Great article thanks 👍 This has gone viral all over the net! Just google the latest on Keplertek scam, Giorgi Topuria and Reuben Godfrey. Our agency already received numerous inquiries from other crypto bodies who also want to do articles and investigate these fraudsters. It looks like the crypto community is finally waking up to fact that we need to self regulate and hold these charlatans accountable 💪

Seriously  Angry I am founder member of this project, and still haven’t received all my token like many other, while the coin has lost all value and listed on deadcoins! There is zero communication in all the groups and platform, just some idiots fighting with each other in the bounty chat. What blows my mind is after 2 years with nothing to show and no use for the tokens, and none of the original team left, there are still people so thick as to think this is a legit project and they will get their investment back. Soon the token will be delisted from that shady exchange with zero trade, they have already started freezing peoples withdrawals. Good luck to the fools who think Kep will still be worth something 😂
Easy for you to say, you're not an investor, you're just a bounty hunter. And many people can lose their investments. Hence the belief in a bright future. And no need to insult people who want to see something that may no longer be.
I think a lot of people are harmed here more importantly investors have more money but like that the risk and hopefully everything can be replaced with a better project than this, so be patient it will be better if we do it now it is worth the team never cared about the project

Believe me I know exactly how far the implications of this scam goes, and yes I am an investor who lost a lot, but also support the service providers and former employees who were screwed over worse, many of them were close friends who were also lied too and dumbfounded when they realised everything was just smoke and mirrors. So yes we have better projects and some legit failed projects which the risk was acceptable, but for this one the constant lies and bulshit with smoke and mirrors for such a long time and people close to me who had their lives uprooted and months wasted working for these pricks have crossed the line too far. Plus they ruined a great idea at the dawn of the new industrial revolution by being greedy scamming lying con men. Wrath and hatred is all I harbour towards them!

Fuck you asshole🖕🏽 I have not participated in the bounty campaign, do you even know how much you have to invest to be a platinum member? Way more than you had invested if you even did. That said, you arrogant prick, do you think it’s okay to fuck over bounty participants, who marketed this bullshit all over the net?

You must be one of the scammers too, to attack the victems and belittle the bounty guys, how about all the service vendors who where screwed over and never paid or partially paid, or the employees who were taken to Georgia and wasted months of their lives dicking around and then being fired and blamed for the failure of this project. Some were professional people I had a relationship with. Or how about being lied to with a straight face by Giorgi, who always had tales of grandeur of investors and projects lands and buildings labs and factories, when all was just a crummy office in downtown Tbilisi with some props and shitty video clips. So call me a bounty hunter again you insignificunt little fuck🖕🏽 I have lost a lost a lot of money to this scam, I had to apologise to many of my associates whom I convinced to also invest in Keplertek because they trusted me, and warn others who were interested in investing large amounts, which was embarrassing. So yes I am pissed off with these scamming sons of bitches and the cowards like you who support them in the hope hope of minimising your own losses. They have screwed over the wrong people,  and that bald fuck and his lying protege will get what have coming one way or the other!

You guys still don’t get it, you were scammed. I haven’t received the tokens I purchased during the final sale, after all this months, not that it will make difference anyway, because the coin is already dead before I even received the tokens I paid for: https://deadcoins.com/entry/3844/?gvid=1308
Wapinter ran a long time ago, and wesglobal left before distribution of the bounty. And I have been informed that scammer wiredideas with wesglobal, has now did the same thing over at decoin. So accept it that it was loss and check bitcointalk and each team member before invest money or time in a project. This scam has cost me $US 10K, so it’s not easy to throw all that away, but I have learned a hard lesson. The guys from shitcoinofferings was 100% correct: https://shitcoinoffering.com/another-godfrey-scam-kepler-technologies-collected-14-million-bucks-preparing-exit/

Is wapainter escrowing bounty funds? ANN and graphics looks shady and it's not what I expect if someone promises "Kepler". True expecations of Kepler are ancient science, innovation of old, but proven technologies, round groud and geometrical drawing.

