Bitcoiin2Gen (B2G) was launched in early 2018 as a cryptocurrency project that claimed to offer a more advanced, self-sustaining, and mineable alternative to Bitcoin. It gained significant public attention through its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and a high-profile endorsement from actor Steven Seagal. However, investigations by U.S. authorities later revealed the project to be a fraudulent pyramid scheme designed to defraud investors. The founders were subsequently charged by both the SEC and the Department of Justice for orchestrating the scheme.
