I'm sure that all the ICO participants were not happy with the latest news about this project which is why I have decided to do some investigation.
As we all know this is the latest message from the developer:
"Hello everybody,
From the initial crowdfunding round, we only gathered 59 BTCs, the rest were investment promises that never were concluded that is why the dashboard shows other amount.
Unfortunately, we have ran out of funds at this point and we can't continue developing, the project is for sale now looking for an entity or entrepreneur to continue developing Bitsupra with our advice and support.
To contact about this sale please send email to
[email protected] ."
After a short research (very short, actually) I have managed to find out some interesting facts about this "project".
"Ernest Gafford" is also known as "Chris Rumichelm" and "Damian Gomez" which I think could be his real name.
As you all know, this is "Ernest Gafford" -

I'm sure there is more things I could find but there is no need. This should be enough to consider this project a total scam. 1 person, 3 different names and involved in raising money on every occasion.
