DERP-049 is typically known on-chain as "Matt Trainer."
Anomalous activity was isolated to a project announcement
called "Mogul" on 2017-06-04.
Mogul was a vaporware VR/AR game design that was
presented by DERP-049 as a functional game inspired by
Pokemon Go, in the hopes of inducing eventual investment
in the accompanying token called KARMAKOIN.
The primary anomaly presented by DERP-049 is a "Get Rich
Quick" scheme. The group asserted, among other things ...
* "In just one of the games we have, a 71 year old
newbie grandma made $6,800 in her first month."
* "On the high end, one 'player' bought a $5 million Las
Vegas penthouse from his game play."
* "Yes you really can make money by playing a game. If
a newbie 71 year old grandma can do it, so can you."
Also in the announcement thread another aspect of
DERP-049 known as "Stan Larimer" stated:

Another possible aspect of DERP-049 known as "The Johal
Files" stated:
