National Invasive Species Awareness Week, "Defending Our Health by Stopping the Spread"

Marker 01

Can a scam hide behind blockchain technology?

In this episode of Fraud Files, host Adrienna Hines moderates a conversation with Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance James Brown and former DEA Resident Agent in Charge for the State of Montana Stacy Zinn as they examine one of the world's largest cryptocurrency pyramid schemes.

Forsage marketed itself as a revolutionary decentralized finance platform that promised passive income and financial freedom. Instead, investigators say it operated as a global pyramid and Ponzi scheme that collected more than $300 million from investors by rewarding recruitment rather than legitimate investment.

Commissioner Brown explains why Montana was among the first states in the nation to identify Forsage as an illegal securities offering and issue enforcement action, while Stacy Zinn provides insight into how complex financial crimes are investigated and why fraudsters increasingly rely on technology to create an illusion of legitimacy.

Whether you're curious about cryptocurrency, interested in financial crime investigations, or simply want to better protect yourself and your family, this episode offers practical lessons on recognizing fraud before it's too late.

Forsage: Crypto Dreams Fraud Schemes.

After a wildfire, the work of protecting the landscape is just beginning. Invasive plants and noxious weeds can take over, making recovery more difficult and increasing the risk of future wildfires.


Hear from Dr. Jane Mangold of MSU Extension and Jaycie Arndt of the University of Wyoming's IMAGINE program in this month's Montana News and Ag Noxious Weed Prevention Feature.

Battle After the Burn

What if the biggest threat to the landscape after a wildfire isn't the fire itself?

When the flames are gone, a new battle often begins. Burned areas can become prime targets for invasive plants and noxious weeds, creating a cycle that makes future wildfires more likely and recovery more difficult.

In Episode 2 of the Pull Together, Stop the Spread Podcast, host Colter Brown sits down with Dr. Jane Mangold, with MSU Extension Professor of Invasive and Noxious Weed Management at Montana State University, and Jaycie Arndt, IMAGINE Coordinator and Assistant Research Scientist at University of Wyoming, to discuss why burned landscapes are especially vulnerable to weed invasion, how wildfire and invasive species are reshaping landscapes and what landowners and communities can do to help break the cycle.
