yes it's because it was a PR stunt, everyone fell for it without thinking rationally.

I'm pretty sure this is just a PR, bet the website will start functioning in a few days.

You comment a lot about cryptocurrency and seem to participate in ICOs.

While you're trying to rationalize this, you have been scammed. I hope it wasn't for a lot of money but that money probably isn't coming back.

I've never participated in ICOs and I do comment about cryptocurrencies. So what? I'm also not trying to rationalize anything. I _think_ that this is a PR. That's about it. Even if this is a scam, the exit was still hilarious.

The stupid and uninformed do not deserve to be victimized.
