Yotta Savings Under Scrutiny, Firm Founded by Ken Moelis' Son

Anyone see or hear anything about this? Yotta which claimed to be a savings platform that allowed depositors a chance to "win" a prize now under fire as many customers are not able to access their funds. Any idea if Ken has involvement?

You won't because Ken has nothing to do with it, it's his son Adam that's a co-founder.
