🚨 Florida Man Loses $860K in Crypto Trading School Scam! 💸$ETH
A Florida investor, Brian Firestone, has filed a federal lawsuit after losing $860,000 to a fraudulent crypto trading school in Denver. Lured by promises of massive returns and guided trades, Firestone was introduced to CoinBridge, a fake exchange allegedly partnered with the Alpha Stock Investment Training Center (ASITC).
His balance once showed $24.5M, but after a “system error,” his funds vanished. Firestone claims he was manipulated into wiring cash and taking massive loans.
🔍 He’s now suing for fraud, racketeering, and theft.
Meanwhile, crypto-related frauds have stolen $2.1B in 2025 alone, shifting focus from platforms to individual users.
⚠️ Always double-check exchanges and trainers. Hype can be deadly.