This is Kepler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler

You are correct, this Wapinter and wesglobal syndicate are just scammers trying to make a quick buck out of unsuspecting crypto investors and fooling bounty participents into doing their dirty work by promoting these scams. And hell no, they do not use an escrow, everything about them is unprofessional, just like the project of Keplertek. They shame the name of a great scientist like Kepler by using his name to scam people, and creating a hyped up project built on lies. Here you will find both Wapinter and wesglobal who abandoned the Keplertek scam, happily continuing to fool people at decoin all over. : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3311450.new#new

I just noticed that KEP TOKEN is already listed at deadcoins.com as a failed token : https://deadcoins.com/entry/3844/?gvid=1308

Really these people have cheated many members like Investors and bounty members which till now nobody didn't receive their tokens to their wallets. It is already listed in token because they have taken all the peoples money which they don't have any active team behind this project.
even though the project looks very interesting and potentially, but everything is reversed, the token bounty is not paid? the last update on social media in January after that they were without news, very sad

I am a platinum investor who lost 40k$US due to these dickheads. Now I here the KEP I hold is listed on deadcoins. Makes me so mad, and the syndicate who lied to me disappeared from Keplertek and blocked me, and now I found out they are happily scamming people over at decoin : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3311450.new#new

The two scammers I noticed there are : Wapinter and wiredideas
Can someone please bring them to Canada so I can have a private chat with them!

So I  posted here a month back about this project keplertek.io and how they've scammed their hunters... you can check out the link here..

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114598.msg49951689#msg49951689

I quickly reported the project to shitcoinoffering http://t.me/shitcoinofferingchat but it seemed like not much could be done as bounty hunters where the victims here.. and no legal actions could be taken against them

But too my gratest surprise.. the nice looking ceo.. who's face is still visible on website has decided too scam his investors as well ... you can see here the telegram chat has been muted http://t.me/KeplerTechnologies , bounty community deleted...

How do we progress with people like this on the crypto space?? These guys are ruthless thieves without guns and they will milk you dry when you fall into their hands

I'm not a investor of this project... but I'm so fucking pissed right now that I helped in promoting it

https://icobench.com/ico/kepler-technologies

Also check out the article from shitcoinoffering https://shitcoinoffering.com/another-godfrey-scam-kepler-technologies-collected-14-million-bucks-preparing-exit/


in the crypto world a lot of fraud happened to investors who had donated some of their money to the progress of the project, but the results they got were very cruel ... therefore we must be very careful when we want to invest in various ICO projects ... if the bounty hunter is sure it's been very often tricked by various projects and various s
fraud factors that occur...

No serious investor will touch an ICO anymore, no matter how great the project is. And that’s because rotten assholes like these have been screwing investors over with impunity. They have ruined it for everyone not just investors. It’s not a victimless crime as people may think. I have lost a lot of money to this scam, If I ever run into this Godfrey or Giorgi they will regret the day they were born!

Shit, this is crazy the Founder members are dumping their tokens across the board while the rest of the investors are waiting for Giorgi to announce that Kep is listed. I feel like a complete asshole but I held 900k in my bag which I didn’t want to hold for another second, and Giorgi is telling us to sell it through SBScapitals so he can scam us a second time in row that son of a b....

I’ve shared these links on all my social media, and will continue to do so! I may never recover my investment, but I will not allow these criminals to go on and scam other unsuspecting investors with a fresh new scam!

15  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Keplertek SCAM - collected $14 mln and are preparing for an exit on: April 19, 2019, 09:01:21 AM
Good Day People,
I can back everything said here on this forum as i have invested in Keplertek almost one year ago when token price was $1.25.
Every week now more and more people are becoming suspicious of Giorgi and what has become of Keplertek...which is nothing.

Yes today he did appear in an official keplertek chat group sounding like he did six months ago. Only now he claims he has moved main office to Singapore to distance himself from the SEC . But that will not stop us from hounding him. He can dodge the SEC and the Georgian Prosecutors Console...which Giorgi is politically connected in Georgia.
I can tell you first hand after signing into the platform that it is no different than it was four months ago...nothing more than a poorly designed website. Keep in mind that he claims they have been working tirelessly on it.

Along with the sudden transition to Singapore Giorgi claims that USA residents are banned from Keplertek. Not allowed to invest. And he claims their investments will be frozen.
Now i know first hand the USA residents. They were even the so called Ambassadors. They supported Giorgi up to the end of 2018. Then everything went south from there with repeated nothings....Oh the market is the blame. No the market isnt the blame..Giorgi is the blame as he got rid of everyone or they left on their own for greener pastures.
Anyone from SBScapital......you have been warned. Giorgi...you have been warned. There are many people who are not happy with the way you operate.

Having your CEO boasts that he has fled to another country to escape prosecution for stealing your money, is not a fun way to start the weekend. But look at this way, to taunt and mock your investors by basically saying “nanana look at you can’t catch me” is not only beyond bizarre, but it’s stupid af. This is basically an admission of guilt from his side. And although I believe he is bluffing, and the people in the founding member group told me he is just visiting the SBScapitals head office in Singapore, and he will be back to head up the Tbilisi office soon, it was very reckless of him to tell you guys that and admits to the whole world that he is a scammer trying to hide out from the authorities. Wtf Giorgi? The way I laughed when I saw those screen shots 😂. He probably never heard of interpol,  and they have a NCB there supported by the Singapore International Cooperation Department (ICD) . And he forgot that he owns assets in Georgia and Europe, which does not require his physical presence to when our asset forfeiture unit comes knocking 😎. So his arrogance will cost him dearly when we come down on him.

