Hello,

I want to start new tread about Bankera,because looks like everyone already forgot about them:)

Bankera raised USD 151.000.000 from more then 100.000 investors.

And what we have today?...complete silence here,complete silence in all social networks,blocked/muted members on chat.bankera,WR(weekly revenue share for BNK tokens holders)not paid for 10-12 weeks(even if its only 1-2eur. worth per 1 million of BNK tokens)...looks like all over for investors???
So,this was only nice fairy tale about Bank of Blockchain era=Bankera...all this only a money grab ICO?...now they have 151.000.000 and they open 6-7 new company's(with same owners) to wash collected ICO money from not regulated crypto sector into very regulated standard banking sector?
All what they did in 3 years for ICO investors(bankera loans,exchange,half done wallet)..JOKE!!!,its all just to pretend they work to keep investors happy for some time,until they able to wash money?Of course they show something with long long delays(we work hard:)),this way we cant call them Scammers or Thieves!!!They know what already 95% investors gone and not even remember Bankera,investors lost and move on....Bankera wants all 100% ICO investors/contributors disappear and they move from crypto to standard banking with all ICO money?..


Just i want to know do someone still around here?Maybe some ex members of chat.bankera who was muted/blocked for all,just because way say Scam?...Well,im the one unlucky one,who said something like i write here and now banned from chat.bankera:)!!!..
Im invested EUR 12.000+ in Bankera and really like to know bit more about all company's involved in Bankera spider,more contacts,more facts form start of ICO until now...

Thank you:)


  

It's not only a money grabber but banker was a scam ico that created by scammers. Have you checked the trust summary the owner of bankers? he was also scamming so many people with his fake service.

They were liars too. The project is outright scam. They presented mediocre exchange to keep investors contained but it too failed miserably. They weren't able to partner with any card issuer to issue their card and they have already sold most of their tokens and assets. As mentioned by a user in their thread, they are not available in their mentioned location.

This is it, the main reason why we have lesser investors in crypto space today, how can 100k investors invest in a project that plan to remain silent to this day? This is devastating, only those who have mind will come back into crypto space to invest on any project, that's a massive amount of money, 151,000,000$ ??? Good LORD  :-\ :-\

So,first was 2013 SpectroCoin.com (crypto exchange,2016 wallet,prepaid card) (V.Karalevivius,M.Mockevicius,J.Dobiliauskas true Spectro Finance Ltd.UK reg.and Spectro Finance LTU reg.),they was successful in beginning of crypto madness...but after business goes down( a lot of new/better/cheaper)competitors around
And here 2017 ICO bum.Easy money.Chance of lifetime.New business plan of 3 friend(V.Karalevivius,M.Mockevicius,J.Dobiliauskas)..ICO..BANKERA...we gonna build frrst fully licensed crypto bank
for this was created company Finalify.Ltd(reg.Virgin Islands,own.M.Mockevicius) and organized really good businesses/advertising complain with strong advisers team from bankers,EU parliament members,NEM founder Wong(Here EU parl.member Antanas Guoga i think involved much more when we know??)....and of course success!!//over 100.000 contributors..and USD 151.000.000..(if believe Bnkera all audited by well know international audit company and converted to Fiat(EUR?USD?)..but investors never see any proofs of audits(reason,dont need to proof anything here:)........

Stanlo:Yes problem they all silent:)they loose and move on,maybe invest small amounts?but.here was catch..free card for 1000usd invested in ICO(i believe a lot of contributors invested 1000usd.)...but,why 1 year nobody post here about USD 150.000.000 ICO i dont know??/

I do not think that it is a scam, but their progress is so slow. They have working platform - SpectroCoin where you can buy or sell cryptocurrencies and from the feest what they collect they distribute some profit to BNK token holders.

Well,i hope we do Bankera more visible here again!!!!!!!..

Not only Bankera but a lot of ICO projects last 2017-2018 is in silence in these previous years until now, there is no update or announcement coming from them. If you join a lot of ICO and bounties in those years you can tell how many of them are doing the same. Maybe they are only one group of scammers trying to make different projects just to scam people. It was unfortunate that many of us are victims but we will have it as a lesson and never do the same mistake again. Never trust suspicious projects.

I don't scream scam too,but....if you fallow them for 3 years every day...and you read all answers in chat.bankera...you clearly understand that your money in big big risk:))

One of the biggest raised money so far. But people before are really into investment and they got hit by the hype of cryptocurrency. Eth network is the sole benefactor of those ICOs using their platform for crowdfundung sources. Its make me feel releif that I did not so much participated on ICO only those bounty. But I remember joining some good ICOs but only few money I chip in. Unlucky and unfortunate, those money are gone like wind.

Bankera is still active and seeing a lot of advertisment till now. Maybe they can still get going on the development.

Have you seen this https://www.coindesk.com/bitclave-sec-settlement-25m-ico?

The investors of bankers must try to report it into the authorities like SEC and the scammer team of bankers will be on a big risk and if you are an investor and you can get back your money.
There must be some people who can take legal action against them.

It's not only in a big risk but your money can disappear anytime but how much ROI have you gotten from your investment in bankers?

after successful ICO good news,we buying BANK....but,we buying just for fun,not for you investors(you gonna wait Banker bank license  forever:)) and not with your invested money:))(yes,yes,you rich boys:)) not for ICO money you bought PPB bank in Vanuatu(from ex owners,your friends,ex class mates,and funny ex owners/friends still work in this bank)..its clear they bought for ICO money and possible all money now in this Bank loans portfolio(friends pockets??)
 here ICO finished....all money counted and all not sold tokens distributed.....
here news; all advisers team(in my opinion 80% value,why i invested),finish they good job and out:)what?they was here only for advertising :)..not team anymore?(from here i already start worrying my money gone)..after advisers gone,we left with CEOs V.Karalevivius,M.Mockevicius,J.Dobiliauskas..and 15-25 students..from solid team,to nothing(sorry for this)...and silence for months:)
we working,wait,we not pump-dump,long project..
and after we have 2-3 years of fails..just not able/dont want to do anything to create some value for ICO investors...fail after fail..fail token listings,fail exchange,fail loans,fail cards....if somethings works looks like done by student and with no chance to survive on market..looks like they dont want success of crypto part of they business,they want to convert everything into regulated standard banking and live fully legal life's after got 150.000.000 investors money??

You don't have to think about it too much. It's pretty much a scam/dead project since it's already 3 years and they still haven't delivered anything positive yet. Try opening this accusation right here  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2126829.msg21243694#msg21243694) so you'd know that they've already left you. The owner of the Bankera account hasn't been online since march and his last post was this  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2091093.msg53674509#msg53674509) which is January of 2020.

I know it's a lot of money that you've invested but it's a risk you took and you failed. Just Invest in the top cryptocurrencies and hold for a long time instead of investing in projects that hasn't proven anything.

It seems Bankera is reviewed scam by Cointelligence.com


I believe this is the norms of late 2017-2019 ICO's.  Hype and then exit scam.  Though Bankera is still trading on the exchange, I think the dev had already abandoned all the development side and just let the Bankera community trade by themselves.

I am sorry for your lost OP and I think it is time to move on and I hope you learned your lesson well from this Bankera investment.

looks like future of Bankera a lot of small companys with same owners((V.Karalevivius,M.Mockevicius,J.Dobiliauskas)...standart banking services true Pervesk and PPB(deposits,cards,loans)...but,nothing for crypto part(ICO contributors) to increase BNK value(why to share?to much problems,regulations,)..but,they gonna keep this part(crypto,in kids/studens level) just to show they not scamming,they doing business:)...

