Topic: 14million dollar stolen by a thief on tuxedo ( keplertek.io ) - page 5. (Read 1442 times)

i know this will happend , the project it self not going well, they keep delaying market release. and now bounty hunter didn't get any payment. We should gather and sphread this negatif news to all their investor

You have to calm down and always do the right things, the authority might be unfair but it still good to be patience.
The stolen amount is huge, and its a big deal in cryptomarket those projects are the reason why ICO's right now are not a good place to put your money. Don't believe on any ICO without doing your task, they can give a lot of promises but it can also a false promises.

It's a shame that people still believe in projects like this. You can understand immediately that this project scam - low scores, not a finished product.....

  It’s really so irritating being caught up in this Keplertek mess. He promises us we will go to an exchange this week to dump our tokens, but he doesn’t tell us which one or when he’ll unlock our tokens.He spend more time tracking peoples IP address then he does working on this business. My husband has forbidden me to sign up to the stupid platform, he says it’s nothing but a phishing site to steal our info.I am so so frustrated and tired of this mess. 

I have never participated in a bounty campaign, but I will never trust an institution who screws over their bounty manager, and rob the participants in a way Keplertek did a year down the road. At the beginning they promise the hunters fantastic rewards, getting them to do free marketing by working their asses off writing articles making videos and posting everywhere and internationally. Then after they took as much money from investors as possible, they just discard the bounty participants, and goes on being hostile to them and banning them etc.

An Escrow account will certainly go a long way to solve these issues, but I haven’t heard of many startups who actually applied that to their bounty. It should become a norm in crypto!

This is exactly what the problem is in the current market! And I can bet you that the investors who were screwed over here with Keplertek will not run and invest the same amounts of money in the next ICO that comes along, no matter how legit and transparent they may be! These cocksuckers really cause more damage with a knock on effect then even they realise(not that they care) but it hurts everyone.

I’ve heard from a founder investor that the CEO told them the tokens will be dumped this week on a small unknown exchange, and this will probably be the end and exit from this whole saga.

This is the reason why we need escrow for bounty tokens, although escrowed bounty tokens is not a thing now but there are some projects that did escrow for bounty tokens, and i hope it will become a thing in the future so bounty hunters wouldn't get scammed. you can check bountyhive if your looking for a bounty since they do hold bounty tokens after the kora incident.

Seriously, the more we see and hear sad news like this the more the need for government regulation in the crypto space, otherwise, such bad behavior will always put a dent in this space and scare good and institutional investors away, this undesirable elements with their bad intentions has made ico's to be suspicious and not worthy of investors time any more,
these are among the reasons why IEO will have better chance of surviving, ico's are gradually losing their value, investors are afraid to invest on ico's now, bounty hunters are also at the receiving end, such pathetic behavior

A few rotten apples have ruined the ICO space for everyone 🖕🏽 Because of them(fraudsters like Reuben and Godfrey), no sane person will invest serious money in an ICO, and institutional investors and funds will not even suggest it their boards. So the victims of these rotten chicken thieves, extend far beyond just the investors, bounty participants, contractees and staff who were directly involved! This is the knock-on effect of criminality, often overlooked and neglected. If you read those articles about Godfrey, how he’s been involved in numerous scam projects globally throughout the years, acting with impunity even in the early days in Ireland, it will give you a better understanding of the extent of this problem. Think of the countless brilliant young entrepreneurs, who could have had the opportunity to get their ideas into a reality through using an ICO. Now we will never know if ICO’s could have given birth to the next Mcrosoft,Tesla.IBM etc. etc.

It makes me sick just to think of it, all the advancements ICO’s could have brought to developing countries and new technologies, all ruined by a handful of greedy rotten conmen like these two dickheads🤮  

That is why everyone in crypto who is not busy scamming others, should take a stand!
You can start by exposing them to the world, by sharing these articles everywhere across board! You can watch out for new scams that they try to launch, and warn people early. You can call out all those fake ICO ratings agencies, and ask them wtf? And to those who were directly affected, instead of just bemoaning the situation, take the time and do the little effort it takes and report them to the relevant legal authorities(just scroll back, all their details are posted throughout this thread) and demand action and justice!! Then make sure you warn others, and share these articles too!

  Yes, and who now does not steal. Or a project that will only pay money every week. 100 weeks to pay hunters tokens. Who needs these coins with this approach. There are good projects and there are scammers. Let's face it.

How much for all the time it was Scam and for some reason I have never seen someone actually punished.Why not run the ICO yourself? .But seriously, they are fed up with these scammers. They are like a cancer tumour on a healthy ecosystem. I hope the project team that the author is talking about will be punished for cheating

We cannot actually expect success in any of the new ICO due to several problems faced by a lot of them. First their too many competition on their part, there are less investors to gather around because there are so many new projects that we thought was good. Second the market had been in its worst since dropping prices had been so common with the bearish trends. Third so many ICO had turned out to be just a scam which makes their possible investors fear that they might be scammed as well and so the market goes low. Because of these people are moving away and ICOs left uncertain but there are those that have made themselves big. It is actually up to how the team have manage to promote their ICO. If these people are really scammers they should be taught a lesson. Legal actions should be done to them.

The sad thing is that they are just paid shills! You can see that Keplertek has hundreds of these positive ratings from numerous ico rating agencies. Investors should just disregard them entirely when conducting their research, as they have proven to be unreliable!

Wow! Sorry to hear about this. I think more people need to call out ICOBench and other rating websites for not catching fraud nearly as much as they should. The website states they were rated 4.8 by ICOBench. It's this type of conduct that has made me sour on the whole idea of ICOs.

Sometimes you need to take justice into your own hands and not rely on the authorities.

Though the telegram channel is very active, that doesn't mean that it wasn't a scam. Wow, keplertek has a huge cpurage to do that because of that 14million dollars. It was really a big amount of money that they got from collecting money from different investors. If all investors can throw an appeal then they will have a chance that the money they invested will returned to them which I highly doubt that it will happen.
Let us just be very careful next time to join and invest in such bounty projects.

This is really becoming too much to bare!
I invested a lot of money as a founder member, and I thought the lack of communication and the troubles we encountered was due to the fact that Gio was young and inexperienced and qualified to be a lawyer and not a manager. But after realising I have been lied to so long, there’s no denying this was an outright scam! He lied to us about the team, when in reality, he had fired everyone and left no one to run Keplertek while he moved on to greener pastures. What’s worst is that he just becomes more angry, and it’s scary to talk with him, he already kicked out all of our admin team, because he believe they are spies. My husband is so upset that I lost our money to this scammer, that he just want to go over there and kill him. I wish I never joined their stupid group 😭

That is what we are aiming to get done hear through legal means. Can you believe this arrogant prick has the to tell his American investors that he is in Singapore now and they can’t touch him. But these high profile fraudsters are never any good at hiding, they love the limelight too much, and we will track his ass down wherever he goes to hideout!
