Woman Sues JPMorgan Chase After Scammers Drain $1,300,000 From Bank Account: Report

2 min read

A woman in Florida is reportedly suing JPMorgan Chase after scammers extracted over $1 million from her account.

Eighty-year-old Olga Ponorovsky alleges the bank failed to protect her and her funds when she fell victim to an investment scam, reports The Sun.

Ponorovsky, a retired engineer, first came across the scam in September 2023 when she saw an advertisement she believed to be legitimate.

Con artists convinced her to make 30 separate transitions over five months totaling to $1.3 million under the guise that she would be promised returns. She never received any funds.

Ponorvosky says the bank marked the large in-person withdrawals as “suspicious” without ever taking action.

She also claims the bank failed to report the suspicious activity to Florida’s Central Abuse Hotline, which is required by state law.

As stated by Florida attorney Robert W. Georges, according to the report.

“Florida is among the states to have enacted specific statutory protections against these types of financial scams, and banks have a legal and ethical obligation to strictly adhere to these laws to prevent the financial ruin of their senior customers.”

Chase has filed a motion to dismiss the case, stating that Ponorovsky made the transactions out of her own free will.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