There have been many things like that but the average project that left without a word is 2018 where there are a lot of scamers happening and therefore we will certainly be victims of those who continue to give false hope to us and in fact there is no update at all and we wait for years.

With a project like that, investors feel sad and frustrated because many have lost their savings, now many investors are reluctant to invest in ICOs because their disappointment has been cheated by previous scammers.

It seems you guy do normally take time to search internet for info because if you do, you must have find out numerous scam allegation about not only the Bankera but the founders. These are some of the old thread that might interest you to gain insight about previous scam project
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2126829.0
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bankera.com
people have been silent because they have moved on while fully understand that Bankera has scam them
This is the account of one of the team
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=317543
he has deserted BTT more than a year ago

Unfortunately for you and most people in the market this is not really uncommon, what you are describing has happened many times and it will keep happening in the future, the really sad part is that you invested so much money in a project that is very clearly a scam, this is why many investors have decided to never invest a large amount of money in any coin and instead they put their money in many coins, their goal is that even if several of those projects are scams they think that at least some of them are going to skyrocket for some time and they will be able to obtain enough profits to offset their losses but even that is a risky strategy.

In initial day of ico in bitcointalk community informed several time about the team involved in bankera . Even people invested in token because of etheteum return for holding bankera token . That was the win for them . Not only this project i am victim of several other centra, dropping, ethetdelta even more.

For what is worth, I think the sec should have really look into the case of bankera and provide justice to the the victims of this big scam project, and I don't get why the investors just went quite and never make a case against bankera with the necessary evidence instead of letting them go freely,
This and other projects like it bring shame and dishonesty to ico, they destroy whole process with their insatiable greed, it was a big disaster.

Lot of ico scammed investors money. 2017-2018 was a great year for scammers. They scammed huge money from investors. Because of the ico hype, people had to invest in the project that was coming. And the results are very bad. The scammers became Overnight Millionaire.

Yet some scammers are trying to scam people. They are coming up with new names but the purpose is the same.

Would be way worse if ICO is all we still have left till today, investors will find it very hard to trust any new ICO projects, we should be thankful that IEO still works like a charm, maybe in future the lost trust will be returned, somehow, for now let's focus on IEO and leave the damages that ICO did

I am sure all employed have nice salaries for doing close to nothing. That is why ICOs were made in first place to employ 100 friends that now lie on some beach drinking cocktails.

yes looks like couple workers are from same gang....but rest,just standard office workers,with very basic wages....but in another hand,if they have already nearly 10 company's(maybe more,who knows),even 2-3 friends in one ends with 30 friends with good wages:)))))
but,what we can do...

Bankera spider... company's(same owners) in Virgin Islands,Vanuatu,Netherlands,Lithuania(3-4 different towns),Great Britain,Malta,Estonia....maybe shortly they run out of money???....

this is what makes cryptocurrency popularity worse because they don't think about the good name of cryptocurrency, they do scams like that and don't care anymore about cryptocurrency because they already get a lot of money.

Yes, they give bad name to crypto and make it look like a scam venture, many similar cases like this happen back in 2017 /2018, most of those projects where well planned scams, and what is even sad is that this project raises such huge amount of money and just disappear, leave investors to suffer, very heartless scammers.

I wish we can have the old experience of fund raising back, it was way easier for new projects to raise fund but scammers destroyed everything about ICO, the only reason why IEO is a bit safer is because of top exchanges if not, it will be all Hope's lost

Just let it go off, there's nothing anyone can do about it now because it's a longtime dead project. Although I didn't participated on the said ICO but can see their raised funds which was enough for them to built their platform well without any iota of doubt. They scammed gullible investors out of their hard earned money through fraudulent activities, these are all lessons  for us all into the cryptocurrency world, don't invest into new technology but always consider the older technology.

I'm a little worried about Bankera, in my opinion the Bankera project is indeed doubtful, I fundamentally analyzed it, their Github has not been updated since 2018, is this Bankera project really dead? but price already up

no they not disappear:)..they have a lot worthless parts of Bankera:

Bankera Exchange....with no users,and only couple coins:)
Bankera Loans....no promotion,and no much users(because they increase % so bad)]
Bankera account/iban...no use,nobody trust them?
Bankera Wallet....coming soon...but who gonna use it??????
Bankera card..coming soon..free for me:))))))))))))))))...but do i or you gonna use it...and what charges they gonna apply for this i can just imagine:)))
Spectrocoin...was good in good times...now sh..t with massive %%%% on everything....

and PPB bank,Pervesk(like bank),another 3-4 company's(money suckers)...

so,they not disappear,they very busy businessmens,but.... 

Bankera was a project that had so much hype and buzz and I am shocked beyond words about the near death of this project. The devs and team collected enough fund to bankroll whatever programmes they wanted as roadmap for it but they failed. Crypto is still unregulated and there is little or nothing people can do in a scam case like this, except you know the team members in person. Bankera reminds me of another so much hyped project — MB8, that has also gone down the drain. This project is now comatose.

since EU market now well regulated,i think our ICO money was distributed to where need,true PPB bank (Vanuatu)?...and thats only reason why they bought this bank...and here question they bought it with ICO money....or...they same gang and ex owners of PPB(Bankera CEO said they his friends,class mates) just did fake sale agreement to share money and continue business together(CEO said,they still together)..with extra 150.000.000 for small bank:)))..for loans for example?.....dont thing this money land into Pervesk(Ltu)?if they have bank in Pacific's? ......

But why should they care? They will do nothing illegal. They will simply earn their salaries over few years. All money gathered in ICO will be spent and after few years will simply close the company. All legal.

I remember buying there tokens from the ico thinking that it could be the best crypto banking and services platform but i have to accept the fact that they have not lived upto the expectations of thousands of investors, i know getting crypto banking licenses and all that legal stuff is not easy either still we have seen some newer projects making better progress. Although Bankera has recently updated user interface and they claim to be working on products and services byt if they are serious they should come up with the final fully functional platform now as they already have taken too much time in developing the project.

And unfortunately it does not seem as if people have learned a lot from the experience, many of those that lost their money gave up on icos but that was because they lost all their money and the few that still have some are probably not investing right now because the market is not moving as much as it did back then, but if a new bull market emerges I am sure those people will once again invest in all kind of exotic coins that at the end will leave them with even more losses, for a long time I have thought about how we could change this but obviously I have failed and at the end I resigned myself to see people lose their money despite our efforts to change this.

Bankera collected my money and scammed then dash my hope. Instead of them to be active in development and push for more partnership, they are running expensive ads on coinmarketcap to same investors they scammed. It's a dead project. I won't invest further.

I remember again about this project, fortunately for me not to take part or invest in the Bangkera project at that time. as we know that scamers have a thousand ways to fool victims through either the ICO or other ways. I think the Bankera project is one of the SCAM projects and has taken hundreds of millions of dollars of profit from its investors.

When I login to my Bankera account, I see my BNK tokens plus some small dividends that come into my wallet. The problem is not that they took the money and gone, but they are very slow with the progress, that's why they didn´t set up the marketing to raise the trading volume.  ;)

that's true and I have tried to put small money and it worth zero value right now but I just try to use a few dollars only and it's more than what I have expected.

This is a scam project and there must be some parties who call SEC for this.

I also just remembered about this project, even though at that time there were lots of people talking about their project in the forum and many were investing in this project, fortunately I was not tempted also by their project and the offer they gave at that time,

In fact going down memory lane on ICOs it is very heartbreaking on what they did to investors, that is, ICO was the perfect tool used by scammers to easily swindle money from investors. Also, not only Bankera, there are still many like it that raised a lot of money and went mute while some were outright exit scam. Owing to all these, that's why I keep having the notion that it will be extremely hard for any ICO to come up again let alone scamming people; we have learnt and we have moved on.

