John Cahill (Associate-White Plains, NY) was quoted extensively in “Crypto Scams to Watch Out for in 2025,” which appeared in Yahoo/Finance on February 20, 2025. John likened the rush to invest in meme coins to the gold rush, emphasizing that the ideology of "being ‘first’ is everything" can be dangerous. He cautioned that this environment is ripe for scammers who create misleading tokens linked to legitimate projects, only to reap undeserved profits. These scams not only defraud buyers but also undermine the legitimate projects they are falsely associated with. Cahill warned that while the allure of getting in at the ground level can be tempting, participants should conduct their due diligence by analyzing the smart contract, researching the founders, and using publicly available tools for detecting scams.
