Hello Team,

Why are you using stock images of your team member?
Most of Linkedin links of your team are broken, also missing team photos.
We noticed that some place that you posted your ICO, there is a warning on your ICO page  "Warning it May Be a Scam".

This is very strange, this guy @zirconbasu18 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1017312)

he is the owner of this project? because I realized the following:

Peoples token ICO is running now.
Do look up at the concept.
NO bonus,bounty or pre-sale. All tokens are for sale. unsold tokens will be burnt.
The token also has its own forum.
visit - https://www.peoplestoken.org

he was advertising this coin in this thread: best upcoming ICO (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2125150.msg42793585#msg42793585)

and reading his post history has this:

I think so. A lot of scams have made it hard even for genuine people and developers to release their projects. Investors who have lost their finances have no way of gaining back their investments. I think it will get harder every year from now for ICOs. ICO these days are all based on money, money for promotion, money for getting ICO reviews and ratings, even crypto exhange listings. This is really heartbreaking.

Well this does not serve as proof I'm just making assumptions

Also for replacing the stock photo of Niharika T., but the Link to her Linkedin profile is not working.

Your CEO has 1 year experience on...forum?


If you don't mind, can your CEO post few words from Full member account?

Lets see:

1) You used stock pictures for your team members
2) Your experience is 1 year shitposting in bitcointalk.org and joining airdrops
3) You claim to be CEO of this project, Mr. Zirkon Basumatary...

....while your telegram shows different name:

My telegram id - @Jmill17

Mr. John Miller

You have many identities for someone who is trying to collect $7,000,000. So, which one are you, John M. or Zirkon B.? Can you take pictures from 3 different angles holding paper with both hands with today's date written on paper to show your potential investors that you really are man from picture (which is available at your site)?

I just want to add information about People Bounty admin: zircon basu (founder and CEO, telegram: @zbasu).

Spreadsheet in this bounty is filled manually by admins (adding new participants). At some point I discovered that I was banned from facebook bounty and I began to look for the cause. And that's what I found: he made a copy-paste mistake and do not want to admit it. This error can be seen in the bounty facebook table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19sVnfS1-z6BSdFj6tyfn5HJiqvHYTsZ8hXRNvwh9D4g (also see screenshots below).

My spreadsheet number is 157, but wrong username. I tried to explain to zircon basu that the numbers (usernames) on the facebook table 1-18 are identical to 148-165, but he answered everytime that it was my fault. After communicating in a telegram, I think he just blocked me, because I do not see his avatar (the photo and the last time he visited).

But I found several other people in the chat who reported about this copy-paste error, but admins do not listen to users and always reply that it's their fault.

After that, I found this thread and stopped participating at this bounty, but it is still going on. I'm not trying to restore my stacks, I do not like such a project with such an admin, but I want everyone to know this and draw conclusions - perhaps the project team (in particular the founder zircon basu ) is not very smart man since he can not recognize this elementary error.

Thank you for attention.
