The company created in 2017 had sought funds from unsuspecting investors with the claims of 300% interest on their investment in a few weeks.

The company highlighted that the funds will be used in cryptocurrency exchange trading which it never did. Saffron’s vast experience as an options trader also helped in assuring the investors of the authenticity of the claims.
