Are you just trying to say the smart contracts can have bugs in general?

It's trivial to write a bug free money doubler smart contract. The logic needed is VERY simple.

If somebody is smart enough to verify that a smart contract does what it says on the tin, they should be more than smart enough to realise that crypto doubling is always going to be a scam.

The idea is that it is possible to set up an actual doubler smart contract that is not a scam. Sure it's not profitable to do, but it is a little funny.
