I've helped on duedil with some finance friends as a favour and the main hustle seems to be some guy with a dodgy background laundered through a couple countries, persuading people he can deliver on a transaction of some large size, which is the anchor, so when he walks away with "small," "administrative fees," it's framed as a minor rounding error on the transaction size that was just a part of the risk "everyone" was taking, and not just a ~$100,000 scam.
