A high-profile lawyer just lost his appeal after being convicted in a $400 million crypto fraud scheme. Mark Scott, once a partner at a major law firm, was found guilty of laundering money for the notorious OneCoin scam. His punishment? 10 years in prison and nearly $400 million in forfeitures, including bank accounts, a yacht, and two Porsches.

It’s another reminder that crypto scams aren’t going away anytime soon—they’re just getting more sophisticated. But while law enforcement catches some fraudsters, many scams still thrive, and users are often left to fend for themselves.

So, how can you protect yourself in a world of crypto fraud, tracking, and honeypots?

The answer: better privacy, smarter browsing, and decentralization—all of which MASQ provides.

The Problem: Scams Thrive in a Surveillance-Driven Web

Many crypto scams rely on a few key tactics:

🔹 Tracking & Phishing: Fraudsters track users across the web, gathering personal data to craft targeted scams.
🔹 Fake Investment Opportunities: Scammers use ads and compromised websites to lure victims into fake “too good to be true” investment schemes.
🔹 Honeypots & Centralized Exploits: Some so-called “legit” projects are built as honeypots, where users deposit funds but can never withdraw.

The scary part? Most people don’t even realize they’re being targeted. The modern web is filled with trackers, hidden scripts, and data brokers who collect information on your browsing habits—making you an easy mark for scammers.

That’s where MASQ changes the game.

How MASQ Protects You from Crypto Scams

🔹 Private, Decentralized Browsing
MASQ hides your online activity from trackers, advertisers, and even your internet provider. This means scammers can’t build a profile on you or target you with phishing attacks.

🔹 No More Data Leaks
MASQ is decentralized by design. Unlike centralized VPNs or browsers that can log your data, MASQ operates on a peer-to-peer network without saving or colelecting any data.

🔹 Safer Transactions & Research
With MASQ, you can explore crypto projects without exposing your identity or location to potential scammers. This makes it harder for bad actors to manipulate you based on your online behavior.

Crypto Privacy Isn’t Optional—It’s a Necessity

Mark Scott’s conviction is just the latest in a long list of crypto fraud cases. But if you want to avoid scams, the best defense is better privacy and decentralization.

MASQ isn’t just a browser—it’s a shield against the growing threats of tracking, surveillance, and deception in crypto. Whether you’re researching projects, making transactions, or just browsing, MASQ ensures you stay private, protected, and in control.

The next big crypto scam is already out there. Will you be ready?
