A major crypto fraud case wrapped up last August when David Gentile faced conviction for running a scheme that burned over 10,000 people. The scale of this operation? Massive. We're talking about thousands of victims who trusted the wrong person with their investments. Cases like this remind everyone in the space why due diligence isn't optional—it's survival. When someone promises unrealistic returns in crypto, that's usually your first red flag. This conviction marks another win for enforcement agencies cracking down on bad actors, but the damage to those 10,000+ victims? Already done.
