In a shocking turn of events, the executives of AirBit Club have recently pleaded guilty to fraud charges in the United States after being flagged as a scam by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2018. AirBit Club was a purported cryptocurrency investment platform that promised investors high returns on their investments.

The SEC began investigating AirBit Club in 2018 after receiving numerous complaints from investors who had lost their money. The investigation revealed that the company was operating without a license and was using deceptive tactics to lure investors. The SEC also found that AirBit Club was operating a Ponzi scheme, where new investors’ money was used to pay off earlier investors.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) then took up the case and charged the AirBit Club executives with fraud and money laundering. The DOJ alleged that the executives had defrauded investors out of millions of dollars and had used the money to fund their own lavish lifestyles.

The AirBit Club executives have now pleaded guilty to the charges and have agreed to pay back the money they had taken from investors. They have also agreed to cooperate with the DOJ in their investigation into other potential frauds related to AirBit Club.

This case serves as a warning to all investors to be wary of investing in cryptocurrency platforms that promise high returns. It is important for investors to do their due diligence before investing in any platform and to be aware of the risks associated with such investments. The SEC and other regulatory bodies are working hard to protect investors from fraudulent activities, but it is ultimately up to the investor to be vigilant and make informed decisions.
