in #news6 years ago

A crypto coin start-up has disappeared from the internet with a supposed haul of millions in investor cash, leaving a short, succinct message.

The site had masqueraded as a blockchain start-up which would use crypto technology to ensure fresh vegetable delivery, with its own coin offering.

It had reportedly raised millions in venture capital money, IB Times reports – although others are more conservative about the sums involved, suggesting that few had responded to the site’s amateurish press release and initial coin offering.

Its declared goal, before vanishing, was to ‘revolutionise the fruit and vegetable industry’, using Ethereum blockchains.

‘We’re proud and excited to bring this remarkable new technology to the world!’
