Topic: 14million dollar stolen by a thief on tuxedo ( keplertek.io ) - page 6. (Read 1442 times)

I also took part in the bounty campaign of this project. Before taking part I studied the project, watched all their videos, conferences, and I was not suspicious of everything I saw. The project team looked real. Since the identities of all those involved in the scam are identified, it will not be difficult to find them and investors will be able to return at least part of their funds.

I agree with you! It’s high time we start to self regulate crypto before it’s too late! That’s why everyone should expose, name and shame these fuckers so that they cannot continue to scam fresh unsuspecting investors! If you were scammed or cheated by these miscreants, you have a duty to inform others! Share this article far and wide, and report to the relevant authorities. Make sure they don't scam anyone else ever again!!

You are correct of course, but you must remember, with hindsight comes clarity!
It took me almost two years to accept the reality that Keplertek was a scam from the beginning! Looking back now I can see the obvious warning signs, and I kick myself to have been so stupid as to buy into this con, and it hurts!

You must remember that the original white paper was changed several times shortly after the pre-sale, so it was more awe inspiring and inviting in it’s original form. I know now that the hundreds of ICO ratings agencies giving them full marks, are nothing more than paid shills! The same goes for all the publications in crypto media, painting a picture that this project will one day take on Silicon Valley.
And they had a large bounty campaign promoting them across the board in every sphere.

Like any successful con, they spent most of resources on building a public image of grandeur. They had countless videos featuring themselves and employed an impressive team of staff, of whom more than half of them were oblivious to the fact that they are part of a scam, and later became victims themselves of this scam, some even more so than investors.

One thing that struck me ass odd at the beginning, but also made me fall for this con, was that they always insisted on speaking to investors on video chat, showing off the team and providing full access to the CEO and team members. They did this up to the point where it became annoying chatting to these bunch of Georgians almost daily. So this should have been a huge red flag to me too!

And if had read all these articles about Reuben Godfrey before, instead of all the good things found in a google search, I would never have invested:

https://shitcoinoffering.com/another-godfrey-scam-kepler-technologies-collected-14-million-bucks-preparing-exit/

So to add to your post, yes we should have checked and known better as investors, but without hindsight, things are not so obvious.

I doubt we will get our investments back, but at least the world will know who these two scammers are, and they will have a hard time fooling future investors in their new scams.

These are part of the factors still adding to why the marketcap generally has not totally gone out of bear market, imagine such huge amount of money leaving the marketcap, because I am sure that whoever the culprits are, they will not leave the stolen fund which is either inform of coin or token on the wallet, they will change it immediately to fiat for withdrawal.

All hands really need to be on deck to flush out these situations from occurring again, exchanges needs to do more on securing their platforms, investors needs to strictly choose reputable exchanges even if they are expensive, while wallet holders should not be lazy in making sure all the security tools available to us are activated.

Just curious, did any of you read the whitepaper? If you did then why invest? It seems poorly written and very vague.

What concerns me is the ICO rating sites have this thing a really good rating when it should have been warning signs. I guess when the gold rush fever sets in people just dismiss red flags.

I hope you guys get your money back.

I am a investor from Canada who purchased a substantial KEP in the pre-sale. I have been following these threads from the the sidelines ever since the article https://shitcoinoffering.com/another-godfrey-scam-kepler-technologies-collected-14-million-bucks-preparing-exit/ was first published on reddit. Coming here, I first thought that people were being paranoid and overreacting because Keplertek had missed their deadlines so many times.
I believed the fairytales Giorgi were telling everyone, and decided to keep quiet and watch what happens. But after a few weeks of reading these threads, and seeing through the lies and contradictions stated in the official group, I can no longer remain quiet and be a spectator. A friend of mine from the E.U who was one of the founding investors that are close to the core team, literally confirmed my worst fears and that most allegations in the article and this forum are true. He told me that they are basically living in fear of retaliation, and that Giorgi has already kicked out and banned more than half of the admin team, in fear that they were exposing the truth to investors, and he fears that he himself and the few remaining founders will be next inline to be kicked out.
The last straw for me was seeing the screenshots where Giorgi banns Americans without refund, because I realised that will likely include us Canadian investors too. He then goes on to mock them by stating he is with SBScapitals now, based in Singapore where they can’t touch him.

