Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey recently told Barron’s that Terra may be a fraudulent project.
The Republican lawmaker has pointed to the fact that Luna promised huge returns while offering “very dubious technology.”
Toomey, who recently introduced a draft bill focusing on private stablecoins, added that investors were possibly misrepresenting the nature of Terra.
Toomey, of course, is not alone. As reported by U.Today, prominent hedge fund manager Bill Ackman concluded that Terra was a typical pyramid scheme, warning that such fraudulent projects pose a threat to the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Virtually all of the LFG’s funds were used in order to unsuccessfully help the TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin regain its peg.
The price of the LUNA governance token remains at virtually zero.
