Perhaps scam is a bad description. It was obvious that the operation was a money furnace and of course you would waste money on advertising after the IPO. You don't think all those shares were sold to investors do you? They needed to appear legit to continue dumping their own shares after the IPO.
If that's the case, why didn't they sell out? They still had a ton of shares that didn't sold, and they certainly had enough coin to buy them all.
Maybe the demand wasn't there to sell out and they had better plans for those coins?
I only ever had one escrow deal with JohnK, and yes, he paid from the same address we sent to. To be totally honest, I had no idea he was gone. Is there a thread link somewhere?
There are several threads about it. His
main thread is a good place to start.
