Okay, I just made an account on Bitcointalk because I truly want to know something here:

What in the world made you guys invest in a project that had so many red flags on it that Reddit and Biz were literally filing in Fraud reports to the US government regarding Paragon?

This was the most obvious scam I have ever seen in my two years in crypto now (well that and BitPetite).

1 - They were actively moderating Reddit, massively downvoting any critique on Para.
2 - There ICO system was "let's massively increase the price DURING the ICO so that on market entrance there will be a massive dump"
3 - They bought 200K Facebook likes from Bangladesh
4 - Their CEO is a female model (I mean cmon...cmon...do I really have to say it) that stars in a Russian soft porn music video while potentially being high
5 - They magically were funded, what was it like 80M in the pre-ICO? Right...No one took a second to sit down and think where that money came from and whether it was actually real?
6 - People in their Telegram asking questions were banned. I personally joined, asked them: "I just found out you guys bought FB likes from Bangladesh. Why did you do that?" Minute later I was banned.
7 - They lied about being affiliated with IOTA
8 - 100

This list goes on and on and was all known during the ICO and there were a ton of Reddit posts discussing how scammy the project was and the many many red flags, and yet a ton of people bought in, and still people here in this thread "believe" in the project.

I am missing something here? I mean am I wrong?
