Cryptocurrency startup Prodeum pulls an exit scam, leaves a penis behind
"Another day, another scam. A cryptocurrency startup called https://icowatchlist.com/ico/prodeum – which promised to “revolutionise the fruit and vegetable industry†by putting it on the Ethereum blockchain – has seemingly pulled a good ol’ exit scam, leaving its duped ICO investors with one word only: “penis.â€
Things first started going awry over the weekend on January 28, when the company’s website suddenly went down. In place of the old layout, the page was showing only one thing: the word “penis†on a white background. The website continues to be unavailable at the time of writing.
The startup, which claimed to be based in Lithuania, set out to build a new price look-up (PLU) code system so consumers can track where their fruit and veggies came from. This honourable cause struck a cord with numerous environmental activists and green-aware people."
