Looks like dogedigital is in over their head on a promise he made to sustain price of RBIES, not a scam but also not good looks.
That's the clear scam territory. MoneyPot made a hard promise to support the price of rubies, directly and indirectly profited on it -- and then when it came time to fulfill their promise -- they just laughed at people who believed them (and DogeDigital has even gone so far as to leave negative trust on two people who complained about being scammed). This puts it in unambiguous scam territory.
My hypothesis is that MP will/is buy backing back the now worthless rubies for cents on the dollar and then once they acquire enough announce they are "now" honoring their promise, and thus they did nothing wrong and banking on people forgetting how they screwed their most loyal customers.
nothing will help Moneypot! even they pay back the promised compensations for Investors no one should trust them!
regarding RBIES I would say: as soon Dogedigital aka moneypot declined to keep his floor promise it was a SCAM
your hypothesis is also mine, but also this scenario will not help them! only Idiots will trust them. actually they killed themselves! it was the price for the robbery they did.
Dogedigital aka moneypot is a SCAMMER. IMO he should get more red trust from other users!
