In a blogpost, Bitmain clarified that any app and social platform owned by MangoCoin has no relation with Bitmain. It was also mentioned that Bitmain did not develop “Bimain Cloud Miner” on any platform of MangoCoin.
Bitmain also indicated that they might take legal actions against the brand’s imposters. The brand also adviced it existing and potential customers to be aware of imposters and make the purchase of any kind after careful deliberation. They also urged users to report any type of case that they have come across on the internet. MangoCoin’s website is down since Bitmain exposed the scam.
