Title: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: Bowtiesarecool on August 11, 2018, 05:56:59 PM I've been presented with evidence that Centra founders - or at least the developers behind it - have started another ICO that bears certain similarities with CTR and may or may not be a scam. The OP has requested that I present their evidence here and is willing to supply screenshots if necessary to back up their claim. Below is their original post
Hey everyone, just sharing/warning people to stay clear of phantom.org as it will only make you lose money and time. I'd hate to see another group of people get tricked and over time get screwed hard. Website: https://alpha.phantom.org/ (https://alpha.phantom.org/) subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Phantomcore/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/Phantomcore/) Telegram: https://t.me/PhantomCore (https://t.me/PhantomCore) Twitter: https://twitter.com/PhantomDotOrg Background history: Read: https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2018/05/133775-report-centra-tech-founders-plead-not-guilty-in-alleged-fraud-ico/ (https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2018/05/133775-report-centra-tech-founders-plead-not-guilty-in-alleged-fraud-ico/) https://bitcoinist.com/centra-tech-indicted-60-mill-ico-fraud/ (https://bitcoinist.com/centra-tech-indicted-60-mill-ico-fraud/) Quote THE CENTRA TECH FRAUD Sorhab Sharma, Raymond Trapani, and Robert Farkas, the three co-founders of Centra Tech allegedly tried to defraud investors via a token sale. They were all arrested in April 2018 and charged with the same crimes. Commenting on the indictment, Deputy U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Robert Khuzami said that: So why is this a scam? Technically it isn't just yet. However you do the math. If founders of an ico that has been built on false statements and deception ran by people who had no prior blockchain exp and were basically just trying stuff out and not really knowing what they were doing was legal or better yet knew they were breaking rules but thought it was worth it... I wouldn't trust these guys to be able to make anything durable. Can I read their side of the events? Yea prior to launching this new venture of them they created this medium blog post sharing their side of the events: Dear Centra Community — Let the Truth be known (http://"https://medium.com/@Centra/dear-centra-community-let-the-truth-be-known-5241777b51d1") Clearly it has been well formulated and from reading it you almost feel sorry for them. :p Words can be powerful tool. So why you so certain? The first ico I worked for was centra as a volunteer. I was not informed nor had I access to what the founders were up to or if what they shared of info was true or false. I was just "a guy" learning ico's and trying to do my job and gain exp. However I wasn't blind either. Without knowing for sure i did feel that the founders were a bit shady in their actions, communiction towards us mods and in how they conducted themselves in private in the mod room. I had no real proof to be fully convinced so I just did my job, quit and moved to the next ico project. Months later centra got hit with a SEC investigation and stuff went ballistic and I knew at that point all my suspicions were not wrong. On top of that they are already lying to the people right now and deleting/censoring like they did on Centra. https://www.reddit.com/r/Phantomcore/comments/951j9u/yes_phantom_is_launching_soon_ask_me_anything/ Quote Hi Markerone, The team members are mainly the developers of the project from Centra and new developers, we are working to make a public announcement of whose going to be involved this week as the Foundation is not going to have a specific owner just board members since this is an open-source project. We are contacting exchanges and in the process to figure out how to get the credits done appropriately. Thank you. Sam Sharma and Robert Farkas and most likely other founding members are actually involved on this and are (the real owners). The idea that a spin off group (the devs are owners aka board members) not controlled or in the pocket off the centra founders is 10%. Just ridiculous. You could twist this into them being victims in this story of the us government; but if they did their jobs and token sale right then they wouldn't have had any issue that put them, investors and centra into ruin. Phantom Transparency Report Quote Every week we plan to post our Phantom Transparency Report to go over the details of development and other updates we want to share with our community The idea that they are really transparent and being honest to their supposed community is such a big joke. If they were really transparent they would not lie to their members or delete and censor like unprofessional mad people. Follow the rest of the saga from the OP here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3248839.0 Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Scam? Post by: swissgang on August 11, 2018, 06:46:50 PM Thay may be true because scammers never stop, as there is still little chance for them before regulation they come again.
Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Scam? Post by: Pancheng on August 11, 2018, 07:05:16 PM If a person was accused as scammed he or she should clear his or her name first that their project was like this and like that before they will be involve in a new one, this project of them is surely just to scam and try to gather money...
Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Scam? Post by: Bowtiesarecool on August 11, 2018, 07:20:28 PM Thay may be true because scammers never stop, as there is still little chance for them before regulation they come again. This is in violation of several laws already. You can't be indicted for one crime and go off starting another operation that looks like the crime you're being indicted for - even if you have to pay legal fees...That reminds me, which celebrity would they be getting on board now? Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: jeffthebaker on August 11, 2018, 10:58:12 PM The saddest part about this is some loyal followers that never dumped their Centra scamtokens are going to support this to try to salvage their original investment. Pitiful all the way around.
Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: auroboros on August 11, 2018, 11:31:37 PM I better look for another, because there are many other projects for investment, because as we all know, Centra is a scam project. and all those involved in it will be difficult to launch new projects because of their previous history. so is better to stay away
Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: Ultra777 on August 12, 2018, 06:58:41 AM The more info and questions about possible scam project - the better! Please spread the word across the forums! I hate how Centra scammed all supporters and investors...

They have to do right by the community - especially if their intention is honorable. Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: coyote50 on August 12, 2018, 03:07:30 PM Whether it's a scam or not, better to just stay away from this one. The risk is too high, not worth it

The risk is too high, not worth it It's an obvious scam and you can see the evidence through SEC report about centra was being alleged as a scam project. The CEO of centra has already arrested by US security and phantom just another scam project of centra scammer developers. I heard these scammers have been banning so many people from their telegram group. Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: sorrros on August 13, 2018, 04:15:30 PM It is more than obvious that it is a scam! They have spent all their stolen money already?
And on advisor board is again Floyd Mayweather? Biig fail. Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: masterkiller on August 14, 2018, 12:29:54 PM Centra already has a bad reputation for all crypto investors, even though they really want to make a particular project, it will be very difficult to build trust that was once damaged. I myself will choose to stay away from their project.

