Crypto coin company 'disappears with millions', leaving one-word message: 'Penis'

A crypto coin start-up has disappeared from the internet with a supposed haul of millions in investor cash, leaving a short, succinct message.

For hours, the site for Prodeum simply read: 'Penis'. To make the joke even better, Prodium is a medication designed to reduce infections of the urinary tract. The site had masqueraded as a blockchain start-up which would use crypto technology to ensure fresh vegetable delivery, with its own coin offering. It had reportedly raised millions in venture capital money, IB Times reports - although others are more conservative about the sums involved, suggesting that few had responded to the site's amateurish press release and initial coin offering.
