munne

I believe Munne is a scam being run by Shimal Harichurn, a young South African student with a talent for crypto scams. His namesake account is (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=236341) - but he has had many more.

He is confirmed to have run the Coinmart.co, NUMUS, SilkCoin, and EdgeCoin scams. You can review those histories in their threads if you wish.


I believe this same person is also behind the Equinox scam currently unfolding, and Munne is his current. I believe he releases a new coin/project every 4-6 weeks or so, fleeces the community and repeats. His primary method is through flashy graphics and professional looking presentations/features. Unfortunately the image proxies for NUMUS seem to be expired, so I can't reference those. But you can still find images from Coinmart.co, the original SilkCoin infographics and wallets, and EdgeCoin.

Compare the color palettes, icons, fonts, and style of the graphics found on those previous confirmed scams, and then go look at EQX and MNE. They are, in my opinion, from the same artist's hand. MNE is also using the SilkCoin wallet, the market page is completely unchanged from SilkCoin, and many of the features are derived from the SC wallet. I believe this is just him evolving his previous client. The Munne dev also has left all of my posts EXCEPT for the one where I accused him of being ShimalH, he deleted that one. Notice how most of the defenders against my posts are sockpuppet accounts? Mchono also has no history on BTCtalk, except for being created the same day ShimalH stopped using his primary account. Which is also, literally, the same day that SilkCoin imploded and he dumped out of the coin, scam revealed.

I know the connections to MNE and EQX are circumstantial with what I've presented, and not conclusive. I have other reasons but I'm a bit too lazy to type a novel at this point, but rest assured I spent weeks collecting and collating information on Shimal after the SilkCoin fiasco. As for Munne... read that ANN thread. What did you think about that game after seeing that - did you think it was 4 years old, built by somebody else, and they simply are re-hosting it and will retrofit it for crypto? Or did you read the part about it being a AAA development cycle, see the fancy promo video, and think the game was new and their own work? I'd bet it's the latter, because that's how the OP is designed. Why did they hide the fact that they bought the game until asked about it? Why weren't they upfront about that? Why is the game an exact mirror with zero apparent changes, aside from the claimed "bug fixes". What have they actually proven to have done besides: make infographics, re-host a pre-existing gamesite, create a couple videos, and ask for a bunch of money? Anything besides smoke and mirrors and "we need money"?

This is exactly how every scam of his has worked previously. A very strong presentation is given to make you believe some professional development is being done, but the reality is that it's a smoke screen for a P&D or an  IPO or whatever else he feels like doing this month.

I do concede that this may sound crazy. I leave your own research/analysis up to you, but I bet if you start digging, you won't like the connections you begin to uncover.
