The Barcelona legend, Ronaldinho, is facing a possible second jail term in his life. Ronaldinho is associated with a company identified as ’18kRonaldinho’, which is under investigations for running a con scheme.
This company started operations as an outlet that deals with watches and jewelry before shifting to a cryptocurrency pyramid scam. It promised its investors 2% daily earnings for a minimum $30 investment. This has made the affected customers to file a case demanding around $61.2 million from ’18kRonaldinho’.
From the company’s details, Ronaldinho was only listed as an ‘ambassador’ but he is now accused of involvement in this financial scam. He deliberately failed to appear before the Chamber of Deputies at the initial summons. His repeated noncompliance may lead police to using force despite not being found guilty yet.
According to his lawyers, he was also a “victim” of the company as they claim the company used his name without permission to deceive and scam people.
