A post on another topic reminded me of this story. Happened over a decade ago. This is also the only IRL exit scam I've ever seen pulled off.
Dude posted up shop in major city. Gets settled in amongst the underground scene, has fire molly. He's got the best shit in the game, hands down, and it stays this way for months.
Finally one day he announces he's getting out of the game and has a firesale. No one questions the authenticity of the product as it's been great for months with no fail.
My buddy ends up picking up two ounces off the guy for like 900 a piece, gets home, and it's fucking ROCK CANDY that someone had braised with a torch to give it that brownish hue.
Guy dips, never to be seen again.
Fucking genius exit scam.
