Auto-generated score, not yet verified against the scoring model. Under review — treat as indicative, not a verdict.
Summary
Fundsz was an unincorporated cryptocurrency and precious-metals investment scheme that operated from approximately October 2020 and solicited funds from more than 14,000 participants by falsely claiming a proprietary algorithm generated weekly returns exceeding 3%. A U.S. federal court found that no actual trading took place and that returns were fabricated. On September 30, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida entered a default judgment ordering defendants Brian Early and Alisha Ann Kingrey to pay $31,464,910 in restitution and civil penalties, and imposed permanent trading and registration bans on all defendants.
