Could a Forsage scam collapse push ETH price lower?

In this post:

An Ethereum trader has cried out that the new Forsage scam that is carried out with Ethereum could drag the price of the digital asset down.

2019 saw one of the biggest scams of Ethereum take place in which the developers were able to cart away with nothing less than $2 billion in crypto. Even though the life span of the platform was very short, it was able to gather enough funds that the operators tried to steal after the collapse of the website. 

According to experts, this move was one of the reasons that caused the Ethereum price crash that happened around the end of 2019. Unfortunately, another group of scammers are now on the prowl with a new Forsage scam.
