Their tagline is "Earn higher interest on your cash". And the website says "You can now earn up to 15% APY interest on your cash with Stablegains. This is 30x higher than in your traditional bank*."

I don't see how they can justify making such a claim. Once you put the money into their system the cash is converted to UST. No one is earning interest on their cash.

Comparing themselves to a bank, and using terminology like "deposit" and "withdrawl" are sketchy as hell. All those imply that the capital is not at risk, which it obviously was.



When you're advertising higher yearly interests than Madoff, that should raise some warnings into people's head.
