Apparently there's an unofficial "LIFE" telegram group setup by members still operating here:
https://t.me/joinchat/J4hSR1SiOgEBc8Vlc8_WwQA bunch of messages with some additional important information have been passed on to me from there - I'll paraphrase some of them below, along with further comments...
Here's the critical lesson: Sensible investors never invested more than they could afford to lose, and when it became a loser (or they figured out it was a scam), they immediately cut their losses (sold) and moved on - they'll make good elsewhere. (The wise never invested at all, but that's another story.)
Whereas the naive, blind, and ever hopeful investors "HODLED", put themselves through suffering of constant nonsense for years, and some are still in there now, STILL wasting their time and lives over it. Some have huge losses and are in denial about it, some still believe that "LIFE token"/"lifelabs" was always legit, some are still dreaming that it's coming back and that their tokens will eventually be worth $1 each, some don't realize how or why they were scammed, etc.
(The other lesson is that past performance is no indicator of future performance. People saw it go to $0.01 per token and expected this "pump" fraud would happen again.)
It's gotten so bad, that some of them are even defending Anwar ("Community Manager") like he's their best friend! All whilst Anwar swears and carries on like a child, and calling for admins to ban people who criticise him (which was always his pathetic answer to everything).
Anwar is without any doubt thoroughly guilty. He's one of the major parts and a major enabler of the whole scam, because without him, "lifelabs" would not have built - and retained - an "official community" of thousands of gullible suckers to scam, and continue scamming, in the first place!
Anwar is also the one who banned countless people from the company discussion/telegram group, each time also deleting any comments he didn't like, "FUD", critical questions, criticism, etc.
Anwar is the one who said "good news is coming"... just as they were nearing their original/initial deadlines... when actually his announcement shortly after was effectively that they'd screwed everything up and not produced anything yet (but of course he didn't say anything like this - he worded it as if everyone should be excited about their changes/reset). [It then continued to drag on for years... utterly absurd... also how people continued to be so gullible to keep buying this turd!]
Towards the end of the scam, it was pointed out that they were secretly selling billions more tokens, but those who raised the issue - that circulating supply was closer to the full 100 billion, not 20+ billion that was shown on coinmarketcap - were banned by Anwar, who was of course always trying to prevent anyone from exposing their scam. Later on, CMC corrected the supply to 86+ billion. They told everyone that it was "incorrect", i.e. they all blatantly lied.
These are just a few examples of why the biggest and most frequent liar and scammer of them all is Anwar. He's in photos socializing with the "team", with whom he was in regular contact. He knew things weren't right, but not once did he ever warn "his" community, because he was always in on the scam and benefitting from it too.
Now he's back in the group and lying incessantly about how he's also a victim, just to try to save himself. He's clearly duped a lot of people so deeply that they're now brainwashed.
There have been thousands of crypto "projects" like this. Whether they initially had legitimate intentions or not, they all had the same things in common which anyone could easily setup for next to nothing:
* a website,
* a whitepaper,
* a chat forum,
* and a promise: "Send us your [other] crypto/$, and we'll send you our [worthless] tokens/coins!"
