Gotta say, when I read your first article, I immediately suspected something was up. While I wouldn't have said this was definitely a rug at the time, it sounded way too good to be true for me to ever consider it. For the record, I consider terms like "passive income" to be red flags anyway, cause very little income is truly passive in this world. And most truly "passive income" is some variation on your money being put to work in other places which means passive income in excess of 50%/year (even in crypto) of principle should be treated guilty until proven innocent.
