CFTC: Wolf Capital misled 3,000 investors with a daily Crypto Assets return of 3.5%.

BlockBeats news, on December 23, according to financefeeds, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed a civil enforcement action against Wolf Capital Crypto Trading LLC and its founder Travis Ford, accusing them of operating a fraudulent investment scheme that raised over $10 million from retail investors. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, claiming that the company employed a Ponzi Scheme structure, with promised daily returns not based on any actual trading activity. According to the filed documents, Wolf Capital attracted over 3,000 investors by promoting stable daily returns of up to 3.5% from October 2022 to December 2024. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) believes these claims are mathematically unsound and lack any verifiable commodity-related crypto assets trading strategies to support them. The regulatory agency alleges that funds from new investors were used to pay returns to earlier participants, which is a typical pattern of a Ponzi Scheme.
