I got there by accident. I thought it's a scam before but now I'm more convinced. My best friend works for a company that is literally a scam (founder arrested etc). They changed owners but he wants to cash in on that. Another colleague actually bought into the whole nonsense and started something. Then we all got roped in. I want out but I'm torn because that colleague has been very loyal to me when I needed him and I don't want to be disloyal.

Fortunately, it seems he is getting disillusioned too so we might leave that nonsense behind. Technically I don't do any work there. It's just my name/face as I'm reasonably known in IT and have some clout.
