  "account": "Economist Juan González Herrero claims to possess an infallible formula for success. For every euro deposited into his corporate bonds, investors receive three within 15 days. This represents a modern-day version of the biblical miracle of the loaves and fishes, as he has been selling these financial products since 2025 through a legal entity based in Ponferrada, León. The success story leaves out a crucial detail: the entrepreneur has been under investigation since July 2024 by the judge at the Audiencia Nacional, Santiago Pedraz, for a suspected pyramid scheme worth €200 million, which was exposed by EL PAÍS over a year ago. This deception originated from the Leonese financial conglomerate Herrero Brigantina, which seduced 35,000 clients - SMEs, self-employed individuals, and families - in Europe with their investment solutions, pension plans, insurance, and mortgages.",
