The entity … has no affiliation with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. or its chairman and CEO, Warren E. Buffett.

The plans also guarantee that users will “profit every day on an ongoing basis.” The website further shows a list of users who supposedly made tons of money using the system.
The contact address listed on the website belongs to a single-family home, and no phone number is listed. The contact email uses the web address of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.
The site also claims to be “regulated by several financial authorities,” including the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). i alla fall, the Berkshire crypto website is not listed on any of the above regulators’ approved lists.