I had enough and decided to do all I can fro my side! This weekend I filled in that SEC report, it’s long and a bit of a pain, but it’s very thorough! I also shared that article, and the others involving Reuben Godfrey, in all my investor groups and on Facebook, Twitter, reddit, medium and linkedin. So that others may be warned and be on the lookout for these criminals! I realised that we investors get robbed, and will continue to be robbed, because we allow these criminals to get away with it, and continue to create other scam projects. As of this weekend I am no longer a spectator and helpless victim! I choose to take a stand and do something myself. I will expose and name and shame these criminals everywhere, and make sure that they won’t be able to pull of another scam under the same names and faces in crypto! I will encourage other victims to stand up and report to the authorities and hold these scammers accountable! And this goes for all scammers not just the Keplertek ones! We have had enough, and we will clear up the crypto space from within!

That’s exactly what they[the entities committing white collar crime] wants you to believe. The feeling of helplessness apathy, like you’ve just lost in a gambling game and theres nothing you can do about it. That is not true, but crime syndicates work hard to cultivate that feeling in victims, in order to keep them passive and make them accept the crime that was perpetrated against them. The first part of your statement is correct though, and that is that every investor should do due diligence before investing and know who the team and advisors really are. And why it is important to share articles like the one about Godfrey with everyone in the community, so that people can be aware who to look out for and be diligent in spotting these fraudulent projects before they rake in millions from the unsuspecting  public.

That’s true and these thieves operate with impunity just doing one scam after the other. The problem is two fold, there are a lack of sufficient crypto regulations in many countries, and in general the investors and bounty participants neglect to hold them accountable, they don’t have the resolve to go after them in large numbers and place pressure on the local authorities to act, and don’t have much in the way of evidence and information about the fraud and the syndicates involved.
We are trying to change this at the SEC and place pressure on foreign governments to act accordingly, but we can only do so if enough victims come forward, and and take the time to submit a report to us with as much info as they have and the value of their losses. So we urge you and everybody else in the crypto world to start standing up against criminality, to ensure that every time you become aware of irregularities in a crypto project, you see it as your duty to report to us and your local authorities, and you take the time to educate your fellow investors and other victims on the options for recourse that exists, and share with them our contact details!
That’s how you can change the crypto space from within!

That's the reason why it is important for us to check on the project's team well. I have been scammed for a couple of times and we can't blame the whole project for that. We can't do anying but to accept the fact that we have been scammed and learn a lesson from it.

Reports say that many of scammers are openly cheating bounty hunters and investors. But only little of them have faced action. It means there are lax regulations. I give you another fraud exchange, BiteBTC, which has scammed hundreds of investors of million of rupees. But surprisingly, they are running their scam business without being caught. Complaints have been lodged against the exchange. But no action has been taken against it. The question what is preventing such scammers from being booked?

Hey everyone!
Do you even realise that your whole statement is a crying fucking contradiction you tool?? 🤦🏽‍♂️

You state that all accusations are false, “but” the bounty campaign was a huge disaster! 😂 And you neglect to explain why Wapi has screwed you over?

No my boy, the rest of the project is not less of a disaster than the bounty campaign is! And what pisses investors off, is that it’s not due to incompetence, and rookie mistakes as many believe, no, all the indicators are pointing to fowl play here!

And why do you refer to Mariam’s Nephew Jaba, as the “core team” ? That is a false statement, like you accuse others of, so liberally. You should have just been truthful and said “Giorgi’s lackey who was so unlucky as to have the bounty fuckup dropped on his head, is trying his damnedest to thumb suck the rewards into a passible allocation in order to silence the furious bounty crowd”. A little honesty goes a long way!

Why would the previous employees of Keplertek, who were misled and paid short, then either fired, or pushed out, have any reason to lie about the true inner workings of this scam project? Especially when Topuria blames them for the failure of this project, and calls them incompetent and scammers and other slandering derogative names.