I think they will never care about it. Since 2017, a lot of projects have become scams and stolen investors' money. But the SEC did not take any action against them, although investors repeatedly complained about the issue. We must know how to protect ourselves from scam projects

Unfortunately I participated in bankera ico in late 2017 that time I was new in crypto and bankera ico was on full hype that time but the good thing is I did invest only small amount so I could easily afford the loss but there were many people who invested large amount and faced huge loss It was really unfortunate project, probably a scam.

Guys I'm one that of victim investor, who participated on their scam ICO. Because of those scammers, most of onvestors lost their trust on ICOs even IEOs.i don't know why they disappeared when they successfully raised enough fund to develop their project & go ahead with it  :'(

The fact that so many awareness threads have already created and I can't get what already thought by investors before they were sending their money to this garbage project and scam developers. They are not yet disappeared but they actually scammers.

Because they need to create other projects and continue to scam investors. That way they can make more money and don't need to develop any projects

It's been a long time since I heard the latest news about Bankera. It seems like they are definitely Scammers. I used to follow the project from the beginning of the ICO but seeing my team's review I was doubtful, and it turns out they were a scam...

Such a wild and crazy time back then with so many scams going and thousand of crypto holders lost their bag in those. 151.000.000USD from more than 100.000 investors, God that is a lot and I'm sure it isn't the most amount being scam in crypto.

Yeah when it is 3 years later and there is still no change, you know it is a big scam. There is no way to actually "prove" a scam but to call it one. You can't just get all the owners and find their personal records, all their bank details and all their crypto wallets and see what they have spent the money they collected on and figure out if they actually did it for personal gain or did that for the coin. That is not the data we could reach right now so there is no way to actually "prove" it.

However, has anyone in their right mind would have any questions about a scam when for 3 years people who have collected your money did nothing at all? If someone takes 3 years to do even the simplest thing, that is not just failure, that is outright scam and there is no questions about it.

An ICO from 2017 made over $100 million and didn't deliver anything?! Good God! /s

This is the norm unfortunately. If you look at all the ICO projects that were launched in 2017 and you see how many of them have actually grown to become a functional business now, you'll find that it's close to 10%. The rest of them either blew through the money, ran off with it, or are currently busy pissing it away and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

ICOs were the get rich quick scheme of 2017, and you were on the wrong side of the table.

Im 100% sure buddy that you arent the only on who've been wrecked up by this project.The thing here is that those people who involved into this project already moved on and come to think that after all these years,
most projects are taking the same path which is being dumped hard neither because of the market or simply its devs already cashed out their part.Im aware with that Bankera ICO but im not surprised into these kind of events since its been pretty common scenario thats why ICO thing becomes shit and all alts that launched up into the market are just copycats and pure trash which cant really be trusted up for long term and
not really worth to invest on.

They were still active to avoid the legal action from the investors. The team has no credibility even when they were not starting the bankera project. The reputation of the team has already known as the scammers. You can see the old history

Exactly, do you know how long this people have raised funds for this project that till this very moment development is very minimal! Clearly they have refuse to use the money to speed up development, they only keep the platform running to manipulate people's thoughts on their shady activities, if they wanted they would have improve on development but I don't see that as part of their plan.

Project with same time frame have all gone well into development of their project, given investors a reason to still support the idea, this is not the case with Bankera.

I have participated in the campaign of this project and it is a bit fishy in my opinion before, If it is true with the total number of investors as they said before I think they can easily fulfill the milestone in their roadmap but I think that's just another Sale-Listed-Dumped-Dying-Dead Scheme that we have seen many years before in the ICO market. Well, be careful for the next before investing!

They were still active to avoid the legal action from the investors?...if we can do something?...yes,they do something,imitating business and drain ICOs money..simple,they was not ready to do something even from beginning,but after regulations changes a lot they fully abandoned project and just use ICOs money for different company's..Pervesk?PPBank?Era?Obolis?and so on....so many company's they created?For what?t#they said because this way they can go around all regulations,but looks like just ICO money eating puzzle....no Weekly Revenue for 8-9 weeks and nobody on chat.bankera to explain way(answer:we gonna pay soon:))??
Well,ok its scam,but how they able to get licences to do business with money?accounts,ibans,loans???...way regulators aloud this if they know they start business with stolen USD 151.000.000 from ICO???.....

This project really reaped a lot people, I was in their group too and thought they will blow but they scammed us and ran away.

A Project this big is one of the factors that dumped bitcoin!
I invested my student money in this shit.


If you want to sue them, I am with you guys!

It looks he just not aware of the awareness thread that has already created before. spectrocoin is very well known as a money grabber too that scammed a lot of bitcoin that owned by its users.

The team must be jailed to make sure the investors can get the refund for their money.

I have not followed the project anymore but based on it's market listed in https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bankera/markets, we can see that it's trading value is almost nothing, no liquidity means the team allows this to happen, so probably this is another scam projects in altcoins.

it's another project that successfully raise during ICO but failed to show result after the ICO.

as per - https://www.reddit.com/r/Bankera/comments/815360/bankera_ico_ended_with_152_million_raised_making/


They raised $152 million and yet they can't find a good exchanges that would provide them a decent value, what would people think on them? of course they will think that the project has gone scam already. For those who have invested, I think it's better to accept the loss now rather than hurting yourselves by expecting it will still rise from the dead.

There ANN Thread was locked - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2091093.20 and they have active flag https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=1101537

https://imgbbb.com/images/2020/06/14/flag.png

So sad to hear that. Bankera really gave good impression before but just another money grab project. I hope there are individuals that will seriously run after this kind of project. I am wondering what did those big investors do when they learned that this was a scam and their money just went down the drain.

If there's a lawsuit against Bankera, then we would know but until now I haven't read anything regarding that, all I read is that from the comments of the people investors or not that the project is a scam, actually, there's a lot of projects too that raise big money during the ICO and failed but until now I haven't read any news that they were arrested.

Lawsuit not easy in crypto world,very hard to prove things,thats way Bankera and other scams can easily escape...maybe for this reason they not operating in USA?because they know SEC can easy catch them....now,Bankera ICO was done by some company registered in Virgin Islands and after was collected money,they open 3-4 different company's in Lithuania to do  banking business(and use ICOS money?)..but,if you ask some questions Lithuanian authorities,they cant help,because ICO was done from Virgin Islands...

With how beautiful crypto is, the fear of unknown is just sacrosanct. Most of us just can differentiate between scam and real, good and worthy prospects.

If we are to count the number of ICO scams that were like Bankera, we will fill a good number of pages, which then shows that many investors have lost a good amount of money to so called trusted projects. As for me, I have the total opinion that ICOs will never show up again in this space talkless of succeeding because no one will like to fall victim of ICO scams ever again.

This is the way it should be but I doubt it, probably the worst characteristic an investor could have is to be lazy, think about it, it is natural to want to obtain profits in the market but when you do not want to make the effort necessary to reach your goals then you will try to find easy ways to do so and that is when HYIP and scam icos appear promising all kind of profits in a short amount of time and people fall for it despite the warnings we have given on the forum, and I am sure once the next bull run appears we will see once again people investing in all kind of icos and losing their money as a result of their mistaken decision.

They had a scam accusations already before they had launched their ICO in 2017. Well most investors during that year are probably brought by hypes and shillings, those scam ICO’s hit investors really hard and we all learned a lesson from that.

