Ascendancy IPO Turned Into a Scam - Investigation in progress

[whynotbit]

Same for me, I actually do not know the processes of Slack but since I am in no team other than this one I have no access.
The site is also down.
Some coincidences are actually not fate...

[CryptoMrM]

Slack deleted.

Website down.

I thought this might happen. I did raise it with the 'main dev' a few hours before the end. Especially when I saw the 8 hour escrow movement detailed in the escrow arrangement wasn't happening.

Glad I missed this one.

Sorry to anyone who got scammed as it appears to be the case.

It seems that the same situation with twitter. Page not found

[PolyPanto]

Well, this is it... They run away, twitter was deleted, website is off, slack is dead) All is dead, so much time lost on twitter campaign, poor investors... one more scam..

[whynotbit]

One more scam, we're gonna celebrate.... 
Too fool to be true, all responsible.

[HomoHenning]

wow they didnt even wait for the final ico end...

[SparkIt]

I'm on telegram with Lauda yahoo and minerjones, we're trying to figure this out

[whynotbit]

The supposed last investments did go high very fast, just like trading, better close a deal when it gives profits (70 btc if site information was true) rather than having the sum go to escrow (who are just humans and can be fooled just like us) and not be able to run away with it. Actually fake escrow since the transaction did go through another adress before being handed to the escrow agents (not doubting the escrow's honesty though, just their definition of being an escrow)
For me now, only Ico's held by third know site, with no delay whatsoever and real infos from team. Good lesson !
@SparkIt figure it all you want, it's a scam, sad thing I invested too late for sum to go to escrow adress.
Happy for the guys who will get their btc's back. I will trade a day or two to win back my loss.
Happy trading to everybody !

[specturul]

I can not believe that I got around this shit party. I understand that people who are team this shit is fake

[whynotbit]

It sure seems to be and has all the flags raised ! (says someone who did invest)

[SparkIt]

WTF?!

Ascendancy is a Scam Project?

Sure seems like it.
We'll update you guys as soon as we have something.

[whynotbit]

The two founders are fraud, the escrows, we will see but I think they also got fooled.
After two years leaving crypto, I came back because I did make nice profits on the right companies.
Look at Ether, Nxt, Dash(Dark), Bitcoin, Ripple, and the way they built their project, and look this one, totally different !
Even Nem being serious is for me a kinda scam (for me as long as you invest, you can sleep for years and get your asset as long as the company, product is still living, they just did it in a manner not suited for this activity and actually do not believe they will last)

Sparkit looked like just a hired hand having been working for other less reputable projects (Zdash, no offence)

15% random bonus for Chinese NY and lack of sustained graphic work for it

No real identities

No trace of the names or links to university's mentioned when I searched

No previous companies mentioned

Lack of a whitepaper

Escrow was supposed to be automated every 8 hours but nothing was sent. Excuse didn't line up. The escrow assurances were basically rendered moot. As I said in my screenshot above "only as strong as the weakest link"

People need to wise up. You shouldn't be messing around with this stuff if you don't know what you're doing.

[whynotbit]

I can only agree. And I can just remember why I left this world.
I probably needed a reminder.
Worst is I had it figured out before, now I will definitly listen to my guts (except with diarrhea )
PS : Only invest what you can afford loosing... that is what I did. Not worst than gambling

[SEOcrypto]

LOL

this is a good reminder

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER  (aka - don't judge a BCT ANN thread by it's artwork)

As mentioned before this one had a lot of flags but I can see why people got swindled.

the better the thread, the more money to be made scammed.

[Tasty Potato]

Baskin robbins!

So they took what they got within 8 hours before auto trans to escrows...

This money is gone, I get it, but what about before that

Can I get my escrowed investment back somehow??

Sure, ask the escrows for your money back. If they get fooled or didnt make a proper work is not the investors fault.
