The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed a civil enforcement action against Wolf Capital Crypto Trading LLC and its founder, Travis Ford, accusing them of operating a fraudulent investment scheme that raised over $10 million from retail investors.The lawsuit has been submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, alleging that the company employed a Ponzi scheme structure, with promised daily returns lacking any actual trading activity to back them up. According to the filed documents, Wolf Capital attracted over 3,000 investors between October 2022 and December 2024 by promoting stable daily returns of up to 3.5%. The CFTC believes these claims are mathematically unsound and lack any verifiable commodity-related cryptocurrency trading strategies to support them. The regulator alleges that funds from new investors were used to pay returns to earlier participants, which is a typical pattern of a Ponzi scheme.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Wolfe Research's chart analyst Rob Ginsberg stated: "The current situation in the entire cryptocurrency sector is not optimistic. Bitcoin is still trapped in a downward channel, and the price is gradually declining from the highs in March. While a brief breakout would be very positive, we still respect this major trend. In the coming weeks, Bitcoin may return to the bottom of this range, which is around the $50,000 low.Since peaking in March, Bitcoin's trend has been deteriorating, with a series of lower highs and lower lows. Unless this trend changes, whether through a breakout or a more gradual reversal, we will continue to maintain a bearish outlook on Bitcoin's price in the short to medium term."
