I don't think Farage is the man to approach, but for sure there are influencers who get involved in this kind of thing. They're supposed to be ethical and make it clear they have been paid to promote what they're shilling, but occasionally they don't. When they get found out, it's bad for the coin, because it brings into question the judgement of the developers. Again, potentially counterproductive.
Being a con artist is as fraught with danger and being an investor. You can easily fuck it up.
