Hereâs the breakdown: ⢠65+ investors reportedly lost a combined ÂŁ1.54 million
⢠The scheme allegedly used cold calls and fake crypto investment opportunities
⢠The court ordered repayments of £603,404.28 and £247,997.99
⢠The recovered funds are intended to be returned to affected victims
The bigger takeaway: cryptoâs open ecosystem creates opportunityâbut it also makes independent verification essential. Be cautious of unsolicited calls, guaranteed-return claims, and anyone pressuring you to send funds quickly.
