Small research for Russian based ICO - Suretly (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1879035.1500)

Participants at least should think of making an enquire about SPV(E) foundation and money transmitting schemes. According to project’s WP there was main investor during ICO – an entity called SURcoin pte.ltd (Singapore), which will get options to buy 15% of Suretly’s shares and will initiate tokens issue. SURcoin pte. Ltd will issue SUR-tokens which will be offered for a
crowdsale to all willing parties in exchange for different cryptocurrencies: Ether, BTC, LTC and Waves.
Currently it appears to be a bit perplexing, due to the facts expounded below:

1) My team had found out SPV structure for Suretly ICO, it is OOO "ШУPЭTЛИ" (Suretly LLC, registration number 5407966196), which is Russian based entity from Novosibirsk. It appears that at this moment authorized capital numbered by only 10 000 Russian rubles (which is equivalent to approx. 170$), which is law stated minimum for commercial entities in Russia.
2) Authorized capital is controlled by one private person (who is Russian resident). Thus it still seems to be no authorized capital transaction between “Suretly LLC” and “SURcoin pte. Ltd” (Singapore), despite that operation was clearly declared to be.

All information was legally obtained from open sources. All conclusions and judgments (if any) are evaluative furthermore you should clearly understand information above do not negatively label the whole projects as it generally seems to be ok.

For an illustration I will post here some information about one of well known Russian ICO projects - https://zrcoin.io/ which was the first commodity-backed blockchain option as claimed (not a commercial!).
I’m not to make any conclusions on this project. It seems that it’s generally ok and improving. But we revealed some interesting and sometimes controversial data only from open sources which will be partly revealed here as a modest example of our capabilities.

1. Patents mismatch.
Cofounder of project - Vitaliy Merzlyakov is claimed to be a holder of 9 different patents. https://imgur.com/a/YKJF4  
Whilst official patents database know only two authored by this person https://imgur.com/a/YKJF4

2. Corporate history.
Cofounder of project - Vitaliy Merzlyakov in recent times participated as founder/cofounder in 7 different entities, 5 out of 7 were winded up and few of them were compulsory dissolved by legal enforcement.

3. Financial statements.
Vitaliy Merzlyakov currently has a 1/3 stake in Russian entity OOO «HПЦ «Цeoлит» (besides ICO SPV), registration number: 7455007210. Last few years it has stated negative financial results (loss).

4. SPV(E) structure/holding scheme
After ICO is over it’s obviously not an end of the tunnel for investors as one might think.
We analyzed activity of zrcoin project cofounders and find out their SPV structure – OOO «ЦИPКOH» (LLC “TSIRCON”), registration number 9701065073, date registered 20.02.2017.
Stakeholders: (1) LAGATA INVESTMENT LIMITED (foreign entity) – 49,01% (2) Vitaliy Merzlyakov – 25,5%  (3) CEO - Vadim Sychev -12,75% (4) Yevgeny Panov – 12,75%.
Authorized capital only 78 440 rubles, which is equivalent to approx. 1 300 USD.
We are also able to conduct more detailed research.

5. Licenses
Dunno if specifically this project needs any licenses, but there’s none of them currently.

Greetings for all honorable users!

As a “preface”
Russian ICO market has shown drastic growth lately. It’s well known for its commodity based projects, taking part in manufacturing, nature resources, agriculture, as well as virtual IT sphere. Not so long ago Vitalik Buterin stated to set up collaboration with Russian authorities aimed to develop the very first Russian government backed cryptocurrency.  
Thus considering such plans Russian privet equity holders aren’t willing to stand on a sidewalk during this tech revolution as a result today we are to eyewitness Russian ICO market growth up to 300 million USD only since the 2017 beginning.
