🟠Dwayne Golden wasn’t a trader. He wasn’t even a half-decent scammer. Just another guy in a blazer pitching “guaranteed returns” from #crypto firms like EmpowerCoin, ECoinPlus, and Jet-Coin — all smoke, no blockchain.
🟠What really happened? No trading. No real services. Just your classic Ponzi: take from Peter, give to Paul, pocket the rest. And when it all crumbled? He shredded evidence and lied to investigators. Bold move, Dwayne.
🟠The result? 97 months in prison and a $2.46M forfeiture. His partners? One’s already locked up. The others are waiting for their turn with the judge.
🟠The DOJ called it an “elaborate scheme rooted in deceit.” We call it what it is: another clown thinking a crypto logo and some buzzwords can outsmart law enforcement.
🧠 Moral of the story? If someone promises you guaranteed profits from a “new tech opportunity,” you’re not an investor — you’re a target.
