Description

Starpronto offers to teach about investing in options. Initial contact was with Sophia Marlowe via WhatsApp who invites you to a thread on Signal. There are multiple "lessons" per day by Gregory Hawthorne and Adrienne Merrit. Mostly promoting their ATHENA system and the STRO coin. Sophia has the intended victims set up an account on SLOGEM exchange. She will also offer to help setup an account on Coinbase to facilitate money transfers, or P2P transfers with cash. The vast majority of "users" in the chat are bots. They lure you in by running a "test" on Athena and give you $700 to trade with. One or two trades per day leads to incredible 100-150% gains and you quickly see the amazing potential of athena. After returning the $700 you are encouraged to sell your underperforming stocks and make transfers to SLOGEM. The lessons continue. The trades continue. Your account continues to grow. At some point along the way, your wallet will locked, meaning you are unable to withdraw funds. When this happens, you’ll be provided a trading signal that doesn't pan out and your account will be wiped clean of funds. Immediately following this you will be removed from the group chat and all communication will cease.
