SolaRoad reboots collapsed Ponzi as Laniakea
Following the collapse of its original Ponzi scheme, SolaRoad is rebooting the scam as Laniakea.
SolaRoad’s original Ponzi scheme ran through Acoin and SOD. Both shitcoins have no value outside of SolaRoad itself.
SolaRoad’s “AI Ocean” blockchain grift is gone. Laniakea being pitched as a more broader “public chain”.
This is of course another ruse to hide SolaRoad’s rebooted Ponzi behind.
Said Ponzi will operate through the newly created shitcoin LKEA.
SolaRoad’s Acoin and SOD are presumably abandoned.
As SolaRoad’s owners scramble to cobble together marketing nonsense to feed their investors, specific details of the rebooted Ponzi have been left out.
SolaRoad’s original Ponzi saw affiliates invest $100 or more of tether, on the promise of a 1.5% daily return.
Attached to this Ponzi scheme was referral commissions, financially incentivizing recruitment of new investors.
Expect a similar model with Laniakea and LKEA.
SolaRoad lasted roughly two months. MLM Ponzi reboots tend to collapse faster than their predecessors, so I expect I’ll be putting out a “Laniakea has also collapsed” article pretty soon.
SolaRoad is believed to be run by Chinese scammers.
Due to targeting of investors outside of China, it is unlikely Chinese authorities will do anything about the scam.
Update 6th June 2023 – Laniakea appears to have flopped.
On June 5th SolaRoad announced yet another reboot. This time SolaRoad will reboot its Ponzi with SOD-PLUS token.
SolaRoad’s SOD-PLUS Ponzi is supposed to launch on June 6th.
I don’t think ACOIN or SOD even ever existed. I could not find them on pancakeswap, geckoterminal or dextools.
You brought in $BUSD (I believe) to buy ACOIN through their smart contract. Staking the ACOIN through their smart contract yielded you SOD.
You then could swap the SOD through their app into $BUSD (I believe). So, I believe ACOIN and SOD were simply internal game tokens, and not actual crypto.
I never did find any decentralized price data on either coin.
Wouldn’t surprise me. I treat Ponzi coins/tokens as internal game tokens anyway – nobody outside of the scam is ever going to be interested.
Sure there were articles on Laniakea in top journals. They all deal with the galactic suoer-cluster of stars called Laniakea!
I guess that is where this clutch of scammers got the idea of “Extrapolation of astral trajectories” but totally incorrectly with Geological Exploration!
Article updated to note Laniakea flopping and SolaRoad’s new SOD-PLUS token Ponzi reboot.
