Title: "Onecoin" attacking Bitcoin newssite, we are rallying to battle them in court
Post by: Ente on April 29, 2017, 01:43:50 PM
You surely have heard of "onecoin", self-described cryptocurrency, in which "investors" invested three-digit millions of cash already.
The coinspondent, one of the major Bitcoin and cryptocurrency newssites in Germany, wrote about "onecoin". Now they started legally threatening Friedemann, the face behind the Coinspondent, and try to literally take offline the entire newssite.
Right now, Friedemann and supporters try to rally up funds and publicity. If it works, he will battle "onecoin" in court. If it fails, he will surrender to them. Here  https://coinspondent.de/2017/04/28/bitcoin-vs-onecoin-vor-gericht/#english (https://coinspondent.de/2017/04/28/bitcoin-vs-onecoin-vor-gericht/#english)­ is a sumup and scans of what happened so far.
If you are interested in a fight against "onecoin", please pass on this info. We need a public storm on our side.
Unfortunately, the deadline is Tuesday already.

Thank you for your help!

OneCoin is an obvious scam.  It is obvious to everyone except those that have been suckered into investing in it.

At least the authorities in India are not putting up with their bullshit:

He is not alone receiving threats, he should contact the person who commented on his article (Tym). Another website received dead threats for writting about them. They shouldn't be called cryptocurrency, they have nothing cryptographic.

they have nothing cryptographic.

Totally unfair.  Their SQL database is password protected.  The password is probably "password$123".

how are they allowed to legally pursue people when they themselves are having their collar felt by the law?

and are they suing stuff like this - http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/who-wants-onecoin-millionaire-you-7346558

or only going after people they think they can win over?

Yes I think somewhat. Since the site is european based. With an US based website taking the website owner to the court is difficult for them.
And in this case I guess they try such method then
