[2017-05-01] News Outlets and Journalists Being Threatened By Onecoin Lawyers

[TwoTimes]

According to reports, the notorious Onecoin organization is threatening to sue media outlets and journalists accusing the operation of being scandalous. Two bitcoin proponents have come forward this past week claiming Onecoin Ltd and the company’s lawyers are planning to file lawsuits against them for defamation and “economic losses.”

“In the past days I have received legal letters from several Onecoin lawyers that are extremely irritated about an article I have published,” explains Brenneis. “In this article, I was simply pointing out two publications by Bafin (the German banking watchdog) concerning Onecoin.”

"It appears that the intimidation has been big enough to get many other website publishers to take their Onecoin articles down for good. At least that is what the lawyers proudly list."

Wow, for a scamcoin they've put a lot of effort in.  Some of them just throw together an annoying presentation or website with loads of spelling errors and let it be.  Onecoin are going the whole way when getting loads of naive investors to throw their money in thinking they'll get rich on the latest original cryptocurrency.

I wouldn't budge if I were these journalists. This is aimed to scare them and buy time for the scheme, so there's nothing to fear.
This is a scamcoin and all lawyers in the world won't change that. Onecoin doesn't have enough time to go to court, by the time the verdict is reached they'll be far gone with all the money.

Such impression that under decent crypto currency can hide and swindle therefore journalists very strongly sniffs out all sorts of information. And at the same time, there is a lot of money going around, so there is so much interest from the media.
