What would Tony the Tiger think?
Top crypto news stories of the week see more companies charging into the NFT industry, the metaverse and crypto mining.
Federal authorities have charged two men with fraud and money laundering in relation to an NFT "rug pull" scam. Two men allegedly pocketed $1.1 million from investors hoping to strike it rich in the NFT crypto gold rush, only to disappear in the money.
The Frosties operators apparently remained confident enough to plan a follow-up series called “Embers” that was supposed to launch later in March.
The founders were also said to be in the process of launching another NFT project expected to fetch $1.5 million prior to being arrested.
