1  Economy / Scam Accusations / BITTO ICO +Ismail Malik Scam on: April 27, 2019, 01:03:54 PM
Someone told me to post again on this board. if anyone has any info or can help please let me know.
Especially to do with "Ismail Malik" and his web of ICOs he advises.

Hello,
I am writing on behalf of investors in a particular ICO that i know well. This ICO has failed to deliver a year on, with a barely functional platform and very poor communication from the team (just to give an example, the last medium post made by the team was more than 6 months ago). Not only is there a 24 hour volume of barely a few hundred dollars, the ROI has been over -90%.

Yet the ICO raised millions of dollars before launch. The adviser to the project owns his own company and website, and is fairly public, unlike a lot of the team who may possibly be fake. We also know the admins of the project are involved in illegal activity. The adviser is also suspicious because he advises more than 10 ICOs, a large number of which seem to be scams. So tracking these people could also help with other investigations.

What I request from the community is anyone willing to help us; for example if anyone has access to blockchain analysis software (it is an ERC-20 token if that helps) that could help us link some wallets we know belong to them. In this way we can find out how exactly the ICO millions were spent or at least where they went.

And if anyone wants to do some digging of their own, I will happily provide all the information I have so that we can jointly bring the scammers to justice, or at least provide solid proof of their businesses.
Let me know if you can help, or send a PM if you want to see which ICO this is and see if you can find out anything else.

Thanks so much,
J.Foster


EDIT: Full details:
BITTO ICO, raised 4.5 million.
The first thing that made me suspicious was "Marko Rajevic." Go here: https://icobench.com/ico/bitto-exchange and look for Marko under team.
Then look at this picture here: https://github.com/markorajevic?tab=overview&from=2019-04-01&to=2019-04-17        
Same name, different people.

Then, I talked to investors of Bitto, 99% were convinced it was a scam, if you look up bitto on coingecko you will see the shocking price drop. The idea behind the project was an exchange, a terrible idea, and if you see bittoexchange.com, you will see how badly developed this is.
The last medium post from the team was July 2018. The telegram admins are involved in dodgy things according to my sources.

The supposed CEO of the project is "Nic Shin", only available on linkedin and who knows if he is a real person.
The adviser, Ismail Malik, owns blockchainlab.com and here is his twitter. https://twitter.com/DisrupTiv
I sent him an email before via his company but it has been completely ignored. He advises over 10 ICOs, a number of which are scams: https://icobench.com/u/ismail-malik
He might be one of the key scammers behind this project.

Here are 3 addresses linked to token sale and hopefully which can be used to find out where some of the funds went.

If anyone has access to blockchain analysis software this would be very helpful.

Let me know if you can help.

Base on your statement, you didn't mentioned what ico project is that pal. Do you have any link for that particular project?
It is shows only for me that you are only telling an story on which has no basic reference. Though, I know there are lot of ico raised a millions of dollar but at least those news have link to find out but yours don't have any? and why you need to keep it a secret here, if you can send it here the link if that is true.

Can I send the details to you by message? In particular there is one individual who I wish to talk to, Ismail Malik. https://icobench.com/u/ismail-malik

That wasn't the coinstarter ICO perchance? I lost $3,000 in Eth on that and got banned when I questioned their communication. It was a bugger that one because it had all the signals of a good, solid project that was unique and could possibly do well. The team were super communicative at the beginning too.

I've put that 3k down to bad judgement though. I still have my coins.

No unfortunately, although sorry for your loss. There's some stat about the % of ICOs that fail that is particularly alarming. Let me know if you wish to help via PM.

More important for us right now is to look for crypto site owners. Remember that our email cbsas@tutanota.com is the best way to contact us.

Hello again,
We are looking for bloggers with experience who would be able to write a review of a ICO.
We are also looking for crypto website owners who wouldn't mind posting such reviews (the writing would be the property of the website owner) of this product. We could write these reviews for you.

If you are interested, message and we can give you all the necessary details.
Preferably email: cbsas@tutanota.com

What kind of payment will you use?  Btc/eth payment?  
I recommend mr. Blankcode. I have been into a bounty campaign which the whitepaper was created by Him and managed by julerz12 if i am not mistaken.  The whitepaper  Has professional look,  understandable.
How much will you charge? This is a small task, so we dont want the escrow fee to be high.

Hello,
Our ICO team has produced a whitepaper. However, we need help with formatting to give it that "professional" look which it is currently missing. Simple things such as fixing spacing and contents pages.

We also need better aesthetics, things like good background colours and font to make the whitepaper look as good as possible. All the writing and content is already there.

Contact me at cbsas@tutanota.com for more info. Escrow accepted.
Hello,
I can help with whitepaper
Contact me via Telegram @AidarAskarov

Someone will talk to you soon.

My client has a crypto trading related product (blog site explaining how to trade crypto for beginners) and they would need someone to create a complete follow up email series for them.

Please send me your application via DM

I have had a tremendous amount of experience, in fact a few days ago I wrote this article https://www.deepdotweb.com/2018/04/09/coincheck-hackers-have-laundered-all-of-their-nem/
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: $500 million Coincheck hack: Full story + Unique pictures of darknet on: April 11, 2018, 11:08:05 AM
That picture of Kim with piles of cash is very disturbing.

Anyway, there's not much the governments can do with the hack now, as it seems the money has already been liquidated. This should serve a lesson for other exchanges too because the repercussions of these hacking incidents aren't limited to crypto, for all we know it could've been used to fund WMDs.

Yes, in fact the picture is taken from a dailystar article. I'm surprised that the site is still up today, it shows the level of confidence the hackers have in not being discovered. Who knows where the money will end up.

Hey, I've just posted this on DeepDotWeb. https://www.deepdotweb.com/2018/04/09/coincheck-hackers-have-laundered-all-of-their-nem/

Wondering what you guys think? The picture of the hacker replying to a support ticket was quite surprising to me.
 Sad that they have got away with it as well.


How do you think these hacks should be avoided?
Do we need more government regulation of exchanges or should we avoid this at all costs?

Thanks for your opinions.

hack will be avoided by better decentralization of the trading and exchanges, such as atomic swaps technology for example. You can take a look at bitcoin atom, they're launching atomic swaps through their nodes this month.
Although decentralization of exchanges will greatly improve the security measure for the user, currently, there are no such promising decentralization exchanges being developed. Well, that is my opinion, but actually, we urgently need the missing promising decentralized exchanges because I believe the government's regulations will be stricter.


Your opinions on developing DEXs such as Komodo and Blocknet? We can all agree something like Etherdelta is a nightmare to use.

 Very organized action of the hackers, quite impressive.  NEM sure will have a lot to catch up from now on.

Exactly, the avoidance of the mosaics required creativity. It is very worrying that the hackers could be North Korean.

Interesting, I will have a look. Right now all the DEXs are either very low liquidity or very hard to use. Atomic swaps will need the Lightning Network, which we have been waiting for a long time. Hopefully we see the technology develop soon. Personally, the KYC/AML regulations everywhere should be worrying for crypto users.

I don't think they will require lightning

already komodo and blocknet are able to conduct atomic swaps. Those two should come on strong in the next few months.

dex are the next natural steps in this arena and it is a shame it has taken this long

You are right... You don't think Komodo is just a better version of Blocknet?


Hackers are one of the worst evils in the cryptocurrency industry, along with several states, business banks and various speculators. We need to increase the level of security measures, especially in the exchanges that are the most vulnerable and it would take as soon as possible a general regulation to protect the entire sector, especially investors

Understood, but surely the more regulations we introduce, the less decentralised it all becomes. Exchanges could very well become the new banks.
