What happened:: Keplertek was an ICO that wanted to revolutionize the AI/robotics industry by creating a platform for related businesses to launch their projects and collaborate with each other as well as investors and the larger community. After a severely flawed bounty distribution, the coin was launched on an exchange, but only announced 5 days after the Kepler team and managers had time to dump their tokens, crushing the token price to 1/10th of its ICO value. The team did not adhere to any part of its roadmap (except for the ICO portion) and the CEO has silenced the official Telegram group chat, preventing anybody from being able to ask what happened to their investments.
