here's how it went from my perspective: > shadi worms her way into my feed > starts encouraging me (softly, but persistently) to get hyped > keeps trying to get me hyped (I don't lol) > finally shares the website; as promised, I read it > ask Shadi to remove Degen iconography (hats everywhere) > she seems weirdly desperate for my approval and for DEGEN's participation; I decline, pending an actual product and not just some ponzu with extra steps > she removes Degen logo (mostly) from website > I promise to revisit JRI once they have a... product... and not just a dubious financing mechanism. > fast forward a couple of weeks, the project is doing well ostensibly (ie, the token price is up only for /reasons/) > shadi circles back around to me for an "investment of 10k" > I decline, again. Something is... off. Either they're incompetent or... > they rug

@shulzzz
it was a long con, too. as far as crypto goes. i had engaged with shadi for a couple months prior to ever hearing of JRI, so i joined the discord but told her/them i couldn't endorse the project, wished best of luck, thought that was that. then i saw a fake endorsement with my name on it. which was mixed emotions -- on one hand, SCAM BAD! on the other, hey look ma, i made it! ;) glad you avoided any losses

good hustle, that one. speaking of, how were the losses? I didn't see much clamor when they went down but maybe it just didn't hit my echo chamber. could also just be a calculated loss among memecoin gamblers and unremarkable (as losses go).
