It just looks like there is someone out there with a vengeance against the verge project because it seems like no matter how hard they try they cannot just catch a break. Most coins have never had to worry about or deal with hacks while verge seem to be averaging an hack per month. I just feel sorry for the investors who have money in it seeing as this is affecting the prices negatively.

Hmm, I wonder can it be somehow related to the fact that McAfee took part in Verge promotion at the end of 2017?  Roll Eyes
