UK Financial Conduct Authority FCAThe FCA agency has asked people who have been possibly victimized by OneCoin’s alleged fraudulent activities to come forward.

About time this enterprise was properly investigated.

There's a lot of interest in Crypto and OneCoin does nothing but damage the reputation being built up by Bitcoin et al.

If you are launching a new coin, provide a disclaimer. Something along the lines of, "This may or may not work out, you are risking your money, only invest what you can afford to lose".

There are going to be scams, this is inevitable. Plus, it's the internet.
