Overview second case

In an articel today our friends from Financial Telegram are asking for help related to three (or just one?), mining related, austrian based Mining Frauds.

http://fintelegram.com/request-for-information-omnia-tech-cointed-and-blockbase

Our first impression is, that both cointed and omina are Vehicles similar to MLM companys with the ability to collect a lot of money. And it seems that both of them are using another austrian mining company calles Blockbase ( https://blockbasemining.com ) and theire facilites to make propaganda for themselves. You can see they same pictures on the BLockbase homepage (they already removed them, but you can still find them online on some places like: https://news.bitcoin.com/large-european-power-company-will-not-sell-electricity-to-crypto-miners/blockbase-mining-facility/ as you can see on the omina mining ads like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfATvXk82c or in the cointed mining ads like: https://www.facebook.com/cointed/videos/1487816527951172/

So we have three mining companys that claim that this is there location. Thats the first red flag that we found.

We are interested in community information about all three companys to learn more about how the have been wokring together and if this could be one big scam with gigantic amounts of euros involved. Our first informations allow us to guess that the damages are supposed to be greater than 100 million euro.

We are looking forward to receive information here in the forum and or through pm.

I would like to announce two cases today that I would like to start working on:

The first one is:

Arbitractoin (ATC)
https://arbitracoin.com

Overview:

Arbitracoin is a fraudlulent Bitcoin Collectoin sheme that has raised between 3000 and 4000 bitcoins in an ICO that has been started at 01.02.2018
Various Multi Level Marketing and E-Commerce "Veterans" have pushed this scam on different levels. Our working theorie is that there is no real product (exept the marketing efforts) behind it.
We assume it was typical pyramid fraud with the single purpose of collecting bitcoin and vanish in the wind.

Status Quo:

So far we are trying to identify the related bitcoin public keys to use blockchain forensic tools and help finding out where the coins went. One of our Forensic experts is already working on this. We have already identified one single adress which has collected more than 1.000 btcs in a very short time and are following the leads.

Next Steps:

If you have any background knowledge or if you have been an investor please share as much information as you can. You can choose to share it here in the forum and or in a pm.

Sounds great! Help is always welcome! I have already started working on a fraudulent ICO. I suspect that a few individuals have stolen between 3000 and 4000 Bitcoins in Austria/Germany Area. I have just started collecting information but its already very obvious what happened. I will do a little bit more digging before I share the name and ask involved people and investors for statements to do initial examinations. peace

Dear Community!

I am an early Bitcoininvestor and I was really fortunate so far. I came into Cryptocurrencies because I believed (and still do) that it will make our world a better place. Unfortunately everything related to money also attracts fraudsters/imposters of any kind. I would like to give back to the community by dedicating some time into investigation some frauds that i come across.

 I have extensiv forensic experience as an accountant and former employee of a government regulation body. I will try to use my expertise and help the community to see the truth behind scams/frauds and bad/greedy people and bring them to justice.

I will choose the topics I dedicate my time to random and I am also open for suggestions from any side. Of course your help is also highly appreciated!

Looking forward to some interesting work.
peace
