So, should we try to do anything about this? 450 BTC (I did not check this number) is over 200 000 USD, should motivate legal actions involving the police. Question is if we have the energy to do it.
It is actually a very simple scam, it can be put together in one afternoon. The fake "ID" of the company consists of:
* The address on the webpage is claimed to be "Mirae Asset Tower 166 Lujiazui Ring Road Pudong". If you google "office space, rent china" this is a top hit.
* They registered the domain www.scryptsmining.com under a false name and address.
* ANITA TANNA
* 8 NARRABUNDAH ST
* MUDGEERABA
* Fake phonenumber
* Free email account
* Australia
* This is a timeshare/villa renting facility of some kind, comes as top hit if you Google real estate Australia.
*Register with cryptostocks
No verification of your ID is needed for any of this.
Obviously the person never was in Australia or china. Most likely never owned any mining hardware (dividends just came from giving out the coins obtained from selling of "stocks"?). Everything looks fine, everyone is comfortable that this is legit, and here we are.
What we know for real is that www.scryptsmining.com is on IP: 35.59.11.6, this is owned by http://www.ovh.ie/ according to the RIPE database. This is a very legit European company. They don't take cryptos for payments, only credit card or PayPal (which is just a "proxy" for CC anyway). Of course these can be faked or you can use stolen cards, but this is more complicated and if this/these person(s) is/are just weekend scammers who scored big and not hard core criminals they probably did not. The hosting company should actually have the real name or CC-number of the individual who paid the bill for hosting. Not that they would tell any of us, but they would tell the police.
Another idea is cryptostocks, the should have the wallet address to where these payments went. If one know that, it should be possible to in the blockchain find the transaction IDs and then see to which wallet the money went and also to which IP (Or am I wrong?!?). The ISP who owns that IP should know which individual had that IP at a given day, even if the IPS are dynamic. Again, they need to give this info to the police (at least in Europe, right?).
I have no idea how this works, where we should file a complaint (which country?), but perhaps France? OVH is in France I believe? Anyone knows the procedure to file a group complaint or whatever it is called in this case?
Question is if we have the energy to do it, we are many people who lost relatively "small" sums (I survive my loss and we all will) which is why they expect to get away with this, but it is not right and I am willing to do something. On this thread I am sure there are someone smarter than me who know these ways, I am willing to step in with what I can do.

The amount 450 BTC calculated as follows.
Total shares hold publicly = 10,925. If you look at the trading history most of the shares has been sold at @0.040 + early shares has been sold at much higher level except last few shares. There are other transaction
where ppl went directly to him to buy shares which is not held as public shares.
It mean BTC = 437 + Extra which will be more than 450 BTC.
Hope this is correct
