Reminder than Chainlink began as a money laundering scheme.
https://web.archive.org/web/20171004082719/http://smartcontract.com:80/link-copy-4
ctrl-f 'tierion'
They copy-pasted another project and made minimal changes.
https://tierion.com/chainpoint
The ICO wasn't advertised at all and the minimum stake was very high - 300 ETH. Why?
1. be Sergey, have lots of money in crypto you don't want to pay taxes on + you can't legally explain where you got it
2. create a shell company in a tax haven
3. copy a failed project, make minimal changes
4. invest in own ico anonymously with private crypto holdings
5. PROFIT - all funds in a shell company in a tax haven, legal source of funds and zero taxes.

A perfect money laundering plan, except Sergey did one thing wrong: he was too cautious, thinking that the ICO had to look believable to pass eventual suspicion.
He made it look real enough to fool /biz/ autists that pooled money and managed to invest in the ico.
Now Sergey had to deliver *something* rather than let the project disappear - too many prying eyes on him.
The rest is history every linklet knows, but interprets wrong. The nearly total silence was not the result of NDAs, but of panic - there was nothing to communicate, as the project was never meant to be actually made.

*Something* will be released eventually, but how good can the end result of a botched money laundering operation turn out to be?

I came late to this city so I only know fragments of the deeplore, is this that project that had two Sergeys, one of Dark and one of Light, one who betrayed and one who went on to create the LINK network? or am I thinking of something else

Began? Shit it still is a money laundering scheme. Do you understand what Mixicles are?

Chainlink does two things: money laundering and "proving" foreign whores are of legal age. Ari talked about it in the fireside chat.
