Here is some real news with substance written all over it   

Leanord Shutzman had been named CEO of Arbitrade  https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/02/26/1387532/0/en/Former-PepsiCo-Senior-Executive-Named-CEO-of-Arbitrade.html

Leonard is a whale in the financial industry.   Here is some info I found on him He retired from PepsiCo in 2011, after
serving as part of the company’s leadership team for more than thirty years. He served as Senior Vice President & Treasurer of PepsiCo, where he directed global financing, tax strategies and Mergers & Acquisitions. He was also
Chief Financial Officer of Pepsi Cola International, Frito Lay, and Taco Bell.

No this venture is no scam.   it is a good bet that there are enemies with deep pockets trying to stop what they are doing however.  I would imagine there are  paid trolls in this thread
