Wow, there has been quite a discussion here, which I just found. I would like to address a couple of points. If you still wish to invest in the con called AIOS, go ahead. I wanted to raise the alarm, which I did. This gives investors more information not less; which is good. I am not smart enough to know every fraud, scam or issue promoted on Steemit and I can't be blamed for not proving them false. In fact, I have looked at several other ICO's I think are frauds, but don't know how to prove it so I have to keep quiet. I saw this one and thought the world should know. I felt this was a time critical issue, so flagging and commenting was appropriate. At the time I broke the story, the ico (or preico) was going to start in two days. For speculators reading these comments - I want to point out my fraud alert posts were flagged. Had I not summoned some whale help. - my post would have been buried and no one would every know. I am not sure I like all the aspects of the voting/flagging system, but it works.- On to your points on promotional posting, I understand there can be a benefit to advertising. Disclosure, though is good. May I ask... how much did each high quality promotional post pay/(expect to be paid)? In the US stock market, journalists are expect to disclose holdings on the stock and intentions to buy or sell. It is interesting you mention bitconnect. I was just looking at that... Yeah I sort of think it is a Ponzi Scheme, but is there a way to prove it? I was also wondering if there is a good way to track, how much money went into it and at what time, because then one could predict when it would implode. Anyway, it is a free country and the I respect your right to come to your own conclusions on these issues. In this post you have expressed your opinions well; so well that it is unlikely we are going to see things the same way. Isacoin has already addressed many issues which well represent my thoughts and opinions on them so any attempt by me of long work is likely to be futile.
