OneCoin just pulled the same con again, but with a new coat of paint.

For four years, investors have been pumping money into OneCoin points that exist on no blockchain whatsoever. On October 8th, 2018, the company announced it would finally let those same investors buy into something else: an ERC20 token called OFC, launching on Ethereum. Same game. Different wrapper.

Here's how it works. OneCoin will sell 120 billion pre-generated OFC tokens between October 8th, 2018 and January 7th, 2019. The price ranges from €0.02 to €0.06 per token. Investors who buy in won't actually receive their tokens for nearly a year. OneCoin promises to release 30 percent in April 2019, with the rest dribbling out by October 2019.

No explanation given for the nine-month delay on tokens that already exist and have already been paid for.

The company lists several exchanges on its ICO website as places it's "contacting" about listing OFC. This matters because it reveals the entire operation. OneCoin can't list its OneCoin points anywhere—they're just entries in a SQL database, not real cryptocurrency. So the company created OFC as a workaround. Launch a token on Ethereum, convince a handful of shady exchanges to trade it, convert the old OneCoin points into pre-generated OFC tokens, and suddenly the scheme looks legitimate enough to fool another batch of investors.

OneCoin already has your money. Whether the OFC token eventually tanks is irrelevant to the company. The cash is gone.

This strategy also explains why OneCoin made this announcement instead of delivering what investors actually wanted: a public trading date for OneCoin points. That was never going to happen. You can't trade something that doesn't exist on a real blockchain. The OFC token is the distraction, the new promise, the next thing to wait for while the money stays in OneCoin's hands.

On August 23rd, OneCoin removed the OFC smart contract code from its website. The code showed nothing sophisticated—it was a cookie-cutter ERC20 contract that takes minutes to deploy. The removal itself is telling. The company didn't want scrutiny of a product that was never designed to hold value. It was designed to hold money.

Bulgarian authorities have known about OneCoin's operations for years. What they haven't done is shut it down. So here we are. The company keeps moving forward with the same script, just updating the chapter numbers. Different token name. Same old theft.
