What happened: Xmoneta was a crypto messanger project back in late 2017 that held their ICO and managed to successfully reached softcap on their first ICO. In spite of the raised fund, reasoning that the accumulated funding was inadequate to pay for their project due to the crypto winter from early 2018, they refused to pay their bounty participants by saying that payment will happen after ICO ends, and with that decide to revise their WP to add second ICO --which rather strange as they already got their softcap-- that span from September to December 2018. Later in December 2018, they re-revised their whitepaper, including a THIRD ICO that spans from January to October 2019, and said that payment will only given after ICO ends.
Earlier these days, when I checked back at their project, it changed into CryptoFundBank, a completely different project with same team members and new Initial Bank Offering (a fancy way to say ICO, it seems). Upon confronting them about this on both of their bounty and main channel on Telegram, they deleted all of my chats and blocked me from both channel. Their website at
https://xmoneta.com used to redirect into their new site
https://www.cryptofundbank.com/ but it seems they've edited the site after the confrontation. Nonetheless, it is still easy to see that both project run by the same person as they shared the same team.
Now, regarding the CryptoFundBank themselves, although I haven't thoroughly read them, it appears to me that they're running on ponzi scheme, promising a huge payment on tiered investment. I wonder if I should create a separate scam accusation for this or I can just combine both on this thread?

Thus, for future reference of anyone looking for info about team and their previous projects, I would like to type some their name here manually so the result can appear on their search: Aivis Reinberg, Aivar Reinberg, Jevgenij Filipov, Austris Eglits
