Title: Nutshell Exchange - Possible Scam with Fake Team Profile
Post by: holydarkness on September 21, 2020, 12:20:26 PM
What happened: Nutshell exchange is very likely a scam project, for these reason I posted below:
1. No team detail other than project leader using fake profile
2. Ann thread and bounty were sprinkled with perhaps copyrighted materials
3. Allocation for bounty was almost illogical, 50% of total supply, which very likely resulting a major dump
