NexFundAI, as per information on the website, was marketed as redefining the "intersection between finance and artificial intelligence" and that its aim was to "create a cryptocurrency token that not only serves as a secure store of value but also acts as a catalyst for positive change in the world of AI."

Dude...hook, line, and sinker. FBI knows their target audience lol

I had "AI native" on my bingo card and they missed that one. Maybe it'll come up on the next turn.

Someone got paid by Uncle Sam to make this and I’m extremely envious.