The main question was how did the investors buy or join into the crap project like bankera?I have been spreading the awareness about this before bankera ico has begun but so many investors were ignoring me

I did participate in the ICO of bankera back then. I was able to sell a few tokens here and there but most of them are still in my address which are quite worthless now.

This is not the only ICO project that turned scam after few years and they were successful from the beginning, these makes investors distrust ICO projects untill this day, now no one talks about ICO anymore, top exchanges makes IEO more stronger and reliable than ICO.

Most of investors back to those days didn't know about the rate of being scammed when join ICOs. Throw back to 2017, a lot of ICO projects were launched and most of them are scam projects. However, I'll be surprise if nowadays there's still people who believe in ICO projects like Bankera. It doesn't need to take 3 years to realize that it's a trash project!

I saw some of their ads in cmc fooling investors that they are doing marketing spending a few thousands of money came from millions they collected from investors this kind of behavior from project owners are not to be tolerated someone must file a case against them and forced them to refund the investment.    

The time of ICO is already over and those  projects that didn't survive during the long bear market will just disappear and investors will have to accept that they lose. I realized that ICO was a big gamble after the bull run only because I saw how it was dumped and the price has corrected, even ETH and other major coins, they are not exempted as the entire altcoins market suffers a hard fall.

A money grab ICO? I believe all evidence points to it, also it looks more like a scam. For a project generating such amount of money and yet couldn't bring up any good products and/or services after 3 years shows the team carefully planned the exit scam. There are still others like it and they are the reason whenever I come across anything ICO it pains me a lot because it takes me back to memory lane. As of today, I won't have anything doing with any ICO again, if the project is legit and genuine as the team always claim then IEO should be a viable option.

There are no really good ICOs in this market, all the ICOs in 2020 I see are completely bullshit. Only a handful of projects that have implemented IEO in these market-leading exchanges are reliable and we can invest in them.

Sadly Bankera could be one of the most successful scam ICO to be established. Seeing how big its capital to reach 41 Million USD. Some of the investors now are complaining and confused, Recently saw  they created a Scam Accusation for this project. Its really true that 95% of all ICO are always shady and usually turned to scam project. And where all the  supporters go? gone... like popping a bubble?

Gonetwork is still alive but it looks like the team was not even giving their responsibility for the investors. It looks like there must be a legal protection to the investors but some scam projects have refunded their money caused by SEC.

Bankera was a scam project and the team was full of scammers. They have lot of bad reputations, took the valuable assets of the investors. Many investors lost their funds. I don't believe their words about how much funds they had raised then from ICO.

Unfortunate for investors as they only find out that the project is a scam after the ICO.

It's the kind of trend we've seen in the past, they have a very convincing whitepaper, a team, and they are good in marketing, and since that time, ICO was still very popular, it's easy for them to attract investors with the support of the bounty hunters of course.

But look at them now, raise more than $100 million but can't even afford to list the project in good exchange, actually exchange is necessary as it would affect the reputation of the project too, if its listed in a shit exchange, people will look at this as a shit project too.

Which is why investors need to do their due diligence, it is easy to become hyped about a project when you see all what they want to achieve but if you dig up a little bit you will find contradictions and even clear attempts of hiding their identity, like using the pictures and resumes of someone else, which is a clear indication they will not reach their goals, after all the only kind of coins in which I could understand that the developers hide their identities will be privacy coins, so people should not forget to always try to find information that discredit a project before investing in it.

i am wondering what you are waiting to hear before you confirm that the project is a scam. i think they are still advertising their project as Ads on some certain websites. looks like they use the money gotten from the ICO to engaged in marketing. to cover up their hidden agenda, they float a trading platform. it is a hoarse. Just forget it if you invest.

What baffles me is, what are they building that is taking them 3 years and yet the community aren't seeing any update so far? There is a difference between a team taking 3 years to work but never failing to update the community on what they need to know, through this way, the community will keep hope alive while waiting. But on the other hand, if there is nothing to show for, then it is not far from an exit scam. Many projects are like that till today, some where all saying they are working on their project and all of a sudden everything goes mute and nothing is heard from them again. Sincerely I think that IEO really helped to curb this fraudulent activities, that is, with IEO shows possible listing, with possible listing, investors won't be played like in the case of ICO.

It certainly looks that way,.. I mean, this was one of the project's that created a huge buzz and hype surrounding its token sale and promises of solutions and products never seen. 3 years down the road, they haven't delivered a thing nor have they come up with reasonable excuses as to why they haven't been able to deliver on their promises. It surely looks like another money grabbing project that has disappeared into thin air. I only hope that investors can get them to repay what they have taken.

Bankera is one of many projects that, in the wake of the hype, raised money from investors and dissolved. Nobody will do anything already, they simply don’t need it. Therefore, you just need to come to terms with this and try not to do any rash actions anymore.

I really remember how Bankera created a hype. This was completely related to the integration of crypto into the real world. Back then, mass adoption seemed a tough job to complete and Bankera was one of the candidate if anyone supposed to believe. Now a great deal of money has gone and I sometimes wonder that with that amount of money how many of brilliant ideas would have come true. What a shame!

Dude, so many DT members have been giving a lot of awareness to the investors about the possibility for bankera to be the next scam project. The only thing that can be done by investors to take legal suit against them and get back their money.

It's a scam project, the 3 years that you are talking about is just their way out to enjoy all the money they got from their ICO. Meaning, while the investors are waiting for updates and any development, they already enjoy their life to the fullest. Investors didn't know that their money was already out of their reach.

This is something that you must forget totally mate because this is a Bad dream to be always remember,and upon checking about this company?

and Have you missed this thread 3 years ago?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2126829.0

Seems like they are really Nothing but Scam.

Not because they reached Hardcap meaning they are legit,sometimes the team is putting their own money just to make the project looks like legit.

Just accept the reality that this scammers won with their target,and make sure this will never happen to you again.

it will not back again , after three year there is no important update from bankera team. just forget and move forward to another project to recovery our loss in this project. with millions collected money this project should be great now , but its nothing and even beated by project with low fund.

One of the major problem of projects is long term sustainability, the team of most of this projects fail to plan how to support the project long term, keep it active and continue to develop it, they only have plans for their personal interest, they manage generate huge amount of money in the past but couldn't do much with all the money, even they could not follow up with the road map, it is a bad experience for investors.

When i first saw this project i was really excited about it and invested like 1 eth and i was thinking that this project will hit 10 cents within no time because it was really a high potential project at that time, ico price was 1 cent per bnk i guess but from then on the price kept going down, i hope they will realize that investors and supporters are waiting for them to deliver now so they should speed up their work now and come up with a full functional platform now.

I know this Bankera team better because I already faced the huge of by this team. The wallet they provide for the Android mobile is not a secure and also they do not have much control of this. I had lots of BNK in this wallet which I purchased from their ICO. But, one day when I open my wallet there was no BNK in my balance. When I query them, they said me it was stolen and by your own fault. So, since then I never invested for any ICO.

That means all of your money have gone with the scam team of bankera, right? It looks like the bankera team was putting back door to be able control all of the amount of bankera coin on such wallet.

This guy was also doing it to stolen all of btc from the its spectrocoin service.

If that's intentionally being done you really don't have anything to do, the team will blame you for not securing your assets.

Learned from what happened to you, always secure your wallet and do a research regarding to the team and the project that they've created before placing your investment.

It's truly your fault and not the projects fault, even if the project is a scam unless it's in their own website and their own wallet. You probably have a virus running in your computer, you should get rid of that before you lose more coins, there's a high chance that your emails have been compromised, you better change password and put 2fa in your account.

