DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

"METAMAX - ACCELERATE USER EXPERIENCE WEB3 PAN-ENTERTAINMENT ECOSYSTEM, DESIGNED TO HELP ENTERPRISES ACHIEVE BUSINESS GROWTH." "We are in an era of constant change, and METAMAX is actively bringing real changes to the entertainment industry through Web3.0 technology. Your bottom line is our bottom line, and all delivered quickly and cost-effectively."

 

"Rocky Mountain Science and Technology, Inc established METAMAX pan-entertainment streaming media advertising company in order to improve the upstream and downstream of entertainment industries such as movies, music, and sports events."

 

"We firmly believe that through Web3.0 technology, METAMAX's products will be more accurately and safely targeted to end users of media entertainment consumption. METAMAX is committed to becoming the industry leader and benchmark, and promoting the progress and development of the entire industry."

 

"MetaMax, the world's leading WEB3 entertainment platform, is very proud to announce the official launch of the MetaMax User Forum. This community aims to provide a free and open platform for global creators to express themselves, share creations, and realize creative benefits."

 

"MetaMax will continue to develop and penetrate into all entertainment industries to help enterprises accelerate in this era of constant change, accurately locate target consumer groups, provide diversified product portfolios and value-added services, formulate personalized strategies and other means to achieve marketing and promotion goals, and improve exposure and popularity."

 

"From Manila to Cyprus, MetaMax cast its net wide, ensnaring at least 15,000 users with promises of effortless riches.

 

Watch ads, rate content, get paid. Simple, right?"

 

"The promised returns on these investment packages range from 100% to 1,200% over just 90 days. Such astronomical returns are completely unrealistic and unsustainable in any legitimate investment opportunity.

 

These types of promised returns are a hallmark of Ponzi schemes, where new investments are used to pay out artificially high "returns" to earlier investors, rather than generating actual profits from real business activities."

 

"Invest in one of their star-studded plans. Starting at a mere 90 USDT, you too could become a 1 Star member.

 

For the high rollers, 12,000 USDT bought you the coveted "7 Star" status.

 

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Your job? Watch videos, like posts, maybe even leave a comment or two. Essentially, be a professional couch potato.

 

For your hard work of thumb-scrolling and button-clicking, MetaMax promised daily payouts.

 

A 1 Star member could rake in a whopping 3 USDT per day, while the 7 Star elite were promised 400 USDT daily. Because apparently, in MetaMax land, money does grow on digital trees."

 

"MetaMax claimed this was all in service of "manipulating social media metrics" for mysterious clients.

 

Because apparently, Fortune 500 companies are just dying to pay you hundreds of dollars a day to watch YouTube."

 

"The first cracks started to reveal themselves on June 25th, when the Philippines SEC issued a warning, labeling MetaMax as a potential Ponzi scheme.

 

4 days later, an under the radar YouTube video by BinanceStuff properly named “Metamax is officially a Ponzi scheme” put the story on Crypto Rug Muncher’s radar.

 

Where there’s FUD, there’s fire, because the next day, Metamax deleted their X profile.

 

Crypto Rug Muncher continued his expose and focused on their alleged recent MetaMax Asia Branch Opening Ceremony video reportedly held in the Philippines. Which some allege was a bunch of actors or even AI."

 

"Now, with 1 arrest made, 2 suspects at large, one suspect the target of a bombing attack and millions potentially lost, law enforcement and victims are looking for answers."

MetaMax offered opportunities for users to get paid from viewing videos and rating content. That required them to invest some upfront money. After running for multiple years, the scheme started to collapse and stopped paying out on June 25th, 2024. Multiple arrests were made to those running the scheme and the investigation continues to find the others.
