Three young British men are accused of running a crypto scam.

They sold digital artwork ("Evolved Apes" NFTs) with the promise of a video game (to increase value), but never made the game and stole the investor money.

This is a common scam tactic called a "rug pull" and the men face up to 20 years in prison each.

Beware of rug pull scams!!
