Crypto Scam PlusToken Just Moved $67 Million Worth of EOS

It’s been numerous months since PlusToken, the $2+ billion Bitcoin scam, has emerged from the digital money sequence of media reports. 

For those that need a refresher, here’s one: through the span of around a year, con artists to a great extent centered in Asia figured out how to accumulate billions of dollars of Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, and XRP, and different cryptographic forms of money. 

The con artists worked a “wallet” called PlusToken, which guaranteed clients exceptional yields on their stores. The wallet normally highlighted an arrangement of motivations that made a pyramid of clients.