I also think that this is one kind of scamming chain process from them. Thus they can easily make million of dollars. Now i realise why they didn't use their fund to develop their project. Thanks for your point

It seems like the team was spending a pennies and keep the rest of the funds in their wallet. The bankera team must be sued as soon as possible and investors can get back their money again from the scammers.

several projects that are already in progress and have a development return the funds of investors who work and support them when the project is stopped but several cases of fraud that occur, certainly detrimental to investors. and the developer is eligible to be reported.

They are not completely silent, they have updated their website with more supported languages other than that I see no development on their project as if they are just making noises but nothing is being done if you're an investor to this project I advise you to assess the situation if you are going to hold or sell.

rest in peace Bankera (V.Karalevivius, M.Mockevicius, J.Dobiliauskas)
well run scam
now they have all the money to do their own business, and has nothing to do with BNK tokens.

Only a few percentage of the ICO are used for scamming purposes, rest have a completely different story behind them, most of the ICO go down because of the developers loosing their interest in the project and others get dumped hard on the exchange and then the developers don't get much funds to support further development of the project and thus abandon the project and go away with the left over money. Now a days it is riskier to invest long term in an ICO token as the chances of a successful token are less than 5% in the long run.

I have heard that they were starting to create a new scam project. These scammers will never stop and there must be a legal action against them. Those scammers will have stopped when they were jailed.
Investors of bankera must do that.

Yes, this is one of many hype project in 2017, so many people enthusiastic about the project and when start listed in exchanges the price pumped so high because of the bullrun era and when bullrun finished, and return to real market condition making many project can't to survive like bankera, and now bankera trading volume only around $1500, this is so bad. Learn from past for better future

I don't know this bankera project but it's expected since it's an ICO project, anything can happen to them at one point in time, I'm more into taking profits when I can, I don't ever have plan of holding ICO tokens and now that they are over well it's good, even if I have to hold IEO token it will be from binance exchange

Bankera when it was early ICO had a good development and had a decent trading volume, but when it had been years, the Bankera had shown their authenticity that their concept could not be a solution for the people so that no one used their product until now Bankera could be said as projects that have died because there are no developments that could trigger investors again.

I feel sorry man, 12k EUR is not a small amount of money. This is the root of problem in cryptocurrency world, scammers.
Because many scammers, investors no longer interested in buying cryptocurrency anymore.
We need to create some real projects in crypto that makes people get the profit from their money by putting it on crypto projects, otherwise there will be no trust in crypto projects.

Bankera team  ought to be arrested and heavily dealt with for fleecing investors money. Their daily volume trade is useless. what will they now do when DEFI projects are offering better services than they promised to offer.

Getting translators isn't what is needed at a time like this when the developers and team should be working on development of the project and securing more exchange listings to attract more users and investors. MHO will be that the project has lost steam and those behind it are only playing to the gallery as it were. Pointedly, the Bankera project is one big lesson (I ain't leaving out MB8 too) why many people don't trust ICOs any more. I remember the hypes on those two projects while the ICOs lasted. They never amounted to anything.

It's a pity some of my old friends invested hugely in Bankera, but now there is no form of development ongoing with the project. It's clearly one of those many "promise & fail" projects. Just like NAGA, which I invested a lot in, there is presently no form of activity with the project. We just have to be careful with the altcoins we invest in for long term.

Hey guys,

One journalist from Lithuania revealed in details all Bankera fraud. You can watch in Lithuanian language. It says that Bankera CEO's bought very expensive cars - such as Bentley. What is more, many powerful Lithuanian people were involved in this "project", who don't want to have anything in common with this project anymore. Bankera obtained a bank in Vanuatu for one reason - "to spend all ICO money in legal way" as they can't just take out all ICO money easily as it would be a fraud, however if you spend all money "trying to achieve your vision" and will fail - it's all legal and OK.

Bankera is Legal Exit Scam project: Video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wNy3LreQ04&t=3s

You should aware before the CEO of bankers was creating this money grabber project and it has been running the scam project that stolen a lot of btc from its customer and you should watch all of story about that.
IDK why investors are still believing scammers. that's strange for me to see that.

Bankera is simply a scam project. Everyone who got scammed by them should seek legal action.
The BNK token is clearly an unregistered security (major use of the token is the weekly revenue distribution - which
is basically a dividend being paid out. Even a report to the EU found that BNK is a security token:

https://eba.europa.eu/sites/default/documents/files/documents/10180/2545547/67493daa-85a8-4429-aa91-e9a5ed880684/EBA%20Report%20on%20crypto%20assets.pdf?retry=1

Check the table at page 7 ("Investment token").

A study for the EU states the same result:

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2020/648779/IPOL_STU(2020)648779_EN.pdf

Check page 23. They sold unregistered securities to you.

Now they try to establish themselves as reputated entrepreneurs by giving away minivans for charity (https://www.15min.lt/verslas/naujiena/pranesimai/maltieciai-vel-pades-kauno-neigaliesiems-sulauke-imones-bankera-paramos-231-1282846) or giving interviews on Lithuanian newspapers talking about creating new jobs in LT and being part of the Fintech hub there all to wash their dirty past clean and make people forget about their scam past.

hello everybody
we are scammed by Bankera , what can we do ?

I never like the project but was surprised they were able to raise so much money, although it is no the fault of the team but the market willingness to give them that such crazy money for nothing. This type of valuation is likely to happen soon with all these DEFI hype just learn form the past mistake

Hi. crypto-said......i see you banned too from chat.bankera:)..you was bad boy too? said something not nice about Bankera?
I read lately what well known persons on chat.bankera(Huup.Spi..are just paid scammers from Bankera:))...and another couple members not clear too..
Just big scam from day one....Needs really good advice from anyone,where i/we can write complain?Because should be way to do something?Or not?
They steel 151.000.000USD and now try to wash them?Maybe gonna do this true bad loans?Like Wirecard did?Maybe after Wirecard scam,some European institutions gonna look closer into Bankera????

I'm lucky, only invested 0.01 BTC, now worth $12 I think (BNK Tokens). But yes, this is scam obviously but could be worst like with some other ICOs, for example: $STAC (Coinstarter), $STQ (Storiqa), $VNT (Vanta) ... any many more.

Too many ICo's that started in 2017 has done this. SOme have hard exited as a scam and some just wait for investors to give up saying the project is under development ,saying they are running out of funds etc and then saying they are bankrupt.

If you were scammed by bankera and as an investor and what you can do to create a report about this scam project. You can find some US investors who have been getting scammed by this scam project and let them create a report for SEC.

Yes, I believe some U.S. citizens participated in this scam ICO. They could bring SEC into play.

Yeah I think some of the U.S investors are bringing Bankera to SEC. However, it will take a lot of time and money for taking them to the court. That's worthy if you lost a lot of money in Bankera. Though, if you lost not too much, the best thing you should do is to move on from the failure and consider it as a lesson that you learned in a hard way!

Hi we are a Telegram group of old ICO holders and given the denial of Bankera to give any answers we are in Telegram to discuss information and what can be done, you can join us to
https://t.me/Bankera_Jimmy_Vision

When I look at your feedbacks, I see that you are one of the past Bankera promoters. What happened? You were a part of the team and they kicked you, or why did you change your opinion?

Many of my friends invested on this ICO during the late 2018 and they are so disaapointed with the result of their investment. Im not sure whether the team still developing this project but I still seeing their ads on coinmarketcap. Maybe they already give up and just waiting for bankruptcy.

i can feel the grieviance from your silent voice through words but then it happens to every system that is not regulated as no one stands accountable to anyone. one of the major reasons why the crypto space is the way it is, is because of the lack of regulation and authorities are trying to ensure that because oly then can projects be held accountable ofr investors funds.

