I scrolled down to the bottom and see he's mentioning Komodo there. This jl777 guy who found Komodo need to go to jail, he's creating endless scam coins, jlfund, supernet, bitcoindark and a few others I forgot throughout the years... most are security fraud. I hope law enforcements are after him, all these are known to him on his bitcointalk messages but I think he have created no less than 10 scam coin/token platforms all dead and he have made tons of Bitcoins off of it.
I did mention that project to not seem so biased, I know they are not DPoS so they have little chance to offer anything like what ARK is going to and already can. They have recently hired brand managers and pr teams(wachsman, same ones that worked with lisk) and they have decided to market themselves as an ark competitor with their own version of blockchain creation. Quite literally they are pushing it everywhere and have recently pulled the old partnership lie that used to be everywhere a few years back. They have claimed they are "partners" with amazon, because they used aws to install the new blockchains on. Which is like saying ARK is partners with bitcointalk because we post here. They have even gone out of their way to pull the old rebranding bullshit out of the hat. Of course, I could not say this in the article. But I feel where you are coming from, and hopefully the communities can see through it all. Im sure people will flood their reddits or twitters or whatever soon enough.
Thanks for the info
I can keep talking negative about this scammer jl777 nonstop but it's the investors responsibility to do their own DD on this guy. Seem like he don't even want to give his identity because he know the law enforcement and the people he scammed would be after him. I bet he's relative to that steve lee guy or even steve lee himself on Komodo site https://komodoplatform.com/our-team
The only way to stop this scammer is put him in jail, he will keep creating endless coin/platform after this Komodo, it's his habit. I strongly believed he's live in the U.S and he had created endless security fraud, example is jlfund or jl777fund, something like that, which is none exist at this point but used to be top 20 on coinmarketcap.
Oh, there will be none tech invention on his scams including Komodo, just gibberish forked or copycat from others, just like vaporware scam Lisk which have no real leader/coder and talent.
I've been tossing and turning and losing a fair number of sleep on not holding KMD and LSK recently. Used to hold both, but somehow, their fundamentals and development just didn't seem to sit well with projects like ARK or even NEBL. Never thought I'd stumble on definitive leads to where on another thread. Amazing! Gonna keep my eye holes completely glued to this thread
Rather call it "sour grapes" or, just plain bullshit. KMD is a highly advanced project in the same arena as ARK with multi-level functionality. JL777 is a well known coder and early adopter of the technology. While some people confuse innovation with scamming, I can assure you he is not a scammer and the Komodo project will prosper and grow. Looks like you have been around a while, don't take these posts for Gospel, everyone has an angle and a reason for posting crap that includes inflammatory statements about "jail", that's your first clue that post is pure crap. As for useless tokens, those are utility and experimental tokens, not meant to get anybody rich but more to prove the functionality or perform a specific function in the chain. No scams there.
Disclaimer: I hold both KMD and ARK.

This may be my newer account but i have been around as long as you and the anon dev going by jl. what i posted is the truth. as for anything referencing jail, i have no comments and dont know enough about that. but i do know that he has been involved in many projects in the past, all of which i have never found interesting or bothered to study. Back then i put him in the same catagory as igotspots, with the project jumping and leaving a plethora of pissed of community members. but that is just me. I remember when we where first starting our TEC/ICO and kmd was blowing tons of money on advertising everywhere about the kmd ico. they were everywhere just raining money. then it was just jl and the founding team, they had no idea what was going on. there is an interview showing it from 2016. so the scam word is just something that is kind of attached to them and jl, due to previous shady history. also, he is anonymous so it just adds to the lack of liability/can ghost anytime/already hopped in the past mentality. im rambling, will stop now. but one last thing, you posted a link to an article which is blatant marketing false information. I wont call it lying, but it is wrong. They are NOT partners with amazon. This is false. We never said we were partners with microsoft when we created easy blockchain creation using azure(yes, ark did it first). Using the aws service which is available to anyone does not make you a partner. This marketing tactic was used heavily in the past in other projects as well and it really bothers me....
Here is the sweet interview of kmd from 2016, https://youtu.be/LxZswQWGLVg
