Aleksey Muratov’s Prizm and Roy Membership Ponzi schemes have collapsed.
Each the Prizm and Roy Membership web sites have been pulled. Muratov continues to string PRIZM traders together with “Prizm Area”.
At time of publication the Prizm Ponzi’s authentic area (“prizm.membership”), has expired.
WHOIS data recommend the area was deserted and expired on or round Might seventh.
Muratov’s Prizm reboot, Roy Membership, is configured to dam entry to all net guests.
We are able to plot Prizm’s collapse round mid April, marked by a closing pump and dump.
PZM’s each day manipulated buying and selling quantity vary dropped from ~$500 to over $2 million, to a each day common of just some thousand {dollars}.
Roy Membership noticed the launch of a UMI shitcoin. I don’t suppose Roy Membership’s UMI was ever publicly tradeable, in order that’s most likely simply been quietly deserted internally.
Muratov seems to nonetheless be stringing Prizm traders (now PZM bagholders) alongside by Prizm Area.
Not likely positive why he’s bothering, because it’s unlikely overseas traders are going to have the ability to come after him in Russia.
Muratov’s ties to Donetsk may also make it tough for Russian authorities to take motion internally. Ukraine actually isn’t in any form to be policing Ponzi schemes in the mean time.
