I was also hit by a scam from Centra, at that time I invest around $ 3500, the thing that made me very optimistic about Centra was that they made Floyd Myweather Jr. As an ambasador brand, Centra is increasingly popular because Floyd Myweather competes with Conor MC. Gregor which makes me more optimistic, unfortunately it is proven that Centra is a scam

I still hold 50k CTR and failed to sell them.  I have high hope for this one before it was labeled a scam and the founders were found guilty and put behind bars.  Floyd Mayweather Jr. played a huge part in why I trusted this project because he appears on social media promoting and holding a CTR card.  
that's so sad dude you lose your assets , and personally i will also be my lesson to care about public figure endorse in crypto project. as i know almost all crypto project that endorse public fgure end at scam . this is be special note for us ofcourse , dont trapped in popular opinion from figure, maybe our own analissys better.

It was a hot project at that time.  And the eligibility of the project were never questioned until the SEC comes in and questioned the integrity of their offered visa card.  Then from that point, the whole fraud is exposed and the founders were arrested, Mayweather was fined for promoting the fake Visa of CTR.  I was busy with other altcoins at that time and failed to update myself about the CTR case. Well, I agree, that is a lesson to be learned.

Incredible! In my opinion, celebrity who aid scammers knowingly should face the maximum wrath of the law. A fine looks cheap. So many people lost a great deal of money back then. It even had a negative effect on trusting crypto investments.