Who does that? It’s crazy admitting to investors that you are hiding out from the authorities! This guy must really think he is Bonny&Clyde making such statement. I can kick myself every time when I think how stupid I was falling for this scam way back and investing a substantial amount. I really hope all investors will do what I have done, to file a report with the SEC and the Georgian police! And may they catch this criminal wherever he tries to hide!

Here are the latest updates from Keplerk, and some good news for the bounty participants :
Along with the promise of a video being released tomorrow that will explain everything.

Dear Kepler Community,
We have fixed dashboard issue, now you can log in to your account without any obstacle
Thank you for your patience,
Keplertek Team

Strange that nobody were notified that it was not functioning in the first place, or given any reason why it was down for so long? We smell a rat and believe the shutting down of the dashboard was for sinister purposes and to cover their tracks by removing original information.

People who has not yet received their purchased tokens must “claim” them again. We’re not sure why this was emphasised by the CEO

Some good news for the bounty participants:

After a year long wait, your tokens will be distributed by tomorrow. Although we doubt the amounts will be anywhere near what the bounty participants have raised.
But hey at least it’s something, although the tokens are useless with nothing backing it after a whole year of working on this project.

The CEO also stressed that the tokens will be unlocked and listed on an exchange this week, and two other exchanges will also be added soon afterwards.

Since the week is almost over, we doubt the CEO will be true to his word and that exchange listing will still happen before Easter.

Adding insult to injury, there is no value or use for this token, with nothing backing it because nothing was achieved during the whole past year. So expect a flash crash if listing do occur.

The way we see it, is the same as we have predicted before, which is that to make the project look semi legit, the tokens will be listed and then the few left in Keplertek will make a hasty exit, after they dumped their tokens on top of the investors.

All Bulshit and lies! That’s all Keplertek investors get fed on a daily basis!

They promised the token distribution will be finished: Nothing happened!

The CEO promised tokens will be listed on an exchange this week: Nothing happened!

The CEO promised to release a video with an explanation and updates this week: Nothing happened!

This guy has no shame! Spouting lies and fairytales almost daily, and then just keeps quiet and leave the community alone to try and figure what went wrong!

I hope the last of the sheep that was hanging on to the idea that Keplertek is not a complete scam, by now had their eyes opened and filed a report with the SEC! Start holding this conman accountable for making a fool out of you on a daily basis!

This is not even funny anymore, they could at least given us something before Easter, but no just mocking us with empty promises. How does a person become so messed up to do this to investors?

So this it, after 6-months of the same promises that never came true, we’re still getting the same old tired lies. Today I was told the exchange listing is really close. It’s been close for the past 6-months. “Soon” and “close”, “near” and “almost” those are the only words in the vocabulary of this CEO. Not that anyone would want to see an exchange listing now, it will be the end of Kep! But being told the same lies over and over week in and week out, it’s really getting old now, and makes me more angry with this stupid conman.

⚠️WARNING⚠️ Kepler Platform⚠️
 Be careful of the new platform! A few days ago the CEO of Keplertek issued a new link to the Kepler Platform(http://platform.keplertek.io) under the guise of improving communications. Soon afterwards we have started receiving complaints from users stating that something more sinister may be at play here. This comes at a time when everyone is busy switching over to the platform, after the Telegram group discussion was totally disabled.

⚠️For starters you will notice a warning in most browsers: that this address is on an “unsecured” domain, this alone should be a red flag to users that all your data will not be safe, nor private when entering here.

You will also notice that the platform is incomplete with none of the options functioning. You cannot access the settings, even to change your personal privacy and security settings. But that’s not all, just about every link, and option on this webpage is disabled, so basically you cannot do anything there besides register and send a message.

Another concerning issue brought to our attention by a concerned Kep investor, is that you cannot close or delete your account should you wish to do so. Once you have registered on that platform, your account will be there for life, with all your private information available to anyone.

We urge users to be very careful around this platform, especially w.r.t private information‼️

If your internet security warns you that url is insecure, and knowing that this comes from a scam project, and having received numerous reports from users, stating that besides being useless, there are something sinister going on here! ⛔️We therefore recommend our readers to steer clear of it completely, and if you are forced to visit that platform, ensure you take all the necessary security precautions and have the latest security software running, in order to protect your private information and crypto❗️

Noted 👍 Thank you for letting us know!

