> While we have informed users that there are no absolute guarantees against risks

I'm... uh.... fairly certain this was not the crux of their marketing which severly downplayed the underlying risk. There is also a huge spectrum between "we cannot guarantee that there is 0 risk" (which seems to be what the above sentence is saying), and "there exists a risk that all of your funds disappears in 24 hours".

It seems like there is some serious rewriting of history going on here.

Question though, do the founders here have any potential criminal liability from this whole situation (including apparently lying about what they were doing with their customers funds)?

This was their old marketing:

-"15% interest. No surprises."

Thank you! I was looking for that image (which I'd seen before) but couldn't find it.

Will be interesting to hear the argument "Well technically there were no surprises here, because customers should not be surprised when they lose all their money investing in risky assets. Therefore, technically, we did not lie."
