Yes, it reads fairly legit too, not LLM copypasta. Wonder if the scammer was literate or they hired an actual copywriter? Probably just reworded a legit writeup of another product, though. But looking for all the "Vortax" bs they put ou there could be a trail to find them.


I'm still thinking about this. There must be a enough money in this endeavor for it to be worth expending this kind of energy in making it seem legitimate.

This raises questions.

What other endeavors, corporations, or practices do we accept as legitimate that are clearly not? FTX is one example that's obvious in retrospect. How about suspect practices that have become legitimized because of the sheer money and power accrued? I'm thinking for example banks that have been caught red-handed doing business with mafias or terrorists but have not been punished. But those are knowns. What are the unknowns?
