The scheme is ongoing

2е тексасців (з тексасу, вася з тьолкою) + 1 колишній сенатор штату Вашингтон зробили уйоб сторінку, на якій написали що вони винайшли криптовалюту, яка є підкріплена Мистецтвом. Під останнім вони мали на увазі колекцію картин, яка коштує $1,000,000,000 (1 мільярд).

Насправді, ніякого "мистецтва" вони не мали, а криптовалюта не мала навіть блокчейну.

Будь-кому, хто зайшов на їх сторінку, було миттєво ясно що 2 тексасці є шахраї, зразу після розглядання модального даялогу з шизофренічним текстом:

'The only participants of META 1 Coin Trust and the named websites are for Live Natural Man and Women, flesh-and-blood Almighty God-created private Humans sui juris sentient being; and an Ambassador of God Almighty Domiciled in the ARIZONA Republic and on religious sojourn through the UNITED STATES'

Але це не завадили їм зібрати $4.38M "інвестицій" зі 150 людей які повірили що

'each Coin, sold for either $22.22 or $44.44 would in two years be worth $50,000—up to a 224,923% return—as a "very conservative value."'

Підстаркувата тьолка називає себе "Earth Angel incarnated to help humanity", і загалом має слабку голову.

'On September 5, 2018, Dunlap and Bowdler appeared together to promote the Coin on an Internet talk show called "Crypto Visions, Evolutionary Journeys" [...] The show's host claimed that "Spirit Guides" empower her to recommend specific cryptocurrencies.

On this show, Dunlap falsely claimed that Meta1: (1) owns $1 billion worth of art that Dunlap purchased with his own money, insures the art with a $1 billion surety bond, and keeps the art in a vault; (2) owns a forensics laboratory in Sedona, which Dunlap uses to authenticate all of the art that Meta1 acquires, and that Dunlap developed an authentication process; (3) is "operating outside the jurisdiction of the state and federal government, and so we're very, very let's say astute, regarding asset protection"; (4) owns its own exchange and "all aspects of source code"; (5) is acquiring its own offshore bank; (6) acquired a company which will enable Meta1 to offer a "non-bank credit card"; (7) developed a "smart contract" which ensures that the Coin cannot be sold for less than asset value; and (8) has a goal of "get[ting] the asset value to ... several trillion dollars."

Bowdler told the audience that she channeled "the Archangel Metatron," who told her that: (a) of all the cryptocurrencies being issued, only 15-20 would be left standing; and (b) the Coin would be one of them. Bowdler also told the audience that Metatron and Abraham Lincoln revealed to her what would happen in the world's financial and economic structure over the next 20 years. Because the audience shared her "metaphysical beliefs," Bowdler knew her statements would influence them to invest in the Coin.'

SEC пише, що на гроші інвесторів, обоє шахраїв встигли купити собі кілька мошин, а колишній сенатор придбав собі скромну Феррарі за $215,000.

Найцікавіше є те, що поки що нічого за все це нікому не було. Уйоб сайт працює, заохочування публіки продовжується.

Жир.
