Profit Connect guaranteed massive returns as the company reportedly raised $!2million from over 277 retail investors. They told the investors that the company will use AI technology to trade crypto coins at a cheaper price. However, this was one of the biggest scams in recent days, which has caught the eye of many. Joy Kovar and her son Brent Kovar emerged as the main culprit.

The details revealed that the plan was to use the super computer’s Artificial Intelligence to invest in the crypto coins. The investigations have revealed that the culprits did not use any sort of money or exchanged any other digital assets to get crypto coins in return. The U.S security and exchange commission further added that the funds collected from retailers were never used for crypto trading. Instead, the funds were transferred to the Kovar family’s accounts. The money was later used to pay promoters so they might bring more investors on board. The SEC’s Los Angeles-based regional officer said that people must not fell for business ideas that offer massive returns with no risk involved.
