  "summary": "The Bank of Ghana (BoG) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have jointly issued a warning to the public against a suspected cryptocurrency investment scam operating under the name “Daily Wealth Guide.” The regulators cautioned the public not to invest money in the platform or similar schemes promising quick and high returns, following the circulation of a doctored video on social media purporting to show President John Dramani Mahama endorsing the investment platform. The BoG explained that inviting members of the public to deposit money with such schemes amounts to deposit-taking, which can only be carried out by institutions licensed by the Bank of Ghana. Individuals or entities involved in such activities risk prosecution and may be required to refund all funds received. The regulators further warned that offenders could face administrative penalties under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2020 (Act 1044), as well as investigations and prosecution by law enforcement agencies. The Bank of Ghana urged the public to verify the licensing status of any individual or company before depositing money with them and has directed media houses not to advertise the services of the so-called “foreign investors” without first verifying their licensing status.",