The team has been running away with all of the money mate, there was no reason for this platform to be bankrupt. You should aware if the team will never try to continue the development of this platform. The site and tele group have already gone forever.

Here is how they operate:

https://www.ceddit.com/r/Bankera/

They have more people running on deleting stuff and banning and muting people then they have on making some products.

It is not a scam. Do they have working website? Yes. Do they provide exchange services? Yes. Could you sell your token on exchange? Yes.

That you have lost your money because token lost on value is a problem of the market and your strategy. If we say that every token that lost 90% of its value is scam, then this forum is full of scam projects...  ::)

it caused by they were creating icos as money grabber only. in fact so many times people accused various icos caused by they were not developing or given the small update to the investors.
Bankera is actually scam project even since this scam ico was created.

People known about the truth of bankera.

mostly newbie accounts said that it was scam while higher level accounts dont say a clear answer if this was really a scam or not but i just check their website and its working , you are right though i dont check other features .

it is . actually this forum has lots of scams but not fully/totally . mostly those are ico's . i dont consider it a scam when price fell to 90 percent because even btc did experience it on the past  but it is a scam when it fall 100 percent and i never see a coin recover with that drop  .

Apologies for this, but I do need to point out a few things here, because it is unfair to associate me with being a scammer.  As you may know from the name, I am SPI, one of the so called well known people in the official community chat.  I am happy to answer any questions, because I have nothing to hide.  I just find it disgusting that Joye, the useless admin of the group, decided to mute us before deciding to tell the community how "we worked for Bankera".  Not only did he mute us, but he then deactivated our accounts.  Why?  They gave us no chance to defend/discuss the allegations.

For those that do not know, I have been involved with this project from day 1.  A small group of us were their biggest supporters.  Once the red flags started to show, I started to turn aggressively negative and was very vocal in the chat.  This is when one of their staff approached me (and Huup) to offer us silence money.  They essentially wanted to pay us off and play nice in the chat.  In return for this, we wanted information and progress that the company was indeed moving forward, which as you can imagine never come.  It was then we started being super negative again ... They clearly didn't like this and decided to remove us without any warning.  Their tactic of silencing 2 well known members and buying time worked ...

This group are the most disgraceful and dishonest bunch of people I have ever come across.  I am not biased here, because I also have invested five figures in this s*** project and to date have not sold 1 BNK ...

They definitely raised good amount of money and they have also talen ample time. Some new projects are already doing what bankera promised to provide so there should not be any excuses for bankera now. If they are serious they should speed up the progress and show the world that they are serious in doing this business otherwise i think community and authorities should take action against them.

Exactly!  Just look at Crypto(dot)com and Nexo, both direct competitors.  They are flying whilst this s*** project is flatlining! ... The sad fact is that Crypto(dot)com accomplished their success with 1/10th of Bankera's budget, a much smaller team and in a similar operational time.  They have managed to literally offer a whole suite of quality (and competitive) products, while these useless morons are translating and re-branding after 3 years! ... Let that sink in!

Sorry for your loss. But you did a mistake to invest in Bankera. Maybe you didn't make proper research about bankera. I can remember that in 2017 some bitcointalk Reputed members warned about bankera and made a thread about this shit. that there was so many controversy and people was warned not to join bankera. there is nothing to do, you have to move on.

Bankera is a project that i invested in a lot of money in. What i learnt from this experience is that never collect any investment advice from anyone always do your own research. I had someone that was always telling me its a good project and i believed, i was just putting in more money into it. and the sad thing was that it was not difficult to buy. You can buy as  many as you like

Sorry for your loss but it seems the scam now is quite different compared to previous ICOs. Since it involve a direct payment but investors and traders are really noob when it comes to this. Since even with anonymous team they are still investing their money even though the risk is too high. I am risking too but only those I can afford to lose.

hi spi. i used to follow your comments in chat. your a funny guy. huup and jimmyslander as well. i remember how many problems u gave admin. they must have really hated u, but then u started loving the project and now i know y. cant believe they bribed u. y did you do it. its so frustrating because im losinf money in this as well. i used to read your comments and agree with them, but they were all lies. shame on bankera for paying u off. absolute dodgy dealings for a bank. 

Your money has already gone. Those were only fooling you to invest in this scam project and it looks like they were getting fooled by the scammers that created this scam project too. I may think if they were also victim from this scam project.

i think a lot of investors have lost the battle during that ICO hype. not only from this particular project but there's a lot more. i invested also and lost, though not as big as others but that was my hard lesson from these ICOs. if you do want to invest, just wait for them to hit in the exchanges, because couple of weeks in trading, and their price will be very cheap, much below from their ico price or presale. but buy only if you know that they will have the chance to grow in the market, otherwise, dont be deceived by these money grab projects

You have to move on. Because they are scammers & there is no way to get a refund. This is not their first time they scammed before Bankera.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2126829.msg21243694#msg21243694
Link was given to warn the investors. Maybe you din't notcied that warn and invested in scam project.

I remember one of the founder was founded a company that provides bitcoin debit card and ended up scamming many people but despite of that so many people still invest into that guy project like crazy
so many obvious sign of scam and people still fall into it although we dont really know whether they really raised that much of money.

Hey mate, well we all wanted this project to succeed.  I was latching on to anything!  Don't forget that I met Craig Grant in NYC and the management team in London who all convinced me there is a chance.  Clearly it was all lies ... I cannot believe we are 3 years in and this project is at the point of 'translating' and 're-branding'.  That is insane!  It is pretty clear now that their true agenda is to build Pervesk, at the expense of Bankera ... Guess which company we do not share in.  Our funds are being siphoned by these morons.

Their bribe worked perfectly because it removed 2 very critical negative members (Huup and I) and allowed them the time to move forward with their real plan of stealing our money.  That useless moron Joye, who I despise, had the audacity to make out like we were paid employees, which was a blatant lie.  They tried to get us to sign a contract/NDA (with 50k liability) which we would never EVER do.  Instead we were to remain close to them and they would show us evidence that they were progressing in the right direction, and for that we were supposed to play nice.  They managed to string us along for a while, but when they were ignoring virtually EVERY message, it dawned on me that we are probably being screwed over.  I would have been happy to tell the group in the official chat, but they muted me without warning! ... I don't think you could have described it any better: "absolute dodgy dealings for a bank!"

Their project has taken away a lot of money from investors. The amount of $ 151 million is huge. the project can be compared with Bancor or Tezos. The value of Bankera tokens is very low and their trading volume is less than 500k $. This is a real scam, what they draw out just to get the investor's money.

im totally confuzed. nobody has said anything about what is going on. everyone is still waiting for weeky revanue. they have stolen our money. how can they b getting away with this. u would think an ico of this size would attract the attention of the regulators. as you are ex employee of bankera (hehe) what do you know or think is goind on.

I doubt they truely raised that much. They probably inflated the numbers to create FOMO with investors.
There's really no clue as to how much they raised but they can claim anything. I dont really believe they raised anywhere near these figures.

It is high time for projects like bankera to deliver for their investors and supporters now.
Bankera raised good enough funds to deliver the project but i do not know what is stopping them.
They also list there tokens on uniswap and provide some liquidity so that people who want to exit can do it.

They never try to publish the smartcontract or the wallet that has already used to raise the funds from the investors. I remember the bcnex case and it looks like the same thing happened with bankera as the project didn't raise as much as what already published before. it can be manipulated easily.

