Were they actually given that profit rate from the Pincoin team, or promised that the coin's value would increase?

This really seems like a mess of illegality either way haha.

From the article:

> Pincoin was particularly unique in that it offered bonuses for bringing other people into the program, a tactic that might sound familiar. The scammers paid out in cash until January when they began sending iFan tokens. Then, last month, the team vacated their fancy offices leaving only an oddly well-made – if incomplete – website in its wake.
