Everybody in the crypto "space" knows about them and even newbs pick up quickly on the dark side of crypto because especially the newcomers are especially targeted by big scams as well as small time crooks on social media.
But every now and then the sheer humongous dimension of some of these baffle even the more seasoned cryptonauts.
One of these examples surely is the "OneCoin" international scam that broke the worldwide records in staggering numbers at around 3,7 billion US dollars.
Compared to other dark sider's in the space this is a number that isn't topped easily.
The so called "next Bitcoin" or "Bitcoin killer" put 18 of their responsible people in jail so far with their most colorful personality Dr Ruja Ignatova still on the run.

Size matters... hahaha!
Tbh... I played around with a few of the obvious big scams in 2017. Never did that multilevel marketing stuff or shill link thing. Got out of them early enough to get my money back tho... but now profit. It was as simple as that, if you weren't willing to make extra $$$ by affiliate link shilling you made significant less than the big guns in that game.
Nevertheless I believe this had to happen in this crazy market to weed out at least some some of the worst actors in there!
So what do you think about this monster of a scam?
Did you fall prey to any crypto scams?
Let me know down in the comments!
Cheers!
