Ronaldinho :
is about to go to jail for cryptocurrencies
The world football landscape is in turmoil
and this time
- it's not about
- a controversial penalty
- or the usual drama on the pitch.
Ronaldinho
once the jewel of teams such as Paris Saint-Germain
Barcelona and AC Milan, finds himself in the middle of
a storm full of allegations, lost appearances and cryptocurrency conspiracies
It seems that
even Brazil's golden foot is not immune to controversy.
Because of a hierarchical scheme linked to one of
his companies
Ronaldinho was playing a dangerous dodgy game with the Brazilian Congress.
After ignoring two summonses to
testify :
Maestro stated soccer's questionable reason
However
doubts have been raised throughout the legislative chambers.
How many more opportunities will he get?
- Congressman Oreo Ribeiro points
- out that there may be another opportunity
- for Ronaldinho on August 31.
But if he chooses not to appear again
it may be that law enforcement forces appear on his doorstep afterwards
ensuring that he is confronted before the Congressional Committee.
- Brazilian law does
- not master words when it comes to
- those who have been called by Congress.
Brazilian law does not
master words when it comes to those who have been called by Congress.
It's simple:
they should come. For those considering a violation of this order
there is an elegant package of fines
and police escort awaiting direct guidance to the hearing they tried to evade.
And now you might be wondering why all this fuss?
What can drag a football legend into such a swamp?
- It originated in a project called "18kRonaldinho."
- This project allegedly has daily returns
- exceeding 2% through cryptocurrency investments.
But the dream deteriorated :
when the company apparently failed to deliver on that promise.
The consequences were serious
a massive lawsuit seeking compensation of up to $61 million.
As if this were not an adequate offence
- this lawsuit has escalated, becoming a key focus of
- a larger investigation into the mysterious depths of
- cryptocurrency fraud within Brazil.
Ronaldinho's :
defenders are quick to
distance the star from the company's core operations.
They portray him as merely the "face" of the brand, an unintentional pawn
whose name and image have been manipulated without proper consent.
Interestingly
this is not Ronaldinho's only story with cryptocurrencies.
Last year
- in a joint venture with INFLUXO
- he entered the field of non-replaceable codes
- (NFT) rapidly growing, unveiling his own collection.
But with
the increasing frequency of the cryptocurrency storm
Back in 2020, you may remember another controversy that
signed Ronaldinho and his brother Roberto de Assis into his company.
Their crime?
Possession of false passports
which cost them a stressful 170 days in a Paraguayan prison.
Complicating matters, Assis' name is
also widespread in current cryptocurrency investigations.
The coming days promise more discoveries
more drama :
and we hope there will be clarity on the extent of Ronaldinho's involvement.
The question remains:
Is their football hero really a victim
or is there a dark side to this once-beloved symbol?
Only time
perhaps Congress's long-awaited testimony, will reveal the truth.
