I have little doubt that VytautasK is a scammer for the reasons stated here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16848420
It's amazing that he still is at large, scamming more people with spectrocoin and other sites, with all the reports published.

"As Bankera, SpectroCoin and Pervesk belong to the same group of companies owned by Mantas, Justas and Vytautas, such corporate structure, allows the founding team to separate risks associated with virtual currencies from regulated entities; hence, to be fully compliant with legal requirements and at the same time offer the best services to the clients with minimal reliance on 3rd party service providers."
We register who stands behind Pervesk - same dubious people how behind Spectrocoin and Bankera and Pacific Private Bank. Why did they found Bankera when Spectrocoin and Pervesk already are acting in the same financial sector? I think only for collecting money in ICO, trading BNK token (not regulated!) and preparing them for a "pump and dump scheme", and probably also for money laundering, as it´s already the case with well known tokens of TRON or VIBE or ...
at least fifty others ALT coins.

Bankera is proud to announce a Partnership with an Electronic Money Institution licensed in the EU
We are proud to announce a huge step towards a fully functioning banking-service platform tailored for the blockchain era. In line with our original intentions, the electronic money functionality is planned to be added to Bankera’s ecosystem through a partnership with Pervesk (the word “pervesk” means “to transfer” in Lithuanian) which is an electronic money institution licensed in EU since late 2017 and has the right to provide electronic money services across Europe with ambitions to grow into a bank one day. In a nutshell, Pervesk will provide a gateway to fiat currency payment services while Bankera and SpectroCoin will stick to virtual currency services.
In fact, our current product, SpectroCoin, has been cooperating with Pervesk for some time. Since we have an extensive experience with such partnerships, especially in the areas of KYC and AML, we are certain that Bankera will deliver the best possible product for banking in the blockchain era.

How does one stay ahead of the public? :-)
May 08, 2018, 08:49:20 PM
I need to wait a few days to be able to check some things, my bank account is empty -_-'
In the end this is all legit, so it will be impossible to put any real claim of wrongdoing on it. It might be that the only clue the future gives about what happens in the company is by the movement of their offices and assets. It is interesting to follow this though, because the nature of (white collar) fiscal fraud is that it tends to remain ahead of the rules.

I´ve puzzled ...
why Vilius Kavaliauskas has sold his Pacific Private Bank to the founders of Spectrocoin/Bankera, and I could find out only one plausible reason:
Spectrocoin/Bankera is strategically interesting for Lewben Group. The price for Pacific Private Bank could have been the secret integration of Spectrocoin/Bankera in Lewben Group. Lewben Group never reports its holdings in other companies!
Under this point of view Pacific Private Bank would farther stay at Lewben Group. The "acquisition" is only an eyewash for the public.

It's not even an eyewash, because mr. Kavaliauskas remains a sitting board member of the bank. That can be a legitimate way to structure one's interest in several parties. However, there is much more to this. Ask yourselves, what is this Lewben group?
What are we seeing here? A company?
The trade register in The Netherlands holds several entries related to the Lewben group, of which the most notable are probably the holdings, https://www.kvk.nl/zoeken/?source=all&q=lewben&start=0&site=kvk2014
Here's the main registrant's address / office seat:
https://www.instantstreetview.com/@52.365573,4.891106,343.9h,20.58p,1z
I can tell you right now.
This is textbook tax evasion.
There are several routes, but it will probably work like this:
- Company comes here and registers a holding or a similar construction
- Company uses a mechanism in the taxation system that is called [deelnemersvrijstelling], which basically is the exemption from taxation (for the holding) if taxation is done already, in another jurisdiction for example. It is a mechanism to prevent double taxations when doing a lot of transactions between or within companies here that do international business.
- Company will then notify the tax collector of this, and show that they pay tax in The Cayman Islands, Malta, Cyprus or wherever. The tax over there just happens to be 0% or extremely extremely low.
Done.
100% legit, no questions asked.

I think that this project is definitively a SCAM project. No news, no improvement.
Its right that the Bank acquisition in Vanuatu island did only for clear the image. If someone is interested i sell all my tokens. PM me if interested.

"As European financial expert explained to Vila Times, the acquisition of Vanuatu´s Pacific Private Bank allows Bankera, a small controversal start-up with highly questionable future, to get an official banking license. According to the reports in Lithuanian media, previously Bankera did not have an official license from any country."

Hello guys, you remember the full acquisition of Pacific Private Bank by Bankera in January 2018. Before this deal already three out of the four key executives have been Lithuanians.

Now here is the new managing staff of Pacific Private Bank:

In February 2018 Lithuania´s Central Bank has begun an investigation on Bankera ICO, which is still pending.

The 29th week net transactional revenue share has been paid
Yesterday (20th of March, 2018), Bankera paid its twenty-ninth net transactional revenue share to BNK token holders.
Last week, SpectroCoin generated a net transactional revenue of 108,600.47 EUR. 20% of that was distributed among Bankera token holders. This totaled to 21,720.09 EUR or 49.60 ETH (given the current exchange rate of 437.93 euros for 1 ether). The total number of tokens outstanding includes 10,000,000,000 BNK tokens of the pre-ICO and ICO, and 598,550,139 BNK tokens that were distributed by the end of last week as referral commission bonuses, bounties (for translations, promotion, etc.) and as compensation for some of the advisors. The 598,550,139 BNK tokens were issued from the tokens allocated for management and advisors. There were 10,598,550,139 BNK tokens issued in total. Since the net transactional revenue share is only allocated to issued tokens (not the total possible supply in the long-run), each BNK holder has been allocated 0.0000000046796197254833 ETH (0.00000204934586638089 EUR) per Banker.
It is also worth mentioning that the SpectroCoin community has grown by 4,598 new users during the last week, from 824,736 to 829,334.

I am not investing because their numbers do not stack up.
Also, they let us believe more than what they actually are.
Scammers or not, when did you folks last see a company to make £0 - $100m profit in three years?

"Finance specialist" Jonas. Does he have a surname?
I mean this is getting ridiculous. Some random 25-28y old boy is finance specialist with no public credentials, although he says he comes from a background of banking and audit (i guess i have to trust these "credentials"). Id expect a bit more detailed explanation if he references himself as a financial expert for "bank of the future". I mean wouldn't you? The more i look into this project, the more i see some BS con artists building some wet dream for naive people.
