The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) announced last week that it had carried out searches of two properties in Donegal as part of an investigation into a potential pyramid scheme in the health and wellness sector. Pyramid schemes are fraudulent marketing and investment arrangements in which you're offered an opportunity to market a particular product. You know it's a pyramid scheme when the profit comes not through the sale of anything but through the recruitment of others into the scheme. This is the second time this year that the CCPC has warned consumers about pyramid schemes. Back in March, the consumer watchdog said that it had been fielding multiple calls about a potentially fraudulent scheme that had been doing the rounds on social media. People were invited to 'invest' €150 in the scheme and told that once they recruited more people, they would move up to the 'next tier'. This supposedly continued until the participant reached the ce...

Online stock trading platform Robinhood has confirmed it was hacked last week with more than five million customer email addresses and two million customer names taken, as well as a much smaller set of more specific customer data. The company said in a blog post that a malicious hacker had socially engineered a customer service representative over the phone November 3 to get access to customer support systems. That allowed the hacker to obtain customer names and email addresses, but also the additional full names, dates of birth and ZIP codes of 310 customers. Robinhood said that 10 customers had "more extensive account details revealed." Robinhood did not say what information specifically, though no Social Security numbers, bank account numbers or debit card numbers were exposed and caused no immediate financial loss to customers. But it's precisely that kind of information that malicious hackers can use to facilitate further attacks against victims, like targeted ...

[unable to retrieve full-text content] Bitcoin is looking more like a pyramid scheme, and central banks must act    South China Morning Post

Wall Street prognosticator Dan Salmon said last month at AdExchanger's Programmatic IO conference that "every consumer-facing company will become an advertising company." And here's the latest example: On Wednesday, Nu Skin, a publicly traded multilevel marketing (MLM) company that sells skincare products and supplements, acquired mobile commerce startup Mavely. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Mavely offers ecommerce advertising solutions for direct-to-consumer sellers and has its own app that small-scale influencers with thousands or in some cases tens of thousands of followers can use to earn commissions for sharing products and generating more sales. Most of the influencers who use Mavely's app are female since the company focuses on fashion and cosmetics. Mavely's tech licensing business grew out of inbound calls from DTC brands asking to white label its shopping rewards tools, including a virtual storefront for influencers who sell across soc...

In February, a quant fund called Cindicator Capital posted a job listing for someone with three years of trading experience — and at least 1,000 karma on r/WallStreetBets. "Important: NO higher education in economics or finance," the listing said. Most of the time on the job would be spent on Reddit, Twitter, and Discord, finding out what retail traders are up to. Among the job duties listed: "opening six-figures OTM [out-of-the-money] options trades with the firm's own capital" and "trying your best to prevent our risk management from having a heart attack." This listing actually made sense. After a few boring years where normal people mostly bought index funds, the pandemic sent a bunch of people who otherwise would have bet on sports into the welcoming arms of a new batch of mobile-first trading platforms because, well, there weren't any sports to bet o...
