Plutus Racket Update – German BaFin launched investigations

German regulator BaFin today announced investigations into Plutus Racket. BaFin is unfortunately not known for being particularly active or competent but at least it is a first step in the fight against this racket. The Plutus Racket is the operator of a vast network of scams such as Plutus, PlutusPro, Lucrum, LucrumPro, Galore, or Celox.
