momentum to break higher. On the 4-hour chart,

$BTC The order-book bid depth accounts for 68.3%, with a Bid/Ask Ratio of 5.31 and extremely thick buy walls below. The 4H MACD histogram remains above the zero axis, and bullish momentum has not dissipated. The 1H MACD bearish crossover is widening, indicating short-term pullback demand, but the price is oscillating along the EMA20 without breaking the structure.

8.18 Gold Evening Review
The midday range-bound plan played out perfectly. Gold stayed within the range, with all support and resistance levels matching price action.
Technical analysis: The Bollinger Bands on the 30-minute and 1-hour charts continue to tighten, with gold near the middle band; RSI is neutral, with no clear one-way momentum. Expect continued sideways consolidation tonight as bulls and bears battle repeatedly.
Resistance: 4407, 4420; support: 4386, 4377.
Coco's Recommendation: Treat tonight as range-bound. Buy dips around 4368‑4388, targeting 4405 and 4425. The U.S. session may

Watching #BTC RSI support & resistance closely.
The recent b wave low coincided nicely with RSI support.
If the expected c wave of the larger B wave is now developing, I would expect:
→ RSI to break the circled overhead resistance
→ Momentum to strengthen
→ Price action to become increasingly impulsive
An eventual move towards overbought RSI would add further confirmation.
If RSI continues to reject this resistance, however, it would make me increasingly cautious about the bullish short-term count.
Let momentum confirm the wave count rather than forcing the count onto price.
