PS: I did not have time to check if the members of the TEAM actually exist

Thanks . I edited my post an add the bounty thread including the Ann thread. This will thread will be up if they don't give us Fair payment for the work done specially those who'se been doing it for 5 months(Like me). The victim here is not just me but most of the Bounty Participants who've done their part. Their team also exist. They have a video and one of them is a billionaire.

Well if the team exists and still one of them is a billionaire then it means that they are people who should at least have some sense and show some honesty, I would advise you to unite all people who somehow consider themselves unfair about this project, to post their problems in this thread. because this would bring more credibility to this thread and who knows could solve this problem more quickly and easily. it is difficult to solve a problem of this nature when participants do not bother to come together and expose their problem.

For sure they will, The news about this was an hour ago there are also people there that are really mad. Even their ANN thread is full of Angry Bounty hunters and also investors. Hope they reconsidered paying the right amount because i don't want to receive $1-$5 for 5 months of work. It's a total waste of time and effort.

Businesses don't work like that, do they? I mean one of them is a billionaire doesn't mean he would be paying money out of his pockets against whatever the contract is/was.

To be honest, bounties are always risky. Participants already take some sort of risk the moment they enroll. I'm not saying they shouldn't get paid for the work of 5 months but who the fuck in the world slaves for 5 months without a payment?

If he cares about his own reputation then he would certainly pay all the participants of the campaign with money out of his own pocket. but as in the world of the ICO only has person with bad character and person without dignity and dishonest, I doubt very much that this guy would take his money from the pocket to pay the participants of the campaign


this: " Participants already take some sort of risk the moment they enroll " It should not happen at all. Often ICO owners forget that thanks to the hard work of these guys who participate in the bounty campaign that they (the ICO owners) manage to raise funds for the projects they create. another thing that ICO owners forget is that they have made a commitment to the participants of the bounty campaign, even if this commitment is not formal. example:

 It can not be said that I will to allocate $200.000 of funds for the bounty campaign and the campaign will have a duration of 5 months for example and before 5 months change the value to  $100.000 for example, this is something very bad and shows lack of planning by the creators of ICO.

That's exactly my point! ICO's billionaires won't give two shits about giving 2% to the bounty participants.

I'm afraid I would like to disagree with the 'hard-work' part. Apart from Blog/YouTube campaigns, most of the stuff is just copy pasting. I could be wrong but the point again is, why would someone work so hard for 5 months in the hopeless ICO world?

That's true but there isn't a formal contract stating that right? Or there is?

Yes i know the risk. So i generally picked the most trusted Bounty Services like Amazix because they do an amazing job with their bounty. The 15ETH reward is a complete insult to everybody who participated the bounty. Owners seems to belittle what Bitcointalk can make them. Plus those who made youtube videos that made a huge effort promoting it.

Note how they say they never promised this reward (blaming AmaZix) but there is another ANN thread in this forum posted after they split with AmaZix that shows exactly the same.

This is me asking in the main Telegram group about the deletion of the bounty group:

Baroness Mone of Mayfair is a real person...

https://twitter.com/MichelleMone

She was made a member of the House of Lords (UK Parliament Upper House) for life and has an OBE (Order of the British Empire). She was the business Tsar for the UK Government at one point.

She is a multi-millionaire and her co-founder partner is a billionaire.

does that mean she can't be a fraudster? Bernie Madoff was also a highly respected millionaire at a time.

Did I appear to make that point? The question was asked so I answered it.

These two can more than afford to pay the bounty team all monies due.

This is the EQUI team. This attack by Bounty members is totally outrageous and unjustified. Yes, we were forced to block many Bounty members from our Telegram community due to their extremely bad language, disgusting personal attacks on the Equi team as well as threats. We have a signed legal contract with Amazix which states that the Bounty deal was 2% of the money raised. After refunds, EQUI raised $500,000. Bounty people raised just under $2,000 from all of them combined, so it was a complete waste of time. As we are a reputable company, as a gesture of goodwill we were prepared to pay out on the $500,000 that was raised through our own network, as opposed to the $2,000 that the whole Bounty campaign raised! We are prepared to pay out to the Bounty campaign $10,000 so this represents more than a fair pay day. So you can see, we are paying the Bounty people way more than what they actually raised. This is why their whole programme doesn't work in the real business world!
 
