If they'd actually implemented a blockchain, they would have been in the clear. No worse than many altcoins.

As soon as they would have turned the system on, people would’ve been able to sell One Coin. And it would’ve got a real price, determined by the market. Not some fake price, set by the company.

Artificial pricing is still possible in the blockchain world, it's just called staking over there
