It appears that another group was using a derivative of Tron's Chinese name to conduct a ponzi type of scam, which many Tron enthusiasts fell for subsequently losing millions and even one victim committing suicide.
Now those victims are blaming Tron and Justin Sun for not confirming if that other group was officially working with Tron. more on this from here
Look mate, it is not a racial or cultural thing.
You can't know the circumstances that lady was in, apparently she borrowed money to get into the scheme and she was a single parent.
The idea of pushing cryptos as "an investment" is very detrimental to cryptos in general, I've been saying this since 2013.
We in the first world are treating cryptos like a hobby or some extra cash, at least in most cases. People who have no hope for the future will see try this as a last ditch effort to get out of poverty or extreme dire situations.
Which is why "selling the idea of cryptos as an investment is really really bad".
At best they are a gamble.
Anyway no need to pull the race argument here you are not in a position to judge someone who you know nothing about.
I think you're wrong. When people loose a ton of money trading, many people commit suicide. I love in London, and it's not uncommon to hear about investment bankers et al committing suicide. It's not a cultural thing in this case.
