That's pretty sad if it managed that they just sold data about the people who trusted in this Pi network. It's just not gonna work, you know? I do a lot of people asking to "buy" the Pi they have generated but all I see with it is a possible scam.
I see people selling their pis but no one is interested on buying them, where it is actually listed and are there real market on it?
IIRC, there's an exchange that made one copy cat of it for it's trending and that has became popular for a while but it's not the actual pi that these people are mining but it was just an exchange made token with the same name.
Well, with that exchange, it has able to manage to ride on that hype and made lots of money.
