Ronaldinho Denies Involvement in Alleged Crypto Scam
Football legend Ronaldinho has denied his involvement in an alleged major crypto scam, where victims were scammed out of $61 million. He claims that he is not the founder or controlling partner of 18K Ronaldinho, the company facing the allegations. Ronaldinho also states that he knew the company was using his name but did not take legal action. He further claims to have fallen victim to the scam himself but has not provided specific details about the amount lost.
Key Points:
- Ronaldinho denies any participation in the alleged crypto pyramid scheme.
- He refutes any association with 18K Ronaldinho, the company accused of duping crypto investors.
- Ronaldinho claims to have known about the company using his name but did not pursue legal action.
- He alleges that he was personally a victim of the scam but has not disclosed the amount lost.
- During the court hearing, Ronaldinho exercised his right to remain silent and refused to answer numerous questions.
Blaming Weather Conditions for Absence in Court
Ronaldinho initially faced charges in February 2020 following multiple complaints from victims. The scheme enticed investors with the promise of high daily returns. He cited bad weather conditions as the reason for not attending court on August 27, claiming that flight cancellations were caused by severe weather. Ronaldinho, his brother Assis, and their business partner Marcelo Lara were expected to testify before the Parliament Commission of Inquiry.
Hot Take:
It remains unclear whether Ronaldinho was truly involved in the alleged crypto scam or if he was a victim himself. Regardless, his denial and refusal to answer questions raise suspicions. The lack of transparency surrounding the case and the absence of specific details about his alleged losses leave room for speculation.
