What the record shows

The project raised over 100 million euros between August 2017 and early 2018 from more than 100,000 participants. Investigative reports later alleged that founders transferred substantial sums to luxury real estate through a Vanuatu-based financial institution while delaying distributions to participants in 2022. The token eventually became tradeable on digital asset platforms.