I am so disgusted at how the ICO community have been treated.  This is just f****** unbelievable!  I really do not see how they can actually get away with this.  I am involved in several private (and public) groups, some more brutal than others, and they are all complaining about the same things.  These guys are either incompetent or ungrateful ... although most likely both!

I actually take offence to you saying I am an ex employee as well ... I wish I never came across these bunch of arrogant wankers ... They ALL disgust me!

Reading all the comments here made me realize the vulnerability of cryptocurrency investors in investing everything they have on a project that, in 3 short years, has devalued way down than what it has before. I also invested on this before but my goal was short term profit and I was able to profit a little from it when I started to feel that it is going downhill. But that was a long time. It only shows that we need to diversify our investments and invest on multiple coins so as to prevent losing everything.

One key point now is to warn people to stay away from Bankera, Spectrocoin, Pervesk and all related companies of this scammers.
Don't use them as it might cost you your funds. And if they ever should come up with a new venture also better stay away from it.

The amount that I placed in this project can not be called large, but still it is my money that is a pity to lose. I still hope that the developers will return them on pain of criminal prosecution.

Last i heard about Bankera, around 2 years ago. They created good hyip in market by telling lies & fake promises. can still remember the way, they used to cheat with innocent investors by using fake identity. They didn't used to give theirs project update to investors cause they never try to do so and one day they got disappear. although  Bankera (BNK)is being trade on hitbtc exchange with only 2BTC trade volume, which can consider itself as a shitcoin

Hey mate, I remember how you used to also be a fellow defender of this project ... How times have changed!? ... I totally agree with you.  I am so angry that they have literally taken our hard earned money and treated us like this.  They are as arrogant and greedy as they are ungrateful!  It absolutely boggles my mind that they think this is how business is conducted.  Management are clearly not fit for purpose!

We are ALL still waiting for WR, which is several months overdue and they do not understand when their community complains.  They are an absolute joke!

I met Bankera management (Vytautas and Mantas) and the CEO of Pervesk (Darius) at ICE in London.  I had a discussion with them all and still left scratching my head.  They still did not understand that there is a HUGE conflict of interest between Bankera/Spectrocoin and Pervesk!  This is nothing more than a vanity project run by greed!

The only legit they have at the moment but unfortunately I didn't not see any start up coins trading in hitbtc that are successful, so they might not delist this coin due to low volume but it will not gain volume since most of the traders are focusing on other exchanges that are more liquid to constantly trade their altcoins.

They also have Hanbitco and DCM, but according to CMC, the confidence is low or 0. (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bankera/markets/)

We don't know whether Bankera actually raised that kind of money or not, because they were scammers, so what they said was not necessarily true. But in essence they have brought in huge amounts of investor money and their project looks dead. i regret having invested $ 1500 USD in this project.

IDCM has delisted the token ... What makes me sick, is that these twisted people did not want to inform their community about this.  I actually find that negligent.  It appears that the exchange knows exactly what we know and that is these twisted people do not care about the community and have neglected the very token they happily sold us!  It's disgraceful!

... Oh and we are still waiting for WR?  They have set a new record by not paying it.  They should be fucking ashamed of themselves!

i receive my WR for 14 weeks...16 USD for 2.000.000+BNK.... ;D ;D ;D ;D...

What happening now? Seems like deslisted from sHitBtc

Its hype period where many people want to invest their money to crypto, many of them are lack of knowledge and scammedd easily...

bankera is not yet getting delisted from the hitbtc but this confirmed as an exit scam coin.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bankera/markets/
I have checked the market and the bankera market on hitbtc is still active and some people were still doing some traders for this shit scam coin. You can check it directly on the hitbtc's site too.

If such bad conversations have already begun and the relevant information is released to the masses, then it is best to get rid of this asset. It is not the only one in the cryptocurrency market that can be used for subsequent market entry. Why risk it.

Woe to anyone who went into this project as they are not creating any value for the traders. They did not do anything to increase the value of the project. They raised a lot of money, enough to buy a bank and provide crypto-related services. In three years they failed to create a mobile application for their project. That is bad to compare with other projects. I assume they have scammed a lot of money from investors and they're just dealing with nonsense news updates.

funny....now.after they have my money,after 3 years,finally,they keep sending me emails spam every week with news,cards offers,accounts offers....they need more money:))))....3 years i not receive any email form scammers...now they wants something from me:))))....only one thing they can get from me now...(sorry cant write this here).......well,shortly you can order new Bankera cards,accounts,ibans..Spectrocoin card,awards from EU institutions.150.000.000 in offshore PPB,life beautiful for scammers...Guoga(main adviser(and maybe something more) elected to new Lithuanian parliament:)))...that else you can want from live:)))....

I also lost a lot of money with bankera also.
Nobody wants to file a lawsuit.
I'm sure one of them got a Lambo....

Just the way we had some stupid team behind the FAMOUS HETACHAIN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5043007.0) we had in the past, they announced that they raise about  millions and wanted doing public sales, only for the project to give unnecessary excuses few days to sales and disappeared to thin air, one need to be careful in this atmosphere.
The system has improved over time but one need to be extra careful when dealing with this projects.

Im much aware of this Bankera project and how it did hype up into those years were ICO projects do still fly with colors.I havent lost though but
i do lost in other projects as well which do have the same or similar scheme on giving out best promises  and potential about the project but it turns
out later on to be a scam yet they do just simply abandoned the project and didnt make out any progress or doesnt give out updates
which would really result into lost of interest.

What a great pleasure to login to their shitty spectrocoin platform to find out that you not only lost 90% of "investment" or ICO value but now they also started to charge "innactivity fee" so that they probably get as many of the BNK tokens from the market as possible. anyway, my BNK went directly into ETH and ETH out of that shitty platform.

Is there anybody actually suing these f*ckers? It sounds ridiculous that in Europe, people with their linkedin profiles posted on the page can scam people of over 150mil EUR and nothing can be done about it... :/

This is one of the biggest disappointment in ICO who raised milloins of dollars and can't even list the project in a decent exchange.
If they only liste it to different exchanges, they could have benefited on the bull run situation, but they didn't make an action and let this project die.

it's even lucky its still searchable at CMC, soon it will be gone and people will forget it, but now those who invested big money and have learn their lesson the hard way.

Sooo I was checking Bankera/SpectroCoin business for the last two months and I just can't decide anymore. Is Bankera still worth investing? Is it possible that they could show some results soon? I know that they released "Visa" debit cards in Lithuania and are strongly promoting it, but is this a step towards their goals or just for show?

Another thing - I read their whitepaper and it looks all neat and good, but, when I think about their goals, I just can't figure out if they really set some goals and, if they did, did they managed to achieve them.  ??? ??? ???

I invested a small amount in this project and got out quickly when the sell-off on HitBTC happened. This project is already making a lot of money on people. I no longer remember the person who suggested me to this project. It seems that raising capital at the peak of the bull market is an advantage, right now people have a huge FOMO sentiment.

Bankera team are scammers, I lost my investment fund, when the price went down the more, I bought more after the price heavily tanked. I left all my tokens on spectron exchange, I can't login anymore and says invalid login and I can't even reset my password. It's a coordinated scam.

There's no justice on this project anymore, it's an obvious scam. it collected millions of dollars during the ICO but look at their trading volume now.

As you can see, they have $6,194 24 hours trading volume which is very small compared to the worth of this project.
Sorry for your lost guys, but we need to move on and find other projects that could potentially help us get back our loses by being profitable.