This makes sense now, I was wondering when Giorgi told us to register on the platform, why my security software gave me all those warnings. I couldn’t even upload a profile picture or setup my profile correctly. I was thinking to myself, why would Jaba and Angel release such an incomplete platform? But now I understand it’s not just me. Thank you for taking the time to warn other investors and making the truth get out to all! I will definitely be careful with my info and crypto!

Just curious, did any of you read the whitepaper? If you did then why invest? It seems poorly written and very vague.

What concerns me is the ICO rating sites have this thing a really good rating when it should have been warning signs. I guess when the gold rush fever sets in people just dismiss red flags.

I hope you guys get your money back.

You are correct of course, but you must remember, with hindsight comes clarity!
It took me almost two years to accept the reality that Keplertek was a scam from the beginning! Looking back now I can see the obvious warning signs, and I kick myself to have been so stupid as to buy into this con, and it hurts!

You must remember that the original white paper was changed several times shortly after the pre-sale, so it was more awe inspiring and inviting in it’s original form. I know now that the hundreds of ICO ratings agencies giving them full marks, are nothing more than paid shills! The same goes for all the publications in crypto media, painting a picture that this project will one day take on Silicon Valley.
And they had a large bounty campaign promoting them across the board in every sphere.

Like any successful con, they spent most of resources on building a public image of grandeur. They had countless videos featuring themselves and employed an impressive team of staff, of whom more than half of them were oblivious to the fact that they are part of a scam, and later became victims themselves of this scam, some even more so than investors.

One thing that struck me ass odd at the beginning, but also made me fall for this con, was that they always insisted on speaking to investors on video chat, showing off the team and providing full access to the CEO and team members. They did this up to the point where it became annoying chatting to these bunch of Georgians almost daily. So this should have been a huge red flag to me too!

And if had read all these articles about Reuben Godfrey before, instead of all the good things found in a google search, I would never have invested:
https://shitcoinoffering.com/stopthefakes-ico-pinkertons-from-russia/

https://shitcoinoffering.com/ieo-mortons-fork-salvation/

https://shitcoinoffering.com/no-country-for-shit-advisers-part-2/

https://shitcoinoffering.com/another-godfrey-scam-kepler-technologies-collected-14-million-bucks-preparing-exit/

So to add to your post, yes we should have checked and known better as investors, but without hindsight, things are not so obvious.

I doubt we will get our investments back, but at least the world will know who these two scammers are, and they will have a hard time fooling future investors in their new scams.
20  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: KEPLERTEK HAS SCAMMED HUNTERS AFTER 8 MONTH WAIT SINCE ICO on: April 14, 2019, 02:14:15 PM
I am a investor from Canada who purchased a substantial KEP in the pre-sale. I have been following these threads from the the sidelines ever since the article https://shitcoinoffering.com/another-godfrey-scam-kepler-technologies-collected-14-million-bucks-preparing-exit/ was first published on reddit. Coming here, I first thought that people were being paranoid and overreacting because Keplertek had missed their deadlines so many times.
I believed the fairytales Giorgi were telling everyone, and decided to keep quiet and watch what happens. But after a few weeks of reading these threads, and seeing through the lies and contradictions stated in the official group, I can no longer remain quiet and be a spectator. A friend of mine from the E.U who was one of the founding investors that are close to the core team, literally confirmed my worst fears and that most allegations in the article and this forum are true. He told me that they are basically living in fear of retaliation, and that Giorgi has already kicked out and banned more than half of the admin team, in fear that they were exposing the truth to investors, and he fears that he himself and the few remaining founders will be next inline to be kicked out.
The last straw for me was seeing the screenshots where Giorgi banns Americans without refund, because I realised that will likely include us Canadian investors too. He then goes on to mock them by stating he is with SBScapitals now, based in Singapore where they can’t touch him.

I had enough and decided to do all I can fro my side! This weekend I filled in that SEC report, it’s long and a bit of a pain, but it’s very thorough! I also shared that article, and the others involving Reuben Godfrey, in all my investor groups and on Facebook, Twitter, reddit, medium and linkedin. So that others may be warned and be on the lookout for these criminals! I realised that we investors get robbed, and will continue to be robbed, because we allow these criminals to get away with it, and continue to create other scam projects. As of this weekend I am no longer a spectator and helpless victim! I choose to take a stand and do something myself. I will expose and name and shame these criminals everywhere, and make sure that they won’t be able to pull of another scam under the same names and faces in crypto! I will encourage other victims to stand up and report to the authorities and hold these scammers accountable! And this goes for all scammers not just the Keplertek ones! We have had enough, and we will clear up the crypto space from within!
