U gotta understand a coupla things about Russia and crypto: russians were brainwashed into believing that being scammers is cool, that scammer is the smartest one around, that it is ok to scam wealthy foreigners, because they r stoopid, morality and business ethics are virtually non existent in russia, plus crypto gives an extra layer of anonymity and safety to scammers, hence - the perfect scam is crypto scam.
