As with the sad case BitConnect , denounced 3 months before his death , it is sometimes good to ask questions, and to ask if the accumulation of problems is not the harbinger of the discovery of a new scam , coming to add to the long list in the field in the world of cryptos.
Here, it is the crypto Skycoin that is more and more about her, but only poorly, since its listing on Binance , May 24. Propelled at around $ 35 per unit (pump!), The SKY course has since gone downhill, bringing it close to $ 7 at the time this article is written.
Misappropriation or insider trading at the origin of the fall of the SKY?
The reasons for this vertiginous drop of about 80%? For starters, an unbelievable micmac around rumors of insider trading and / or an in-house Skycoin hijacking.
According to the version of Skycoin, reported notably by Cryptovest , the trigger of this real dump would be:
"The discovery that Skycoin China's previous marketing team (EVOLAB) has diverted about 100,000 skycoins in the last six months."
But AMBcrypto brings us another version of the story: a Twitter user, Jared Dunn, claims that the audio recording he presents is that of the voice of the CEO of Skycoin, nicknamed Synth, whose words would be:
"There was a whole [Telegram] channel full of information about insider trading where everyone could get rich, trading on Skycoin. "

The pro-Skycoin claim that this was only the result of jokes, "privates jokes" about imaginary insider trading. The poor investors of Skycoin who had to see their investment capital divided up to 5 times will appreciate this "joke" (if one is one).
One of the first home-jacking of private keys of wallets of history?
But that's not all ! Then there is a fantastic home-jacking story of the CEO of Skycoin, the famous Synth , at his home.
But here, the 9 burglars (who came in number, to say the least) would not have come to steal the keys to his car (as is usually the case in home affairs). jacking), but to steal the private keys of his wallets!
After taking him hostage with his wife, the group of thieves could have extracted 18.88 bitcoins and 6466 skycoins, before a measure of protection of wallets blocks any additional withdrawal.
Rumors about this event are going well, whatever its veracity, and add to the ambient mess around Skycoin.
It's up to everyone to analyze and decide what is going on, waiting to be able to unravel the truth from the fake in all these cases. But the whole Skycoin totally lacking professionalism, especially from the point of view of communication, we say that there are many other opportunities to go exploring, before embarking on this imbroglio. As for those who have already invested, there is more to hope that these rumors are all false (hope makes live as they say).
