Is IOTA a scam?
Yes, it has been empirically proven that their claims are lies (i.e. impossible in practice).
What about Ontology?
Yes, also a scam.
Since Jamal invested his money into this project, everything he touches must be a scam? Better hope he hasn't bought any Amazon shares or we're about to see one huge exit scam.
Jamal is one of the founders of this scam. Had Jamal been one of the founders of Amazon, then it would very likely be a scam indeed (Amazon is a scam anyways, but that's a different discussion).
You didn't choose the best examples for your defense.
