Even if the people from Cripti community are honestly helping Corona, which I believe they are if they have showed interested, that doesn't mean Corona doesn't have a hidden agenda. They could be played as well, trying to bring more credibility to the project. I'm really sorry if this is legit, but honestly, there are multiple red flags.
From reddit: "I can tell you that if it were a scam, it would be quite elaborate and not necessarily worth the amount of trouble that has gone into it. He has had countless discussions with myself and other members of the team to prepare for this launch and I honestly believe he has invested a lot of time to get to this point. I'm not saying no scammer has ever put time into a con before, but I don't get that kind of feeling from him. " - Matthew Cox of Crypti board
Remember Neo and Bee? That scam company that had key bitcoin figureheads (Andreas Antonopoulos, Tuur Demeester) in advisor roles? They opened a store in Cyprus, ran TV ads, had press releases and openings, and the owner disappeared. Lots of money just disappeared. The employees of the retail store were not even paid for their time.
Corona could be legit, but after having the experience of observing the evolution of multiple scam companies in the past (Active Mining Company, Neo/Bee), it seems that there are definitely similarities.
The other thing to think about, how do we know that these usernames are actually the people that they say they are?
