Ronaldinho Faces Jail Time for Failing to Attend Crypto Pyramid Hearing
The Brazilian football icon Ronaldinho did not show up for a parliamentary hearing on crypto pyramids, and could potentially be jailed if he refuses to attend another hearing later this month. Lawmakers are interested in speaking to Ronaldinho about his alleged involvement in the companies 18kRonaldinho and LBLV, particularly in relation to their scam platform. They want to know if Ronaldinho gave permission for the company to use his name and image in advertising materials. Ronaldinho’s brother attended the hearing and claimed that Ronaldinho has already provided clarification to the nation’s Public Ministry.
Key Points:
- Ronaldinho failed to appear at a parliamentary hearing on crypto pyramids.
- Lawmakers want to know his involvement with the companies 18kRonaldinho and LBLV.
- They are interested in whether he allowed the company to use his name and image in advertising.
- Investors have filed a civil lawsuit against 18kRonaldinho, claiming they lost $61 million.
- Ronaldinho’s lawyers argue that he was also a victim and did not give permission for his name or image to be used.
Hot Take:
Ronaldinho’s failure to appear at the parliamentary hearing raises suspicions about his involvement with the alleged crypto pyramid scheme. While his brother claims he has cooperated with investigations, lawmakers are seeking firsthand clarification from Ronaldinho himself. If he continues to evade the hearing, he may face legal consequences. The case highlights the risks associated with celebrity endorsements in the cryptocurrency industry and the need for greater scrutiny to protect investors.
