Probably the most appalling exit scam was Dash, on account of the fact that the fucking thing is still going.. it's been shaken out of the top 10 at least and is beginning it's slow slow sink

Is there a bigger JUSTed situation? TRX is coming up at some point this year, though. I can't wait for that one.

This is, i doubt serious money would buy into ICOs like these.
Take for example Prodeum
Their stick was "revolutionizing fruit and vegetable industry".
I remember when Confido and Bitconnect were shilled on /biz/ late december.

Well this one was pretty great. Saw a couple of alties shill it on 420chan saying Steven would save the white race and would never stab them in the back, that he's influentual and has deep connection to the russian government etc.
Wonder if they killed themselves.
I don't think TRX will exit scam really, not like the classic sense. Fail? Sure, but too much effort's been put into it (like those shitty apps) by an actual known face for him to just pack and leave.
Rule nr one in exit scamming is never use your own real name or identity.

Don't misunderstand, I don't think that either (not that the CEO didn't already cash out millions and millions). I was more lol'ing at the JUST scenario that's coming, given how many retards actually hold the shit.

Maybe, i know /biz/ will be the smuggest shits about it, but i'm under the impression almost none here actually holds the coin long term, just for a quick hype mini moon.
Twitter might be different though.

>PlexCoin ICO was halted in December 2017 by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in response to an official complaint that founder Dominic Lacroix was defrauding American and Canadian investors. The complaint alleged that Lacroix was advertising an astronomically high return of 1,354% (that the SEC determined was unable to be delivered), pushing forward a group of fake experts to bring legitimacy to his project, and trying to obscure his past financial crimes, which included defrauding investors in a micro-loan venture.

>Benebit claimed to use a Blockchain token system to unify customer loyalty programs, like frequent flyer miles. This ICO had all the trappings of legitimacy, including a moderated Telegram channel with over 9,000 members, a marketing budget of over $500,000, and promotions for the token pre-sale. With a novel concept, a serious-sounding white paper, and some well-spent marketing dollars, the Benebit team were able to generate a good deal of hype, and investors began to buy in.

>However, things started to go south when someone noticed that photos of the team appeared to have been stolen from a UK school for boys. Passport details provided by the ‘founders,’ were all fake. After this revelation, the team behind the scam began pulling down anything related to Benebit, including the website, white paper, and social media accounts. Estimates vary, but the scammers are believed to have walked away with at least $2.7 million and as much as $4 million.
