AVOID
Cryptoknowmics
TOKEN SALE
Not all scams are obvious and not all scams are equal. Scams have many parameters and scammers have a wide array of tools at their disposal in order to carry out their scam but the object is the same - to steal. They will use every trick and option in the book from blatant lying to being economical with the truth and from misdirection to propaganda to name a few.
BITCOINTALK FORUM:This is the cryptoknowmic token sale announcement thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ieo-coming-soon-on-cryptoknowmics-5168732I noticed this being promoted in a user showing personal text: "Cryptoknowmics - World's First Decentralized Media" along with a Cryptoknowmics signature. I decided to look in to it and found some interesting things:
- The first 3 pages (first 59 post) are all from newbies
- post #60 is from a Snr Member
- posts #61 to #80 are all from newbies
- post #81 is from a Jnr Member
- posts #82 to #100 are all from newbies
If I am not mistaken it shows 98 out of the first 100 posts in their official announcement thread are from newbies.
It almost carried on that way throughout the 54 pages that currently exist, all the way to the last page. Using newbie accounts, sock-puppets and paid shills to pump any thread gives an indication about the mindset of the team behind the project.
If they are so desperate for your investment they need their army of sock-puppets and paid shills to pump their thread with propaganda, then it is better to skip past them and find a different investment opportunity that has an honest team and are trustworthy.
A special thanks to trusted and respected user
nutildah because we can see by the feedback he left for some of the sock-puppets and paid shills that "Vitor Services" is behind the team-for-hire trying to generate fake buzz and trying to spread propaganda in the hope of fooling newbies and gullible investors in to parting with their cash and buying in to this scam token sale.
Update 16th October 2019: I checked the first 20 pages and pages 49+50 of their announcement thread and found
168 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services. I also added their official user accounts
CKM and
Cryptoknowmic to my list below.
Update 22th October 2019: There are now
359 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash.
Update 28th October 2019: There are now
409 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash.
Update 1st November 2019: There are now
440 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash
Update 5th November 2019: There are now
460 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash
Update 18th December 2019: There are now
678 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash
Update 26th December 2019: There are now
742 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash
Update 3rd January 2020: There are now
795 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash
Update 13th January 2020: There are now
833 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash
Update 5th February 2020: There are now
1035 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash
Update 25th February 2020: There are now
1069 accounts that are associated with pumping for hire services that have been purchased by the cryptoknowmics team to spread propaganda by pumping this trash
If I have calculated correctly, the first 200 posts in the official Cryptoknowmics thread have been dominated by 168 sock-puppet accounts associated with "Vitor Services" promoters-for-hire. Those sock-puppet accounts have made a staggering 192 posts out of those first 200 posts and I still have another 30 pages of that thread I might check but since the scam is obvious what is the point?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ieo-coming-soon-on-cryptoknowmics-5168732You will notice the ~ before each user, this is because if anybody wants to copy and paste them all in to their trust settings it makes it a little easier. you will have to remove the ~ if you want to copy and paste the users to your INGORE list instead of adding them one by one (

Next we look at the cryptoknowmic.io website. Some very important things stand out. First the terms and conditions looking at what it states and what is leaves out:
https://www.cryptoknowmics.io/terms-of-useThis has to be listed amongst some of the most pathetic Terms and Conditions that I have read. The team behind this charade have listed nothing in the Terms and Conditions to identify who they are and which jurisdiction they fall within, they also make no mention of which jurisdiction and legal action will take place in the event they decide to sue an investor or vice-versa.
There is no LLC/LTD, ownership or incorporation listed but this is definitely not a mere accident or it being an unfortunate overlook/error. This is done deliberately by many websites seeking crypto investors, it is rife and the purpose is to hide behind anonymity so when/if things go wrong (or deliberate scams take place) the owners/operators can only be traced with great difficulty.

https://www.cryptoknowmics.io/ckm-whitepaper.pdfCRYPTOKNOWMICS COMPANY ADDRESS:Even though they avoided putting their company name and address on their terms and conditions for the token sale website, what these people did was to add a London, UK address on their
website:
27 Old Gloucester Street, London, WC1N 3AX, United Kingdom and show it as their registered office.
Currently there are 831 companies registered at that address:
https://www.companieshousedata.co.uk/a/69With the exception of 1stchoice Company Formations Ltd and a few others, there are no physical companies with staff that work there but currently over 800 companies are registered there. They hire the address "27 Old Gloucester Street, London, WC1N 3AX, United Kingdom" for just £36 per year which is around 41 EUR per year or $46 USD per year:
https://www.1stchoice-formations.co.uk/london-address-services/[1] Now, since I did not find the company name I had to search around and found their Twitter account with a huge, massive fan following of a whopping 199 followers. There it mentioned the domain "cryptoknowmics.com" rather than "cryptoknowmics.io". And in the Terms and Conditions of "cryptoknowmics.com" it mentioned "Cryptoknowmics Ltd":
https://twitter.com/CryptoknowmicUK COMPANY REGISTRAR:All companies registered in England and Wales (UK) must be registered at Companies House.
A quick search shows the company was registered/incorporated on 28th June 2019:
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/12074503Here are two of the most damning pieces of information that should completely dissuade investors. First the shareholding value and then second, the nationality and residence of the owners:
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/12074503/officershttps://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/12074503/filing-historyhttps://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/12074503/officersIn its filing history pdf it clearly shows
Akhil Aggarwal as owning 80 shares at just £1 each and
Abhishek Gupta owns 20 shares at £1 each. The company has a total nominal share value of just £100 (which is around 115 EUR and around $127 USD)
They are Indian citizens, with Indian nationalities and reside in India. Effectively they have no connection to London, UK except that anybody anywhere in the world can "register" a company in the UK without ever stepping foot there or even having an office or business.
The same process can easily take place between residents of one country and them opening incorporations elsewhere such as off-shore.

SUMMARY:The fact they deliberately never made things clear about where the team would be based, as well as a host of other important factors, these people cannot be trusted. They deliberately put out enough information to make potential investors believe they were a UK based business with a UK based team. They are nothing of the sort.
There have been other examples in this forum where ID was used from countries outside the UK to register companies within the UK, all the while with stolen or misused ID. I am not stating that is what happened here but what I am stating is there are far too many red flags here including the obvious and desperate use of sock-puppets and newbies to pump 49 pages or trash in to the official thread.
With this evidence on hand everybody is advised to avoid this
Cryptoknowmics token sale.
