Besalel, there’s a big gap (pardon the pun) between success and a scam.
Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it didn’t work as conceived.
But I think you’re way out of line to level baseless accusations against NASI, together with vicious personal insults.
There is “zero evidence” of any bad intentions or foul play, and you should brush up on hilchos loshon horo/rechilus/motzi shem ra, and see what we’re allowed to say when there is zero evidence.
