anchored·3UAn72…CDGpSummary
Fundsz was an unincorporated crypto and precious-metals investment scheme that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) alleges defrauded more than 14,000 participants beginning in October 2020 by fabricating weekly trading returns and falsely claiming a 'proprietary algorithm' generated over 3% weekly profit. Brian Early (Louisiana) and Alisha Ann Kingrey (Arkansas), alleged Fundsz board members and social-media moderators, did not respond to the CFTC's 2023 complaint, and on September 30, 2026 a federal court in the Middle District of Florida entered a default judgment ordering them to pay over $31.4 million in restitution and civil penalties. Co-defendants Rene Larralde (deceased) and Juan Pablo Valcarce resolved the case via consent orders.
