This has to be a scam of some sort, but i don't even see how the people at the top are making money.

Kinda sounds like a ~~great~~ way to launder money.

I wouldn’t be surprised if crypto was 99% being used for this purpose.

Don’t forget, it was popular on The Silk Road because it was hard to trace - a lot of rich folk probably saw an opportunity to move their wealth there
