I find it strange that the raised amount is written directly in the sourcecode. So they update it manualy. Its not any connection to a ethereum or bitcoin node or nodeinterface. Very unprofessional. Everybody can write in the sourcecode a not proofed number.

Excerpt of the sourcecode of socratescoin.io website

function setContributed(){
         var hardCap = 46900000;
               var percent = (parseInt(8711330.0) / hardCap) * 100;
               $("#progress_bar span").css("width", percent+"%");
   $("#raisedsofarUSD").text("$"+parseInt(8711330.0).toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ","));

setContributedBTC();
      function setContributedBTC(){
               $("#raisedsofarBTC").text(parseFloat(477.61).toFixed(2).toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",")+" BTC");
      }

      setContributedETH();
      function setContributedETH(){

               $("#raisedsofarETH").text(parseFloat(3649.11).toFixed(2).toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",")+" ETH");
      }

I haven´t collected enough data on this yet as I initially though that it would be a fixed number. Throughout the last days, just by looking at the numbers, I became very certain than the raised amount must be based on a mathematical formula updated every day.

Furthermore a few of them have attened these "how to become rich conferences" in the last year where everybody afterwards sets up their own landingpage on their way of how to become rich pretty fast. Kinda like a MLM but a little different, I think. Manuel Batista was at one of these conferences in Costa Rica last year in September. I guess that´s where hes has made the first contacts to the people included in this scam but unfortunately I haven´t found any connections yet.
