This is a grift I don't understand. Obviously there is no legitimate reason for it to exist, but what is the illegitimate reason? How do the people behind this scheme expect to benefit? Is it a good old fashioned pump and dump? Do they somehow expect to profit from the biometric data? Do they expect to gain political power by setting up this quasi-government? I don't get it.
