This guy Evan ...He underestimated everyone
Judging by your level of frustration, you got that the wrong way around....everyone underestimated him.
I agree. I underestimated him for quite some time. I didn't expect in a million years that he would embark on such a prolonged, elaborate fraudulent scam. Charles Ponzi would be really proud of him.
I mean...
- Instamined 1.5 million coins in 8 hours
- Reduced the supply from 80M to 20M, making his bags 4x more valuable
- Implemented masternodes so he could put the instamine to work by taking a chunk from the miners' pockets
- Created the Darkcoin foundation so he can milk coins from people that think it actually means anything. 100 Dash per Lifetime Subscription.
- Rebranded a few times so he could gain new investors.
- Implemented a decentralized budgeting system that works this way: A proposal is created, newbies vote it with their few masternodes and Evan comes with 1500 of his own to own the majority. Some of the proposals are really interesting, like : Up to 5000USD for a wordpress website, 5500USD for Public Awarness Campaign (huh ?), 3000 USD for the Core Team, because nobody wants to touch their masternode profits, and many more. Hehehe!
...and people still believe him.
