Interesting that I had not even heard of this. My previous client was connected to the types of people who were constantly relaying garbage like this, and unfortunately he would pass most of them to me for review. Almost always I would have to explain that they were almost certainly scams or utterly foolish nonsense ventures. (Usually they were intentionally malfeasant, not naive foolishness.)
The one that blew my mind was Nasgo, a nonsense fake "mining" system which was clearly trying to confuse people with Nasdaq. A few years ago they put on massive performances and hosted hundreds of guests. It was obvious to anyone who was not a greedy non-technical fool that it was a scam, but greed really does something to people. You just could not tell people the problems of this thing, because their ears were closed. So looking now, I see in 2019 the coin was theoretically worth 98 cents. Now it is worth about 1/10th of a cent. It was an outright scam of grand scale, with fireworks and conventions and such, and the people who created it surely made off with millions.
I would guess that there are at least 10 or more similar stories for each year or two. There was the most famous Onecoin and so many that followed.
