According to Mario Nawfal,
Did Coineal Exchange Scam an IEO or are they just incompetent?
Founder of Cybr, Shawn Key, was recently "scammed" of roughly $80K by the 16th biggest exchange as per CMC's (skewed) stated volume, Coineal.
Coineal originally listed Cybr for a "mere" listing fee of 11 BTC. It then artificially inflated Cybr token's sales volume up to a point of where it seemed (only seemed...) as if 56.56% of the total supply was sold. Everything was going well until token sales hit a halt and the IEO failed. When Shawn turned around and questioned the 56.56% Coineal sent him an excel sheet indicating that only $3,000 worth of tokens were sold.
This all resulted in the delisting of Cybr and a full refund for all IEO participants, with the founder getting $0 in return and a loss amounting to approx $80K.
Two questions come to my mind after reading:
1. What happened to that initial 80k?
2. Is Coineal also amongst the exchanges faking their trading volumes?
3. Did Coineal intentionally scam Cybr?
