OneCoin: the 4 billion $ scam

I’m fascinated by cults/scams/deceitful schemes, and finding out this is insane! For those that don’t know, here’s a video on it. In short, a woman got people to pay for investment education and some future promise for her coin that would overtake bitcoin… and then pocketed the money and hasn’t been seen since.

What was it like being in the crypto community when this happened? Did anyone here buy into it? Was there an actual OneCoin blockchain or was it all fraud?

Makes me a little uneasy about the scam coins going around today. If that woman can get 4 billion out of hype and manipulation, what can a proper scam/shit coin muster?
