<h1>AI token presale touts $2.9M raise, $0.01 price, outsized ROI claims - raises securities, advertising, and consumer protection risks</h1> A blockchain-based AI token issuer reported raising $2.9 million in a presale offering with tokens priced at $0.01 and promotional claims of outsized returns if listed on exchanges. The release emphasizes AI-driven utility and compares potential ROI to established cryptocurrencies, while framing the opportunity as high-risk/high-reward. Legally, the communication is a marketing statement with forward-looking claims and a disclaimer shifting editorial responsibility to the promoter; it may raise securities, consumer-protection and advertising-compliance issues depending on jurisdiction, and investors face significant regulatory and market-risk exposure.
