Seems shady. Is there even an ANN thread?
Yeah leocoin is a scam coin. there's no announcement, it's pure premined scam shit.
Yeah....the press worldwide took the bait..and without any kind of research....at taking the bait that leocoin is the 2nd largest alt coin behind bitcoin in the world
(i mean i knew journalistic standards were sloppy..but I mean really???)
examples of folk passing along this hype w/o any fact checking

cnbc link
http://www.cnbc.com/id/102533747heh cryptocurrencynews is NOT amused...by this pump and dump lie/scam etc
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/leocoin-claims-second-largest-digital-currency-bitcoin-bullshit/anyway as far as I can tell....there is NO github source code on this....it is a POW (only cpu and gpu) and POS coin combo
and everything they are saying is either exaggerated or fluff...
but then again this launch gets eyeballs to your site...so who cares...and better yet if it is a scam you get even more eyeballs when that happens...so you double the fun
on your news web site....and to top it off if you throw bitcoin around enough in the mix you can slam that either for or against in the articles depending on which for even
more readership
win/win/win
and of course any 'correction's' or miss information you can also make a story out of that as well or just bury the redaction a few months from now on a daughter page on
the site
success/scam/whatever .....plenty of eyeballs on the old news web page.....its all about the eyeballs and the ads don't ya know....
