DJ Khaled

While many know DJ Khaled for the countless internet memes circulating on top sites, the man is famous as a DJ, record producer, and even an author. He built his fame step by step by making sound investments and putting in the work.

Unfortunately, those sound investments stopped at cryptocurrency. In 2018, DJ Khaled, along with Floyd Mayweather Jr., was among a group of celebrities being sued for taking part in an alleged illegal crypto coin scam. Khaled reportedly signed an endorsement deal with a crypto tech company called Centra Tech, which aimed to sell products related to crypto coins and currency. The founders of the company were later arrested and charged with wire fraud and securities fraud.

DJ Khaled helped push their products to his followers on social media and, as such, many wanted their money back pronto.
