A click of the link
Clicking the link did not do anything spectacular; it just led on to the Super.One website hosted at Cloudfare. You were required to click in using one of the customised links of some sucker before you. Actually, Andreas himself provided a link in his 1 hour + video pitch. A major sucker of a link. Noted it too. That backend on Cloudfare probably means that there was a slim establishment behind the scenes. A makeshift tent metaphorically speaking, just in case one had to cut and run or leave in a great hurry. For a time, they sold the site on as if one could really join their game freely without paying anyone, but they had their eyes on the big spend, 100 Dollars worth of ETH or 500 Dollars worth of ETH – to own, so they said a piece of the company.
Same glitzy purple, couples smiling with perfect teeth with loads of people in shades or sun-glasses. Were they hiding something?
As soon as you got in, you were on the backend where everyone was persuaded to buy ‘tokens’ named SRXs (now renamed Super.One tokens) and of course the whole scam based on ETH wouldn’t work if you didn’t invite other suckers in. There had to be a constant pot of ETH available to raid, as one website put it in a paraphrase, else the scam won't work. Suckers provided the ETH. It was quite clever. Gather a bunch of people in who had heard about cryptocurrencies and who had heard also that trading them or exchanging them could make them rich. Promise them fascinating profits if they bought into your own crap-coin, but these had to be non-sophisticated people who had tried to be rich through putting money behind multi-level marketing schemes of the worst kind – ones with no manifest product or service. Super.One was setting up to be one of these things, a Ponzi scheme on steroids, with coins going nowhere to happen. Anybody really knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies and who had done a day or two’s worth of research could tell easily that Andreas and his downline minions were not going to launch anything soon – but they weren’t targeting the knowledgeable. Another thing, a ponzi scheme is the wrong way of doing decentralisation and blockchains. For one thing, the power became pooled towards the top of the pyramid. COMP (a coin that had just launched), some said, was doing the same thing in a clever way. Concentrate power in a few hands and then let all the suckers use CUSDT tokens. I am not sure about that, but that's what some people say.
Anyway, I told those mutual friends of Paul and I when they got in touch the same things - okay had anyone done due diligence on this Super.One – had they googled it? Looked at the coin and read any whitepapers? They just looked at me with blind stares and vacant expressions, it kind of made me angry. They hadn’t done any diligence. I told Nne – "Okay look, I am going to look at this proposal up and down and tell you what is wrong with it and I will also find out about this Andreas and place whatever I find before your noses. What if there was adverse information about this company and this opportunity? Wouldn’t you like to learn it?"
