A day later, Ford Jr. was selling a cryptocurrency course of his personal:

At this stage Ford Jr. seems have gotten himself neck-deep in MLM crypto securities fraud.
On January twenty third, Ford Jr. boasted about qualifying as a Senior Supervisor at Intelligence Prime Capital:
Intelligence Prime Capital pitched returns of as much as 40% a month, purportedly derived by way of foreign currency trading.
To qualify as a Senior Supervisor, Ford Jr. needed to persuade others to speculate at the very least $10,000 into the scheme.
Intelligence Prime Capital, believed to be run by scammers in Asia, collapsed in February.
By this stage Ford Jr. was referring to himself as a “foreign currency trading knowledgeable”.
He claimed at the very least one of many MLM Ponzi schemes he was selling (believed to be Intelligence Prime Capital), was “dealer regulated and totally compliant”.
After IPC collapsed, Ford Jr. fell deeper down the MLM crypto fraud rabbit-hole.
Ford Jr. based PIN (which I imagine is brief for “Passive Income)…

One other MLM crypto Ponzi Ford Jr. might have been promoted is HyperFund/Hyperverse.
Yesterday Ford Jr. joined the “Hyperverse Rip-off Now What!?” FaceBook group, placing him on their radar.
I’ve picked up the story from there. A US Federal Regulation Enforcement Officer selling Ponzi schemes isn’t one thing we see on a regular basis.
On April twenty seventh, Ford Jr. instructed he was incomes extra selling MLM Ponzis than he was as a police officer.
Ford Jr.’s stint as an officer of the legislation had been diminished to a “facet hustle”.
As I perceive it, Ford Jr. is employed as a United States Mint Police officer.
Yearly, the US Mint Police safeguard greater than 1,650 Mint staff, greater than $100 billion in gold, silver and coinage, and 1000’s of holiday makers to Mint amenities.
In the present day, Mint Law enforcement officials have the first duty for shielding life and property, stopping, detecting, and investigating legal acts, accumulating and preserving proof, making arrests, and implementing federal and native legal guidelines.
This month issues haven’t been going so nicely within the MLM crypto Ponzi area of interest.
MetaFi Yielders is attempting to maintain their Ponzi afloat with rolling 4.2% a day funding plans.
Two weeks in the past Ford Jr. boasted of withdrawing $40,000 out of COTP.
COTP collapsed final week. Traders are ready to see if the Ponzi is rebooted this week.
In violation of the Securities and Alternate Act and Commodity Alternate Act, neither Ford Jr. or the Ponzi schemes he promotes are registered with the SEC and/or CFTC.
