    At this stage, I have no sympathy for anyone dumb enough to invest in an obvious pump-n-dumps.

      there’s more people out there than you think. your exposure to the concept is relatively niche and privelaged, i think there’s still massive chunks of the population with exploitable cash out there that cons like this seek to exploit

        I understand that, but I seriously doubt these people are losing essential money. If you can afford to buy Hawk Tuah coins for the ‘community aspect’ then they probably aren’t at risk of losing their life saving.

        There’s a big gap between what’s happening here and telescammers robbing grannies for example.

          you’re free to believe that, without proof there’s no argument either way, and in any case it’s my personal belief this kind of manipulation of assets should be illegal no matter the target audience
