Did they even pay the advertisers?
As far as I know, the signature campaign payments were daily, BUT on the ponzi's website.
Those advertisers who were smart enought to make daily withdrawals to their personal wallet were paid until the scammers runned away. Now, those who (for no matter what reason) left their payments accumulating at the ponzi's site surely have lost it.
I confirm this ... i got 15$ and 10.5$ left there because i was afk for a few days ... so that 10.5 went bye bye
