However, when the time came to take out my profit and enjoy the fruits of their labor, they were met with a harsh reality.

    Of course. Why wouldn’t a con artist go after a group that has already self-selected for gullibility?

    It’s scamming on easy mode

        It’s hard to see how they still manage to have much money after all the grifters have been picking their pockets.

          A lot of these folks have passive income streams that make falling for a four or five digit scam incidental to their way of life.

      TBH I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re not being targeted at all but rather align perfectly with the real target audience: lonely, expendable income, low intelligence, low understanding of tech or finance, aging population.

    But see, the truly smart scammer would have a potentially decent coin and name it maga-coin. They’re looking for anything except government currency…the super scam, or is it?
