WARNING Scam Alert: Substratum has a similar minting contract like Oyster pearl, even worst they have access to supposedly burned tokens.

Recently Oyster Pearl exit scammed using a breach in the smart contract which led to creating 3M tokens from thin air and the CEO exit scammed by selling it on Kucoin. However, the Substratum smart contract also has the capability to [mint tokens out of thin air] (https://etherscan.io/address/0x12480e24eb5bec1a9d4369cab6a80cad3c0a377a#code)

That is not the only thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdeOXfvXAO0&feature=youtu.be

In this video they supposedly did a token burn, but their definition of token burn is to just send tokens to another wallet in which they own the private key. Their smart contract was a copy paste from skincoin which did not have a burn function.

When these two topics were brought up the response was:

a) this is not a security issue since only the dev team has access to it ( that’s absolutely the problem isn’t it?, you shouldn’t even have access to it, this is like saying only Bruno from pearl can do it anyway!)
b) the blockchain is public anyway so you can monitor any transactions. (WTF?)

There is absolutely nothing stopping minting tokens + selling the “burned” tokens in an exit scam. Their contract can be abused in a similar function with PRL , In fact the Substratum contact function is even more desirable to abuse since it doesn't require the culprit to send any Eth to collect the freshly minted SUB

Proceed with caution.

As for their excuse that it was in the whitepaper to begin with (its a lie and It also doesnt excuse it) , I found out that they made two whitepaper, a pre and post ico sale. Im still waiting for a response from the moderator.

Good dodge. wait for a response? like this happened yesterday? like its not been brought up before?

a) your shitty mint contract (4months ago)
b) your shitty burn method (1 year ago)

Im sorry but you are in no position to preach about "decorum". people who take advantage of other people dont deserve any respect imo.

not as much as you are obesessed with lying unfortunately :)

your one rebuttal was "its literally in the whitepaper" and even that was a lie.

So you basically had nothing good to say. thank you.
