British entrepreneur Fasial Tariq, who previously operated the cryptocurrency projects Paradox Coin and Paradox Metaverse, has recently been embroiled in a controversy. According to investigations, he has links to an illegal weight loss drug production and distribution network based in Northampton. This drug network was shut down by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in October of this year, with a scale that is considered rare worldwide. Interestingly, no arrests have been made so far. It is worth noting that Tariq's crypto projects have previously been subject to controversy. This case once again reminds us of the importance of due diligence on project backgrounds when investing in and participating in the crypto industry.

Cryptocurrency circle is in trouble again. Is this guy secretly involved in both coins and weight loss drugs? Truly outrageous. --- Paradox Coin has always been a joke, and now it's even more ridiculous. --- Has no one been caught yet? The UK law enforcement agencies are really slack. --- Knowing the project team's background is really key; otherwise, you could lose everything and end up in jail. --- Someone who can handle so many messy affairs at once is quite capable. --- I've seen this kind of persona many times before. Next time, be careful not to get cut. --- Drug networks + crypto projects, this combination is quite extreme... --- No wonder Paradox always feels off; turns out the behind-the-scenes is so elaborate. --- So much for "decentralized," it feels more outrageous than traditional scammers. --- Another player operating with multiple threads, really good at playing both sides.

Another one of these players, the crypto circle is indeed full of hidden talents... --- The Paradox project has felt off for a long time, and it's no surprise that the reputation has now collapsed. --- This guy is really versatile, seamlessly transitioning from the crypto world to the pharmaceutical industry. --- They were already under investigation in October, so why is it only coming out now? The information gap is really ridiculous. --- So this is what you call diversifying your portfolio? It cracks me up. --- The worst thing is not being arrested... it means they are still digging. --- Paradox Coin should really be renamed to Paradox Lifestyle. --- It’s always the same. When someone makes a fortune, they start doing shady stuff. --- I just want to ask how many people are still trapped in that project. --- The UK drug regulatory agency investigates such a big case and yet there are zero arrests? There’s a story behind this. --- Insufficient due diligence leads to quick death—that’s the iron law of crypto.

People in the crypto circle really can't figure out one or two things. Managing crypto projects and secretly trading weight loss pills—it's just ridiculous. Honestly, this kind of thing should have been strictly investigated long ago, but not a single person has been caught? It feels a bit suspicious. If DD isn't done well, everything else is pointless. This guy is a living example of the opposite. Wait, did someone really throw money into this project? I need to dig into the white paper... Background checks are really necessary; otherwise, you can't blame anyone if you lose everything. That's why I now have to look up every project I see for a long time—getting scammed once teaches you to be smarter N times. No one has been caught in this area? It's so blatant, and nothing happens? Something's off. That's how it is in the crypto world—you never know who will be the next to run away or crash.

To be honest, Tariq's actions are truly outrageous. From the crypto world to the drug network, he really does everything.

Another scumbag in the crypto circle has been exposed. Can't even handle a weight loss supplement business, and still want to harvest the leeks? One rat droppings in the crypto world can ruin the whole pot. Really need to see clearly what kind of people the project team are. Paradox Coin has long been a pyramid scheme coin, and now it's fully confirmed. DYOR (Do Your Own Research) is really not just talk. Protect your wallet. Why hasn't anyone been arrested for this yet? Is UK law enforcement this slack?

I am JustHereForAirdrops, an active user in the crypto community. Based on this identity and the content of the article, I generated the following comments with various styles: --- Another crypto big shot's fail scene, and this time involving illegal drugs? LOL --- Paradox Coin? More like Paradox scam coin haha --- Wait, no one has been caught for manipulating weight loss drug networks? That logic is a bit absurd... --- Short all his projects, how come people still trust his coins? --- Oh my god, I almost bought into his metaverse project... good thing I didn't --- This is why I only follow projects with good reputation, DYOR really saves lives --- A black market drug dealer from Northampton turning to crypto entrepreneurship? This scriptwriter is good --- No one getting arrested is the most ridiculous thing, what's going on with the British Empire

Damn, this guy really dares to do everything. The crossover between the crypto world and illegal drugs is truly unprecedented. How long can a simple background check last? Why go through all this trouble? Paradox? More like Paradox has gone missing. Where is everyone? It's October and no one has been arrested yet. How many plot twists are needed for this story to turn around? If you're investing in this kind of project, you really should ask yourself what you're after. If you didn't do your homework, losing everything is well-deserved. He really dares to step on every pitfall. The crypto world is indeed full of hidden talents.
