Another lie, someone has to pay for hosting, for example. https://i.gyazo.com/9d913b8906bc6004f90ee6987cf7880e.png I have no idea what video ther are taking about, but this looks like clear Ponzi. https://i.gyazo.com/d3d86225ba6baf849e125328917f5d45.png In case you succeeded to find your naive partner (victim) to return your investments there are no risks at all. https://i.gyazo.com/51ab6c89f6122da99bd20d473d66be9d.png Title: Re: [SCAM]ethmagnet.com - ponzi scheme claims it is not ponzi Post by: andrei8787 on August 29, 2020, 10:14:37 AM Reported to CryptoScamAlert
