Telegram and TON Foundation: Investigation of the largest fraud with Terminal Station. Will Durov answer?

First of all, to understand this situation, we need to understand what Terminal Station is.
Terminal Station is a bot in Telegram that allowed users to earn from 120 to 127% in TON coin in 21 days! Please note: not in a year, but in 21 days. The essence of the bot game was simple: first, you buy an in-game asset - MOD, also known as the "money button", which had to be pressed once every 12 hours. For each press, the investor received back approximately 2.8% of the invested funds, IN TOTAL you could press this button 42 times, which ultimately gave 120% of the investment amount. After 42 presses, the MODs were reset, and investors received their cherished income. If the investor wanted to continue receiving income in TON coin, he had to buy MODs again and the process was repeated.

Where did such crazy profitability come from?

At first glance, this is a typical pyramid, where money from new participants provides income to old ones, but PROJECT vehemently proved the opposite and stated that they were getting such income:

1 - Selling traffic to other applications;

2 - Advertising before clicking the button (adsgram);

3 - Commissions from in-game mechanics;

4 - Affiliate tasks.

All doubts of ordinary workers that this is some kind of PYRAMID were cast aside by large crypto-influencers who advertised and fueled interest in this project, because they called their audience to invest in the project, stating that TERMINAL STATION “feeds and distributes”:

The project collaborated with the GOATS basketball team, with well-known Telegram channels and was in the information field throughout the CIS. The marketing campaign was very aggressive.

All payments to investors were made on time and without problems from October to the end of January.

The investors were happy and were swimming in their money, but only for a time.

Around the end of January, the project announced a reduction in TON rewards for future MODs and assured that this was the last chance to buy MODs with a 20% yield that would not be affected by the changes.

Users purchased MODs en masse, as trust in the project was very high.

However, 3 days after this announcement, the project reported that the changes would also affect already purchased MODs (contrary to promises). Instead of the promised 20% profit in TON, investors received TRMNL tokens, which are worthless, losing 99% of their invested funds.
