I don't know. I believe she is naive to the world. Her background suggests as such. Scammers come in all sorts of disguises. I can see her being charmed by the possibility of having her own coin and being manipulated to agree to whatever the scammers 'said' (wink wink) they were doing. I doubt she knew they were scammers. Nor do I think she would have gone along with it. She just seems like she is easily persuaded and absent of skepticism.