Even if they now have good intentions, which I do not believe, the crypto community should show that there is no place for cheaters. The best solution is not to get involved in this project.

It may not be a place for him in the hearts of investors, but if their goal is a novice investor, it may be easier to pursue. Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: Maks.fadeev1978 on August 14, 2018, 03:02:55 PM I've heard about centra and I really thought that everyone knows that this is a scam and their founders are going to jail but I really surprised when I saw your topic.
Maybe if you're have such evidence you should post thread on scam accusation? That more people will know about their new "ICO". Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: milewilda on August 14, 2018, 08:53:12 PM Good innovation but still the same concept like CENTRA which is a card and now they added up other things to make it more appealing but only fool people would fall twice for these obvious scams.

It's amazing that all they just bothered to do was to reskin Centra and try to pass off the framework as another product.

Post by: Luigi21 on August 15, 2018, 10:00:24 PM I hope that they'll never start a new project they scammed a lot of people and also me in its bounty campaign, fortunately I haven't invested in it even if I wasted some of my time
Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: RoooooR on August 16, 2018, 01:47:19 PM Holy cow!, i guess it's really sketchy but i'll be trying to find out if this one's true. well if this team is from centra team i'll be staying away from it for sure. It will be a sure scam for sure. Thank you in advance for the good info if this one's legit hope there will be no incoming investment for this so no one will be scammed again.

Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: knuckey on August 16, 2018, 05:03:20 PM I hope no one gets stuck and loses his assets in this sad ico. but I'm confused, there are still people who care and support ico like this, who obviously have a troubled founder.
Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core?

They have people who didn't sell in time, so that immediately gives them an audience who will maybe try to support it in hopes of recouping their investment. People overseas not familiar with it can be BS'd into it. No one in the USA would likely put anything into this as a simple Google search will blow away all credibility, but people overseas aren't likely to search for or find American headlines and crypto is a global game. Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: landslide on August 16, 2018, 06:26:23 PM No ICO is attractive in this market conditions. I think it's much more risky at this time that a plug is much more important.
Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core? Post by: tycsols on August 16, 2018, 08:24:11 PM That sucks, if any of the fraudsters are coming up with a new project then this is really a disappointing thing for crypto community, such culprits should be brought to justice and put behind the bars, new projects mean that they are free to scam more people, i hope no one will get trapped again.
Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core?

The CEO of centra has already arrested by US security and phantom just another scam project of centra scammer developers. I heard these scammers have been banning so many people from their telegram group. How is it obvious? You used the word alleged, which means nothing has been proven. Innocent until proven guilty still means something in America. If they aren't asking for people to buy tokens, how can it be an ICO and illegal? Do all of you have law degrees when you sit here and state they are breaking the law? Hi Centra Shill. Go ask Sam to give you a rebuttal for these questions that they will need to have one hell of an answer to in order to avoid going to jail and being fined to the tune of millions of dollars. If you can give passable answers it will go a long way with the court of public opinion. 1. What is Centra’s/Phantom’s response to their phony CEO Michael Edwards and why did Sam Sharma acknowledge his existence on two separate occasions in videos currently available on YouTube? Why should I trust anything this guy is involved in after that? 2. What is Centra’s/Phantom’s response to supposed partnerships with Visa, Mastercard and Bancorp being advertised during their ICO as well as videos available on YouTube by Sharma, when evidence shows that not only did those partnerships/agreements not exist, the company was being hit with cease and desists from all 3 companies yet Centra continued to advertise partnerships? 3. What is Centra’s/Phantom’s response to advertising an agreement for the card to operate in 38 states when court documents show that they didn’t have the license to operate in even 1 state and also the cost to get such licenses would have cost the company funds they never had access to pre ICO? There is also YouTube video of Sharma touting this ability. 4. What is Centra’s/Phantom’s response to coin price manipulation by Ray Trapani as shown by text message in court documents? Given this, what is to say that all Phantom represents is another opportunity to manipulate price to help liquidate Sam/Ray/Robert’s CTR? Let’s see the “truth prevail” Until they provide answers to all these and more, they're a persona non grata to me. Feel so sorry for those who're going to be scammed again despite reading all these Title: Re: CENTRA Founders Starting Another Shady ICO - Phantom Core?

Scammers, hackers, phishers and same-minded people are always good in using new technology in order to snatch money from their victims. some are doing it subtly and some are doing it openly just like what Centra people did and now they have the courage to pull another magic trick right before our own eyes. Maybe these people should be send to a remote place where they can never contact anyone so that they can not anymore plan of anything that can victimize people.

Post by: Ultra777 on September 02, 2018, 11:06:02 AM Floyd and DJ Khalid What DJ Khalid as well?Well this is how marketing works, they just paid those popular people and advertise their project even without knowledge on what it is. I guess they received millions of $$$ for advertising this scam. Why would they be keeping a token that's declared as a scam? they are out of it as long as they have received the payment for advertising that scam. I'm sure ppl who advertise some shitty ICO only accept fiat (maybe in form of BTC or ETH at the fixed rate) and such ads are not cheap. I try not to trust aggressive ads/marketing, especially some referral schemes, they scream scam... For me Ethereum is a good example of a project where mostly tech/code helped to increase value... Some of the "established" coins have also aggressive marketing but the usage is nowhere near Ethereum numbers. |
