Lab Mode

The project 'Prime Trust' refers to a crypto custodian that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2023 and is currently in liquidation (wind-down effective Jan 2024). The submission contains demonstrably false claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience reach of 'everyone,' which contradict the B2B nature of the former business and its current defunct status. The real-world utility is effectively zero or negative due to the cessation of services and loss of customer funds. The submission appears to be low-effort or automated, ignoring the critical context of the company's collapse.
