Guam Senator Tommy Morrison is listed as an administrator for a private Facebook group promoting USI-Tech, a cryptocurrency scheme that collapsed. The group, which aimed to educate members on growing Bitcoin, was deleted after a local news outlet published screenshots of Morrison’s involvement.
USI-Tech held a recruitment event in June at the Guam Pacific Star Hotel, drawing hundreds of local attendees. Morrison, a sitting senator and former government official, did not attend the event. His political career includes leadership roles in Guam’s executive branch, such as Director of the Bureau of Statistics and Plans.
The now-deleted USI-Tech Guam Facebook group explicitly stated its purpose was to share information on Bitcoin growth through USI-Tech. Members were instructed not to post external links. Morrison was identified as one of five administrators for this private forum.
Pacific News Center first reported on Morrison’s administrative role in the USI-Tech group. Following the report, the group, which previously had over 300 members, was removed from Facebook. Morrison's public Facebook profile no longer displays any association with USI-Tech, nor is he a member of any public USI-Tech Guam groups.
Morrison’s Facebook friend list includes USI-Tech co-founder Ralf Gold. He is also connected to other key figures within the company, including Mark Ghobril and Mike Kiefer. The extent of Morrison’s personal investment in USI-Tech and the number of constituents he may have encouraged to invest remain undisclosed.
Recent reports indicate that Guam residents lost their entire retirement savings to USI-Tech. Some individuals reportedly took out bank loans or secured second mortgages to invest in the platform. A "concerned citizen" named Cyrus also expressed alarm regarding local investments in the scheme.