They are only releasing the garbage product to lure more victims to join in their garbage service. The bitcointalk community known bankera owner so well as the scammers.
Bankera is not worth as investment. You have checked bankera and spectrocoin business and why don't you avoid this garbage project.
Bankera is dead now.

This scam project has gone and did you watch the development progress of this garbage scam project? There have been lots of dramas as well. Do proper research.

2017-2018 is the heaven for scammer to grab money, ICO was very hype. Nowaday people smarter then yhose scammer. Lesson learned. We as community also need to prevent any scam ICO, IDO,ILO or what ever you call it.spend or invest money only to registered company or legit developer. Dont feed the scammer.

Or choose IEO instead, less work because we just have to look at the reputation of the exchange, if its in big exchange like Binance, then most likely it's legit and the project has a potential. I know there are some successful ICO now but at least people are smarter ,they'll not just invest any announce ICO, they do some research now before investing, and we have a community to help.

Its easy understand when scammers grab money and after run away/hiding from justice....but now they feel like they did nothing wrong,like we give them money just for fun...government in Lithuania, financial institutions of Lithuania know very well who they are,but still gives them all permits to deal with money,isue cards(true Pervesk(same owners),looks like nobody even checking them....how this possible? ..because Lithuania fully corrupt country?Looks like answer YES....involved so big persons ex bank boss,ex bank president,main taxmen of Lithuania,couple  Eu parlament members,hard to believe some Lithuanian institution gonna start some investigation....corruption in top levels and another reason all Bankera octopus to big and powerful for local investigators..

And then why didn't try to search investors that were coming from US? I think that will be very easy to sue them all. The bankera has been running away with multi million dollars from the investors. They issued a few tokens to be sold in a higher price. These operators of bankera must be jailed forever.
It seems like lithuani is really worst based on your opinion. Why don't create a report to the CTFC?

I did some research, but I'm still a bit curious - what Bankera promised when it's cryptocurrency came out? Did they say that BNK price will go up and up or did they just granted, that every owner will get it's weekly share of revenue? Where there any other promises made at the time?

Currently Bankera is dying or even dead, the price of the token is falling very deep, it lacks a decent trading volume and exchange. Bankera and Centra are bitter memories for me, 2 big scam projects at the time and I invested in both.

They have updated their website with additional supported languages, but other than that, I notice no progress on their project, as if they are simply making noises but doing nothing. If you are an investor in this project, I encourage you to examine the situation and decide whether to hold or sell.

Does anyone has experience with their banking service at bankera.com (the exchange moved to exchange.spectrocoin.com, bankera.com is now a banking service)?

I see that the ICO was kind of scam, but that does not mean that the services they offer are scam. The fact that eg. their exchange spectrocoin does not have a very high trading volume is even a sign for not being a scam (the exchange itself, not the token), since there are still alot of exchanges faking their trading volume.

I'm not asking about their tokens, I'm asking about their services. Is it save to use the exchange or bankera.com as bank account? They have a e-money license, but does this prevent them from stealing my money I deposit there?

So is anyone using/used their services and can tell if they stole money/won't let you withdraw?
(of course I already searched alot for Info like this, but all you find is about their ICO and I'm not interested in their token)

This guy is the one behind bankera and spectrocoin. Spectrocoin was a very well known as a scam platforms. This guy was stealing a lot of bitcoin from the users of its service https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=317543

It's better if you are searching for all of victims that created so many scam accusation thread to the spectrocoin. Bankera was a scam and spectrocoin too.

That guy can run away with your money even when you are using your service.

Hello everyone, sorry for digging up this topic.

I was away for quite some time due to the bear market. I am just putting my accounts in order...

I had some Bankera tokens in Spectrocoin, but now they are gone.
Does anyone know what happened?

I know this could be a scam, but I had tokens, and they are quite valuable now compared with purchase value.
But my tokens disappeared. Anyone has idea what they did with tokens that were on Spectrocoin?

They introduced an account inactivity fee which automatically deducted tokens every month after 12 months of no login. Maybe this is the reason you lost your tokens.
Another scammy behaviour.

Bankera is ERC-20 network, so i don’t know why you didn’t holding in your personal WALLET as like myetherwallet or trust wallet those are highly secured for the long term holding. Whatever if they're disappeared so you never expected to back your coin. Although Bankera is almost dead coin, but you can sell in hotbit exchange still now.

Hello, Where you a USA investor who participated in the ICO ?

Yes, it's complete silence there. I still hold a few bnk tokens. I think it's dead. Previously, after purchasing, they used to give a weekly bonus payout in eth. It was a small amount, but it was consistently received. That time, it was like, now there would be a complete revolution in the banking system. Now I see it was just hype created to get the attention of the investors. I still hold those 1000x reduced bnk in my spectroscopic wallet. However not logged in since months as the value is now nothing.

Are you a US citizen ? I only ask to see if the SEC can take action.

No. Why? What kind of actions will be there from the SEC for US citizens if they hold BNK tokens? After the successful completion of the ICO, I read somewhere in the news that there was some audit or regulation applied to bnk project, and that went on for a couple of weeks. But I've never heard of the SEC taking any action against US citizens. Anyway, I am uncertain about the future of the Bankera project.

I recall that it was an era when ICO for the banking industry were all the rage, and many investors were drawn to the world of crypto-based banking. In some instances, ICO investors might have relied on somewhat loose parameters. A team with impressive credentials could be manipulated, a professional whitepaper could be crafted by others, and a website with a .io domain could be built by anyone. It was a realm of total freedom, and there were no checks in place to prevent individuals from launching fake ICOs.

A figure of 151 million dollars is a substantial accomplishment, even if it was the most meticulously executed scam in the ICO world at the time. Presently, money laundering can be easily facilitated, especially within the realm of casinos. They've likely absconded with all the funds they acquired.

However, can you believe that the actual sum is 151 million USD? I mean, websites can be manipulated, and even wallets can receive transfers from other wallets owned by the same person. I am suspicious of ICOs reaching figures above 100 million dollars; they might have manipulated the numbers to attract more investors. The actual proceeds may not be as substantial as claimed.

The above figure was most likely accurate. Bankera itself is just a proxy company for this entire operation. You have Spectrocoin and Pervesk that hold most of the funds. The CEO of Bankera confirmed on telegram that Pervesk is apart of the Bankera ecosystem and he is apart of their board. The Pervesk financial records is publicly available online as well spectrocoin and Bankers. As I said before, Pervesk has most of the funds with a 2022  of 58 million EUR in total assets.

The SEC is not always aware of illegal activity that goes on. From the information I collected in the past few days it seems as if Bankera ICO allowed USA citizens to participate with little KYC to check if they are acredited investors which means they offered the ICO to USA retail investors. This is considered an unregistered sales of securities because Bankera token itself is a security under the howey test and the Bankera ico is an illegal unregistered offerings of securities. This means the SEC can open up a lawsuit to Era Financial LTD (the company who owns bankera), Bankera CEO and Co-Founder, Spectrocoin, and Pervesk. Just because the SEC has not started a lawsuit yet doesn't mean that one won't come. I reported Bankera and Spectrocoin a few days ago to the SEC and I am awaiting a response. The SEC in recent years have been going after crypto companies and I think they will soon get to Bankera.

There have been around 81k contributors to the bankera ICO a few years ago and we can expect there would be a few of them were US investors. It's caused by we can't sure if the scammer behind bankera would care to disallowed the US investors to participate.

A bit surprised that how SEC is not even paying attention to this shit after the scammer has been farming so much money from investors.
I hope there will be an action to be taken against spectrocoin owner. This scammer is still free right now.
