As someone who has spent years in the markets, the Kayple case in Vietnam feels painfully familiar, and I honestly wish more people, including myself earlier on, had learned this lesson sooner. Every cycle, scams reinvent themselves with new buzzwords: blockchain ecosystems, AI trading, play-to-earn, cross-chain — but the structure underneath never changes. Guaranteed or “automatic” high returns are not innovation, they’re bait. What stands out in this case is how easily fake dashboards, fabricated token economics, and social proof from Telegram and Zalo groups were enough to convince thousands of investors. I’ve seen this pattern too many times: limited token supply, overseas registration claims, paid “leaders” to expand reach, early paper profits, then a sudden “system maintenance” excuse when the money runs out. Real trading doesn’t need secrecy, leaders recruiting investors, or excuses for withdrawals. I wish the industry had done a better job years ago teaching people that complexity and jargon do not equal legitimacy.
