Title: I have a question
Post by: X-ray on March 15, 2016, 05:33:35 PM
I have seen a couple of people around here in the forum who are getting negged for operating or promoting a ponzi and even some got negged just for participating or openly admitting that they have deposited in such scheme. All these people are known to be promoting BITCOIN ponzi.
Today I came accross this guy and his signature caught my attention.
Basically, it is a doubler site of an altcoin that is in his signature link and when I clicked the link it is obvious that it is a ponzi or a pyramid sheme when I see these words:

  you are entered into the pyramid and stand to double your money if there are deposits after you (minus a 2 % fee, to be exact).

My concern is I am wondering why the guy is not getting any attention from the people who usually tags people who promotes a ponzi here in the forum?

Link me the profile.



So it's an ethereum smart contract.
I've discussed about those with james.lent some time back, IIRC.
I'm gonna ask around a bit.

It will get negged soon, as we know Lutpin is already member in the default trust list, next time if you see any of this kind of promotion you can contact directly the DT members or report it.

I get as pissed about Ponzi schemes as anyone else, but if someone clearly states the situation like in that quote, i.e. that ROI is new investor dependent, then that's a big difference from pretending to magically make 50% a week return out of forex etc., or "doubling" thru some mysterious, supposedly stable method.
The lie makes the scam imo.