If any of the Bounty community make up any lies we will instruct our lawyers to take action against you. If the Bounty community want to get angry with anyone it should be Amazix as they made promises that they never received sign off on by EQUI. It was EQUI that fired Amazix for poor performance, not the other way around. Our team did not handle the Bounty community. Our company has carried out everything in the proper and correct way with instructions from our lawyers. EQUI is full of extremely high profile Global successful entrepreneurs who have a track record of over 250 years between them in this industry. EQUI will be paying out as per our legal contract 2% of the total raise after refunds which is $10,000 even though the Bounty pay out should be less than $40.00 for what the Bounty people raised. The external agency appointed to audit the Bounty had to delete a lot of Bounty followers who were deemed to be fake. EQUI is a reputable and ethical company that always honours any legal contracts made. Please stop all this nonsense now. if you have any grievance at all, direct your frustrations at Amazix, who have badly let you and the EQUI team down.
 
There will be no more comments or discussion from EQUI. We are far too busy preparing for our massive Global launch.

So who from your team posted this: EQUI Presale Update (https://medium.com/equi-capital/equi-presale-update-5a211f4073bc)

You need to read this article and come here to speak the truth, who wrote this article? You were lying in the medium? and you still have the courage to say: "  As we are a reputable company "


and you do not have the money to pay the participants of the bounty campaign and do not worry about compensating people fairly

Respected and rich people will not behave in this way. Keep face need to in any case. A striking example of a project of an honest attitude to their work and to the people who helped in advertising the project is BITNATION. They're AmaZix customers too. Bounty hunters were paid more tokens than investors! The calculations were made honestly on the original terms


That's awful! So much dirt!

TS is absolutely right.
I was also banned in telegram group for this project because I was asking questions about dishonest behavior towards bounty hunters.
We should be more active in writing in social networks Equi Capital about the fraud of the development team. To warn investors against unsuccessful (erroneous) decision to entrust their funds to these people.

So tell me, o your royal highness: why does the SECOND BOUNTY THREAD posted by COINFABRIC (after you were no longer working with AmaZix) also say you will pay 2% of the total token supply?

You are lying about everything, you are not trustworthy and everyone will know about your SCAM.

Also here is capture from the WHITE PAPER:

https://s8.postimg.cc/w2n4mpkrp/equi_WP_capture.jpg

Sorry if I got that impression. I have heard that argument before from them and since you came in with a newbie account I thought you could be just shilling for them. My apologies.

I'm one of the victims of this Scam, i create articles for bounties and generally get 300 to 900$ worth of tokens from bounties per each peace of content.
but EQUI is about to pay less than 10$ for my work
this is ridiculous.
i always choose bounties that AmaZix is raunning because they are reputable but this one suckes.
EQUI, i'm asking you who on earth would work to get paid with this stupid low price, don't you even thought about it when campaign was up?

Dude, you created an account just to post the same thing, if you at least answered people's questions and showed evidence would be a serious discussion, but you show yourself to be the kind of person who just wants to take advantage of other people's sacrifices



it seems that from now on they need to be more rigorous


And he still has the courage to make threats: " If any of the Bounty community make up any lies we will instruct our lawyers to take action against you"

I didn't see any information about project at the web-site. The only thing is team. I have read a biography of CEO and it looks like he is honest. But if to look on the project, it has bounty program - almost all bounties are SCAMs. So, I have an opinion that frauds paid money to Doug Barrowman to let them put his face on their web-site.

I advice you to read shitcoinoffering.com (http://shitcoinoffering.com) to receive some knowledge how not to be cheated and how to reveal frauds.
Also you can join telegram:
https://t.me/shitcoinoffering
https://t.me/shitcoinofferingchat

All of the information here are truth. I've been nice with them and posted it on the original Equi Capital Bounty group but the admin kicked me and deleted all of my messages. Later when most of us are mad, they decided to delete the whole bounty telegram. Cursing each and every one of us in the new group.

I may no longer focus on this one as i have no hope Equi will fairly compensate everyone.

The truth of this entire scam Project is being revealed on a daily basis as more people become aware this thread exists, more testimonials of this scam as well as more evidence of this deceit would be brought forward.

They didn't pay as expected and dare to threaten. Every scammer having a lawyer starts to feel permissiveness. The project seems to be fraudulent, respected people have never done so.

Here's article about Equi's Co-founder Mone, a lady that would bug employees offices to listen for signs of disloyalty https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-26355677

Here's a piece about the scandal.
https://wingsoverscotland.com/black-snake-mone/

Indeed after reading this article, this is a big warning to the general public to be careful of these so-called EQUI Project championed by the Liar and scammer Michelle Mone who takes alot of pride giving herself titles.

