So even the name had a hidden scam reference in it. This seems so dodgy now.

  Or maybe they just mashed together the Latin word for 'truth' with 'Ethereum' and the etymology of Veritaserum is coincidentally covergent evolution

    Honestly you're probably right. They wouldn't be so brazen if they planned to steal money from the beginning. But nothing would surprise me in crypto anymore.

      Hey, I have to disagree here. Let's look at what we know prior art. The best phishing attacks are the ones that are so obvious that only the unsuspecting, the vulnerable and those insufficiently skilled would fall for them.

        This simply isn't true. Those are the worst phishing attacks largely performed by some guy in Africa manually sending emails.

  Even if the name references Veritaserum, Veritaserum isn't particularly associated with scams. Far more likely they'd be trying to associate with its truth-finding properties. The quoted line is amusing, but no more.
