1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: CENTRA CTR SCAM - Founders Arrested on: August 22, 2022, 07:28:10 PM
I was also hit by a scam from Centra, at that time I invest around $ 3500, the thing that made me very optimistic about Centra was that they made Floyd Myweather Jr. As an ambasador brand, Centra is increasingly popular because Floyd Myweather competes with Conor MC. Gregor which makes me more optimistic, unfortunately it is proven that Centra is a scam

I still hold 50k CTR and failed to sell them.  I have high hope for this one before it was labeled a scam and the founders were found guilty and put behind bars.  Floyd Mayweather Jr. played a huge part in why I trusted this project because he appears on social media promoting and holding a CTR card.  
that's so sad dude you lose your assets , and personally i will also be my lesson to care about public figure endorse in crypto project. as i know almost all crypto project that endorse public fgure end at scam . this is be special note for us ofcourse , dont trapped in popular opinion from figure, maybe our own analissys better.

It was a hot project at that time.  And the eligibility of the project were never questioned until the SEC comes in and questioned the integrity of their offered visa card.  Then from that point, the whole fraud is exposed and the founders were arrested, Mayweather was fined for promoting the fake Visa of CTR.  I was busy with other altcoins at that time and failed to update myself about the CTR case. Well, I agree, that is a lesson to be learned.

I'm producing a podcast series about Centra Tech. I'm curious to hear more about what happened to you, if you're willing to chat with me. If you can, pls dm me (I'm a "newbie" and can't message you directly).

Just to update this thread with some more news on the arrest and detention of the three main scammers:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-crypto-currencies-centratech-indictme/u-s-says-centra-tech-co-founders-indicted-for-cryptocurrency-fraud-idUSKCN1IF32O

Quote
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors on Monday announced the indictment of three co-founders of a cryptocurrency start-up once promoted by the boxer Floyd Mayweather, accusing them of fraudulently raising more than $25 million from investors in an initial coin offering.

Sohrab “Sam” Sharma, Robert Farkas and Raymond Trapani, who co-founded Centra Tech Inc, were each charged with securities fraud, wire fraud and two conspiracy counts, according to an indictment filed with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Prosecutors said the defendants, who live in Florida, misled investors in Centra tokens that they had formed partnerships with Visa Inc (V.N), MasterCard Inc (MA.N) and Delaware-based The Bancorp Inc (TBBK.O) to issue debit cards, lied about having money transmitter licenses and created a fictitious chief executive officer.

Lawyers for the three defendants could not be immediately reached for comment.

The three men were arrested last month and the FBI seized 91,000 “Ether units” consisting of digital funds currently worth $60 million, according to a release announcing the indictment.

Authorities around the world have attempted to rein in the global boom in trading cryptocurrencies - a form of digital money created and maintained by its users.

“As alleged, the defendants conspired to capitalize on investor interest in the burgeoning cryptocurrency market,”

Deputy U.S. Attorney Robert Khuzami said in the release. “Whether traditional or cutting-edge, investment vehicles can’t legally be peddled with falsehoods and lies.”


Would love to talk with you about Centra Tech for a podcast series I'm producing on the company. I DM'd you.

Finally, vindication has come for members of this community who stuck by their guns and called out CTR for what it was; a scam.

Also, never trust celebrity endorsement: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-53

CTR tokens are now in freefall: http://www.coinfox.info/news/9186-centra-founders-arrested-in-us-token-dips-by-60



This is a sad thing because it made me lose around 0.8 btc or more than $ 12k, i think CTR is a good and promising project so i participated in ICO.

I'm researching Centra Tech for an upcoming podcast series. I'd like to talk with you about what happened (but can't DM you since I'm a "newbie").

it turns out there is still a discussion about Centra, a crypto that was originally very sweet then vanished instantly and was very painful. I lost more than 80k dollars

I'm researching Centra Tech for a podcast series -- would like to talk with you about your experience, but cannot DM you since I'm a "newbie".

I was just banned from Telegram for criticizing the founders for using fake profiles on the website. Breaking news: Centra Tech is banning people who tell others the truth on their Telegram.

Would love to talk with you about this. I'm researching Centra Tech for an upcoming investigative series.
