Based on the history below, my impression is:
1. CCA was a 33% shareholder in Ivy. As a shareholder, CCA had rights to any capital or income distribution.
2. Ivy raised US$16.5 million through the issue of 10 cent IVY tokens (and not IVY shares) to entities participating in what some people would call a "crypo-currency Ponzi Scheme"
3. The crypo-scheme went pear-shaped and currently IVY Coin appears valued at 0.16 cents. In other words, the retail investors in the Ponzi Scheme lost 98.4% of their 10 cent investment
4. IVY raised $16.5 million, which are capital proceeds from investors
5. The impression is Ivy had $3.94M of this $16.5M raised available for a capital return to its shareholders, of which CCA was a 33% shareholder. Therefore, CCA received a $1.3M capital return and the other shareholders received $2.64M
6. Therefore, CCA invested $99,999 into Ivy, which returned $1.5M or 14,000%; what is called a 14,000 bagger
7. The buyers of Ivy Coin, possibly including yourself, lost 98.4% of their investment
8. Therefore, money was transferred from the naive to the shrewd, as is characteristic if any so-called or alleged "Ponzi Scheme"
