A major crypto scandal has rocked South Korea, with popular celebrities and YouTubers accused of promoting a fraudulent blockchain sports platform called Winnerz. The platform allegedly issued fake cryptocurrency, lured investors with promises of high returns, and then prevented them from withdrawing their money. Anonymous investors first brought the scheme to light, prompting them to file a complaint with the National Police Agency. The Korea Herald reported that Winnerz allegedly enlisted celebrities and YouTubers to promote the project, either by investing in Winnerz themselves or recruiting others for a commission. Images of comedian Na Sun-uk at a Winnerz year-end party fueled speculation about celebrity involvement.