Also in the news, Bitcoin.com wrote that the Scottish lingerie entrepreneur has a string of failed ventures and dubious business practises to her name, but there was no mention of that in a Sky News story, which has since been deleted. Whatever her ICO may be, it has nothing do with helping women. The piece is riddled with preposterous claims that crypto heads would see through instantly, but that could easily hoodwink newcomers including the women the project is supposedly designed for.

I'll just leave it here how stupid EQUI team is. Blame AmaZix but look what's written on your 2nd campaign.

https://i.imgur.com/poPB4cr.jpg

Yes, but am also wondering why Amazix has not come forward to clear its name in all of this? Because Equi has ruthlessly blamed them ofcourse when it became obvious they were fraudulent.

I'll just leave this here https://news.bitcoin.com/michelle-mones-ico-ends-in-disarray-as-equi-capital-fiasco-turns-ugly/ (https://news.bitcoin.com/michelle-mones-ico-ends-in-disarray-as-equi-capital-fiasco-turns-ugly/)

Those scamers banned a lot of people from TG. :)) After announcing this funny decision. Me, after I wrote, that I initially suspected that the project is bad, and that Lady Mone had already bought herself a lot of new Handbags and Hats. Yes, this is an insult, to the depths of the soul. ))) I was not angry, I was laughing, I still laugh. Gesture of goodwill. 15 ETH to all, for half of year. Lmao. All those people including advisors should get into blacklist of investors and bounty hunters. I propose to create oficial topic at btt and pin it, where all scamers, including advisors, will be posted with, names, photos, proofs. I'm sure it will help to clean blockchain marketplace from frauds. Specially for the representative of EQUI. The problem was not in Amazix, and bounty hunters, but in your project and how you presented it to the public. Turn the official fb page of the project into a personal blog of Lady Mone, it's silly. The news of the royal court of Great Britain? Racing of yachtsmen? Seriously? Investors are not interested in that. ICO postpone do not contribute to confidence, as well as an empty, not high-quality site. In my opinion, Your ICO was just a toy for a Barbie girl.

I am currently in their telegram group community and based from AmaZix statement, they have legal case against Equi and they aren't allow to give much info about Equi. Legal matter is different than giving out announcement to the public I guess.

Well however the case may be, let's see what the future holds hopefully these scumbags would be brought to justice and pay for their deceit and scam

Remember, You the Bounty Program participating people, are in the right; hence, you command the moral high ground here. You should complain to the House of Lords, and to Buckingham Palace that someone associated with them, and flaunting their association with them for professional gain, is behaving in a manner unbecoming of that stature, and has brought scandal and disrepute to their august establishment.

The British Royal Family and the House of Lords are all about dignity and high honour. Cheating poor unpaid daily wage-labourers in third world countries is a scandalous proposition to them. It's about as acceptable to them as loudly blowing one's wet stuffy, mucoid nose into tissue while on-stage at an official function.

You can also contact media like the Sun, Guardian, Times, Telegraph, etc. Here's some nice authoritative coverage on this story, that you can share with the other newspapers.

https://news.bitcoin.com/michelle-mones-ico-ends-in-disarray-as-equi-capital-fiasco-turns-ugly/ (https://news.bitcoin.com/michelle-mones-ico-ends-in-disarray-as-equi-capital-fiasco-turns-ugly/)

Maybe you can pitch it from the angle of demanding that her title be rescinded.  You will have to draft and post a petition for rescinding her Baroness title, on change.org. With your masses of unpaid bounty campaign members, and their PR experience, you shouldn't have any difficulty in getting the high numbers on that petition. And lots of news coverage of your plight in addition.

Just my $ 0.02.  Hope it results in some concrete results for all the Bounty participants who seem to be unfairly dealt with here.

EDIT:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellemone (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellemone)

That's her LinkedIn profile, where she emphasises on her House of Lords background.

Just came across a new forum post that mentions the news of Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak getting involved in Equi Capital.  Here's the post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4953856.new#new (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4953856.new#new)

Maybe, now there's finally some hope for the hard-served Bounty participants.

Even Steve will invest or join in Equi it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a relief for its participant.

The one who'll benefit to it is of course the team. Just to think of it, if they really wanna pay their participants they'll pay them and being an ass that being guilty from the accusations.

I think you guys should move on from this.
