Ronaldinho accused of fraud in crypto case

In these modern times, where crypto is intruding into almost every aspect of our society, fascinating stories are emerging. One of them, rather unexpected, concerns Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, better known as Ronaldinho, the legendary Brazilian footballer.

From soccer field to crypto court

Ronaldinho, a former FC Barcelona and AC Milan prodigy, dazzled the world with his prowess on the pitch. However, today it is not his game that is making headlines, but a dark case of cryptocurrency scam.

allegations weigh on him, suggesting his involvement in a dubious scheme piloted by a company named “18kRonaldinho”. This entity promised staggering but misleading returns of 2% per day to bold investors.

It would seem that the 2005 Ballon d’Or was more than just an investor. He appeared as an ambassador for this entity, which initially sold watches and jewelry. Despite a summons to clarify his alleged role, Ronaldinho was conspicuous by his absence from the tribunal, leaving a veil of mystery.

Victim or accomplice? The debate has begun

The soccer star’s lawyers insist Ronaldinho is actually a victim in the case. They claim that scammers illegally exploited his image and name to fool more people. The injured investors are claiming no less than 300 million reais (about 61 million dollars) in compensation. A sum which testifies to the potential extent of this fraud.

However, it should be pointed out that Ronaldinho is no stranger to the crypto ecosystem. Indeed, he had joined this world, in a legal way, more than a year ago, by partnering with the subsidiary of Graph Blockchain, New World Inc.

At the heart of this turmoil, one question lingers: is Ronaldinho a silent culprit or yet another victim of the crypto frenzy? With nearly 75 million followers on Instagram, the outcome of this case will have a remarkable impact. Caution is advised in the volatile cryptocurrency industry, where even the big guys can find themselves trapped. However, the story is different for Donald Trump who did not hesitate to invest $5 million via Ethereum.
