Would you a trust a CEO with such a reputation?:  https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/bitcoin-machine-boss-landry-ntahe-was-linked-to-torturers-brcnrb9nv

"The head of a British company that operates bitcoin cash machines, which police say can be used to launder money, was in a gang jailed for torturing robbery victims."
"Landry Ntahe was in a gang that tried to rip out a man’s teeth with pliers"


The article referred to is factually incorrect and misleading, however, Landry did find himself caught up in the middle of a robbery, which is not mentioned in the article.

The title reads "Bitcoin boss WAS LINKED to torturers". Landry was arrested but found Not Guilty for the particular crimes mentioned in the article. He served 2 and a half years for crimes unrelated to those mentioned. Prior to this, Landry had spent his teenage years studying at Kaplan business school for his ATT and in 2008 began his accounting degree at London Metropolitan University with an ambition to become a fully licenced ACCA accountant.

Landry was interviewed by the Daily Mail for this article and gave the facts of the case proceedings that they chose to omit, instead of misquoting for sound bites.

Landry has since turned his experience into a positive, using his time to study and on his early release for good behaviour, Landry began apprentice work coaching children in football and other skills as well as other volunteer jobs working with young people.

His experience motivated Landry to make a success of his life and he founded BCB-ATM in 2015.

Since then the business has grown dramatically and is now the UK’s largest operator of Bitcoin ATMs in the UK by working to high levels of ethics and compliance. BCB-ATM is regularly in conversations with the Police to ensure BCB-ATM’s are not used for nefarious purposes.

BCB ATM is a well-respected and trusted operation which now has high ambitions to expand the business and bring digital currencies to the high street, making it accessible for people of all backgrounds.

Greetings, I was drawn to this from a recommendation of an old friend so I have done some preliminary research. Usually on ICO's there is chat on the site or better contact information to ask questions which is more convenient than signing up to forums such as this but never the less after googling I am here now.  I presume The CEO is taking the newspaper to court? Getting linked to criminal gangs who torture people really is not good if they lied about that there should surely be a huge court case.

With regards to the project I have questions and they may seam sceptical but I do expect good replies please so we can further evaluate our stance on the project:

1. How can 1 blockchain process transactions of coins faster than their native chain? (I think you cant.). You can have 1 million tx per second but without bitcoin keeping up what is the point?
2. Why is having 1 private key in control of all your crypto safer (it isnt especially on mobile phones)?
3. Selling my Bitcoin at specific ATM's and making Arbitrage? Where exactly does the Arbitrage happen?
4. Is this the same guy who did an ICO for Ethbits? Dmitry Sergeev https://icoindex.com/profile/ethbits-etb? I quickly checked Ethbits it is an exact copy of iq options and it is not even finished. Is there any other way to analyse this developer?
5. What exactly is the point of this ICO? It seams it is just raising money to expand the number of Bitcoin ATM's and make the company even more money. How will the ICO participants benefit from any of this?
6. Will there be a chance to meet the team?

I will check back in a few days for the answers. Thanks in advance.
