So I can confirm that "Andrew Penn" was at Ball State University yesterday and that he used a Mac to access my website. Good thing I don't get traffic to my website. If anyone wants read access to my google analytics account message me.

How can you confirm it was "Andrew Penn" (his pseudonym) ? Just send the info to the one who is charge here for the investigation, there seems to be a lot of evidence now pilling up for a nice case and I'm again publicly giving this guys till Monday (Else I'm filling up an FBI tip and I guess a lot of others will do the same) to clear their head and return those stolen BTCs, come here say sorry ask for forgivness, take a little word beating and let this case rest in peace and get on with your lives. Are you guys truly going to ignore all this and take a risk of going to jail for this? This is not a petty crime, but grand theft (depending on the state, but usually anything over $1k is considered so) and if you are willing to spend up to a few years in jail for this, have a crime record (future employment), get kicked from university, be resented by your friends, look into your parents eyes with clear conscious? Well it is on you, you have been warned.

Here is how I can confirm "Andrew Penn" was on my website yesterday.
I messaged Andrew my tx address for the extra 15%. When doing so I informed him about a load issue on the IPO page after login ( sometimes it was blank after logging in) He said he had fixed it and I informed him that I was a developer and sent him a link to my website. We chatted then had a quick chat about code.
Google analytics shows 2 people on my website. One was me

the other was from Ball state universities IP address. So unless he forwarded my link I sent him to someone else from that location or was using a VPN located their, it was Andrew Peen, using chrome in a mac and whatever else google analytics captures

This IP can be really useful along with the other evidence associated with this project. please forward the info to the man in charge for the fbi/police tips. I too was involved and did the greek translation here. Im not expecting payment for this work but Im also never working again without upfront payment. I hope investors here get their money back and if the amounts on the website (for btc) are made up thats only a good thing and it shows that people may have lost way less on this debacle.

Let me get this clear.

Was it clear from the beginning that investors will send the BTC to the scamteam first and the scamteam said "we will forward the invested BTC every 8 hours to our escrowers"?
Are you kidding me? Then why do you fucking have escrowers? LOL... how stupid can someone be, to join this scam as an escrower, if this was the deal? The job #1 of an escrower is to get the money directly from the investors. If you don't follow this rule #1 as an escrower, then your are guilty in my eyes.

I would normally agree with you 100% but the escrow agreement was right there in front of everyones eyes to read. Everything was written in black and white. Its not as if the escrows tried to dupe anyone here. Everything looked to be running smooth. Btc was going to the escrow address like it should and then all the sudden a big rush came in. The Ascendancyteam decided to scam.

Another scam ICO in crypto. So sorry to all thise that invested their BTC on this one. Not all ANNs with nice, shiny pictures and worded texts can be really trusted these days.

Escrows, did you at least verify the identities of the scammers before you agreed to escrow for them?

I don't think that escrow really did this. nor I think doing this would really a duty of escrows. in first days the project was all looks legit. even they transferred the invested funds into escrow constantly before. they just scammed in the last 8 hours..

and if they were identified than they were be Identified for the investors also. not only for escrows.

Sadly a lot of the investors don't spend a lot of time digging thru all the details of the "projects" and of the identities of the scammers. And a lot just look at the people associated with it like escrows, campaign managers, and other more experienced, "trustworthy" members in here.

Look lutpin is campaigning / promoting this new coin being escrowed by yahoo, minerjones with fancy webpage & nice pictures. Then it might be good. Lol Grin

Thats right, a lot of trusted members being the face of the project so people feel safe and invest money. If you see a police officer you asume its safe to enter that place, you dont expect to be robbed.

what is really sad is that most people dont listen to others and automatically think they will be rich or something!most scam coin are called at the very start of their ann within the first few pages! if you prefer not to listen to these people .... then it serves you right to lose you money to a scam. next time listen!

Those that have invested BTC and did NOT have their transaction sent to the escrow address:

We are trying to figure out exactly how much was scammed, as we are suspecting that the amount shown (in BTC) on the website was faked.
If you invested on Friday the 3rd of February, please submit this form:

FORM LINK

If your investment went into the escrow address, DO NOT use this form.

Attempts to cheat will result in your bitcointalk account getting multiple negative feedback ratings.

WTF! God saved me from this..

Thanks, Andrew kicked me out of the team as a designer earlier, and preferred to be in that alien stuff which took them so long to prepare..lol.. And thanks God I quitted from the offer of Sparkit and they kicked me out from slack while they insulted my designs, it must be a total waste of time, cant imagine it.

This must be a good lesson from all investors. Sad

I want to add that I liked your designs. I tried to get you back but you didn't accept and I was sad at the time. Now I'm glad you didn't have to get involved in this mess.

From the start, the team was asked direct questions, but there was no answer, or they were ignoring. The only asnwer was - check all the information on the official website. It is strange that people constantly fall into the same trap.

OK! this sucks! I have been promoting Ascendancy on twitter by joining there Twitter Campaign. DAMN! I shall wait till the investigation is over before making any more tweets about Ascendancy. Trying to read the past pages to get more information.

What are you gonna tweet for them now? Their twitter has been deleted. All the promotions from the team are not gonna be paid. IF youre not an investor or were not a part of this whole damn mess theres no reason for you to post here really

Any update on the Ascendancy developer, this is too early to happen in 2017, I think people should start to ask right questions from this developers, I was skeptic about this project initially but when I saw that Lupin is the one managing their signature campaign I chose to ignore the project. I hope investors get their BTC back

Me too, luptin was unlucky manager his altcoin campaigns were all scams? Opair, Ebitz, Asc, all are scams, another manager is jamal, he is fooled by scammers too. Ignore these special 2 managers if they run altcoin signature campaigns.

The Scammers are good. They always manage to get someone with Authority to Join their Project team, Then they Get Support from the community due to the fact that The Community believes and trust Authority members involved. It was a clean sweep if You ask me. Like You said, Luptin is just unlucky . Everyone had thought Ascendancy was legit.

I doubt that you guys think he is really "unlucky"? I thought it is scam, luptin was so naive therefore he was scammed. Those escrows and managers are very earger to make money, that is the reason why they always been scammed too.

The scammer left a taunting picture clue. He's a sneaky bastard, hope you get him.

These people may be arrested quickly
if he is not responsible for his actions

They may be detained but theres no guarantee that is gonna happen today, tomorrow or next week. Though I can say that if I were him I would immediately grab F class visa and run away to mongolia like big vern did. Right, he slipped away to china but who cares whether its china or any other asian country.

The truth is out there

Everyone should try and learn from mistakes, but also there should be a way to track and expose the people behind scam, so they can never do it again. We shouldnt just say, ok its normal, because it shouldnt be.
