Steve Grzanich has the business news of the day with the Wintrust Business Minute.

The coin scheme solicits buyers and when it reaches a certain level, creators dump their holdings and make off with a profit. The schemes usually target celebrities, influencers and major corporations. McDonald’s called it an isolated incident and apologized.
