Alexandru Stratulat and Edward Meijers are names now synonymous with one of the largest Ponzi-like schemes in recent blockchain history. Together, they orchestrated the QGold scandal, which preyed on investors' desire to tap into the cryptocurrency revolution. However, behind the sleek presentations and glowing promises lay a well-constructed scam.

Stratulat’s technical expertise gave the QGold operation an air of legitimacy. He acted as the technology face of the operation, drawing on his previous projects to convince investors that QGold was a solid, innovative venture. In reality, it was little more than smoke and mirrors. Alongside Meijers, Stratulat funneled millions from naïve investors who believed they were part of a revolutionary financial opportunity.

As more lawsuits pile up, the investigation into their ties continues to unravel, revealing the shocking scope of the deception. Investors lost millions, and the fallout has left a deep scar in the blockchain and cryptocurrency communities. Stratulat’s involvement in this scheme, alongside Meijers, has forever tarnished his legacy.