You state “ All the accusations to Kepler are False!” How dare you state this, when even your CEO has admitted most of what was said here? I have seen and listened to the evidence along with many others here, including SEC representatives, journalists, investors and other scam fighting entities. I have talked with founding members who want to come clean and clear their names, and members of the wezglobal group contracted to manage the community. I have seen where your CEO has told investors their money “has been frozen” and mocked them by stating he is “now based in Singapore where they can’t reach him through the authorities” The arrogant fucking prick!🖕🏽

You call us trolls because some people uses an alias, I call you a fool, because we are dealing with Godfrey and Topuria here, who are well known scammers, and if they can screw over their own employees, who knows what else these fuckers are capable off?
The majority members here are not trolls, but they are investors, bounty participants, former employees of Keplertek, former contractees, founder members and platinum investors as well as scam hunters and investigators.
I myself am part of a team of ethical hackers, who has one purpose and that is to identify, expose, destroy and bring to account the high profile scammers that prey on the innocent hard working people, whilst ruining the crypto space for everyone 🖕🏽 I am actually surprised there are so few trolls active here, considering that there are so many people who has been screwed over, and are livid with raw anger and hate calling for the blood of these common fraudsters!
So if you want to report anyone for false accusations, report your own fucking lying, scamming false ass🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽!!

And while you’re at it, ask yourself if the few worthless KEP tokens as a payoff  that you have received, is really worth it, for enabling this cocksuckers to screw innocent people, when you know very well that they will just as gladly, screw you over in a blink of an eye when your usefulness expires? Or have they also promised to take you with them, to go hideout in Singapore?

Hey everyone!
All the accusations to Kepler are False! None of the Kepler Team members could say something bad about the project!

Please report anyone who put false accusations without any proof!

Regarding Kepler Bounty Campaign - Kepler Bounty was disaster and Bounty manager have never checked the bounty list!
The core team is working on the issue now.

BTW I see trolls who specially got registered to troll the project LOL

We doubt that this is in fact a realistic amount as claimed by the CEO, but still a large amount of money was stolen from investors. The CEO has outright refused to give any refunds, that is why investors has turned to us and to the authorities to assist them in getting justice, and hold these low life scoundrels accountable wherever they may try to hide.

Yes, I've been hearing all about this supposedly scam projects by not paying their bounty participants and keeps delaying it. So I'm assuming that this project is really a scam and this is another black eye for the community and it's sad to hear that bounty hunters after many hours of working and trying to promote the project will not get what is due to them. Something should be done here.

I am not an investor, but I am part of the punishers! We are ethical hackers who have taken up the fight on behalf of the investors, and to clean up the crypto space. And yes that is exactly what we are doing, holding these scammers accountable and bringing punishment! FYI many investors and bounty participants we have spoken to, has already initiated legal action, and are working with authorities to bring justice here. So if you are involved with this project, it’s important that you too take a stand and report to the authorities, they are represented in these threads, and you will find all the info and contacts if you scroll up a bit 👊

what a pity, stolen around 14m$ was a big number of money, so how that project refund investor money whos already lost there.?

so,why u not try to take a something to punish them , like u know
recently sparkster also scam , with ian ballena of investor.
and they want to take the team to jail.
u a investor right ?

Well that happened to you and loads of other investors  who dared to ask uncomfortable questions.
They banned everyone who challenged them. Then they deleted all the questions everyone asked that may expose or embarrass them. And after that they locked the group so nobody can ask anymore, then used a bumping service again to increase the member numbers with fake profiles, so that things don’t look so bad. And that’s how we got to the useless platform to pacify the investors.

I won’t even bother contacting arri or any other, a few threads back you’ll see he’s one of Giorgi’s enforcers and likely part of the whole scam. You’re not missing anything either there is nothing going on in the official group, as everyone was banned.

Is it is a huge amount this type of things are also happened in this current technical development economic kal world but we cannot do anything against them and I will always makes cheating than you people who don't have a huge experience about the current system of cryptocurrency.
