Ascendancy IPO Turned Into a Scam - Investigation in progress

[Triload]

Any update on the Ascendancy developer, this is too early to  happen in 2017, I think people should start to ask right questions from this developers, I was skeptic about this project initially but when I saw that Lupin is the one managing their signature campaign I chose to ignore the project. I hope investors get their BTC back

Me too, luptin was unlucky manager his altcoin campaigns were all scams? Opair, Ebitz, Asc, all are scams, another manager is jamal, he is fooled by scammers too. Ignore these special 2 managers if they run altcoin signature campaigns.

first post not loading for me correctly for some reason, just curious how much did these scum bags end up stealing?

So is it confirmed that the people named are the real scammers?

Because if they are, then it might be worth looking whether they might have been involved in some of the other scams that occured on here.....namely EBITZ and Declouds....

the vids thumbnail looks pretty dodgy, I wouldn't mind making that thumbnail for the video, I want to see these fuckers in jail.

   I'm sorry but we are not a detective agency and not the police! ICOTRACKER.NET Our team makes an assessment of ICO before the start so we filter SCAM us! Not all yet but at least to some of them!

Yeah dude I never blamed you. I just said I would like to make the videos thumbnail. Pretty sure you mis-understood.

The Scammers are good. They always manage to get someone with Authority to Join their Project team, Then they Get Support from the community due to the fact that The Community believes and trust Authority members involved. It was a clean sweep if You ask me. Like You said, Luptin is just unlucky . Everyone had thought Ascendancy was legit.

if the funds are sent to an address that the developer controls and then the developer send those funds to the escrow, then it is pointless to have escrows involved......

am just surprised that people were not aware of this....

stop lying not everyone would fall for this cheap trick.

[StarofBTC]

Let me get this clear.

Was it clear from the beginning that investors will send the BTC to the scamteam first and the scamteam said "we will forward the invested BTC every 8 hours to our escrowers"?
Are you kidding me? Then why do you fucking have escrowers? LOL... how stupid can someone be, to join this scam as an escrower, if this was the deal? The job #1 of an escrower is to get the money directly from the investors. If you don't follow this rule #1 as an escrower, then your are guilty in my eyes.

I would normally agree with you 100% but the escrow agreement was right there in front of everyones eyes to read. Everything was written in black and white. Its not as if the escrows tried to dupe anyone here. Everything looked to be running smooth. Btc was going to the escrow address like it should and then all the sudden a big rush came in. The Ascendancyteam decided to scam.

Another scam ICO in crypto. So sorry to all thise that invested their BTC on this one. Not all ANNs with nice, shiny pictures and worded texts can be really trusted these days.

Escrows, did you at least verify the identities of the scammers before you agreed to escrow for them?

I don't think that escrow really did this. nor I think doing this would really a duty of escrows. in first days the project was all looks legit. even they transferred the invested funds into escrow constantly before. they just scammed in the last 8 hours..

and if they were identified than they were be Identified for the investors also. not only for escrows.

[Golova4lena]

Sad, another scam ico... Very well that I did not participate in it. Good luck to all the participants in the returning of their funds!

[Grdas130979]

Everyone should try and learn from mistakes, but also there should be a way to track and expose the people behind scam, so they can never do it again. We shouldnt just say, ok its normal, because it shouldnt be.

[MostlyGhostly]

The scammer left a taunting picture clue.  He's a sneaky bastard, hope you get him.

These people may be arrested quickly
if he is not responsible for his actions

They may be detained but theres no guarantee that is gonna happen today, tomorrow or next week. Though I can say that if I were him I would immediately grab F class visa and run away to mongolia like big vern did. Right, he slipped away to china but who cares whether its china or any other asian country.

I doubt that you guys think he is really "unlucky"? I thought it is scam, luptin was so naive therefore he was scammed. Those escrows and managers are very earger to make money, that is the reason why they always been scammed too.

What are you gonna tweet for them now? Their twitter has been deleted. All the promotions from the team are not gonna be paid. IF youre not an investor or were not a part of this whole damn mess theres no reason for you to post here really

That he was last active Today with last post 7th of April

[DISPERADO]

From the start, the team was asked direct questions, but there was no answer, or they were ignoring. The only asnwer was - check all the information on the official website. It is strange that people constantly fall into the same trap.

Sadly a lot of the investors don't spend a lot of time digging thru all the details of the "projects" and of the identities of the scammers. And a lot just look at the people associated with it like escrows, campaign managers, and other more experienced, "trustworthy" members in here.

Look lutpin is campaigning / promoting this new coin being escrowed by yahoo, minerjones with fancy webpage & nice pictures. Then it might be good. Lol

WTF!  God saved me from this..

Thanks, Andrew kicked me out of the team as a designer earlier, and preferred to be in that alien stuff which took them so long to prepare..lol.. And thanks God I quitted from the offer of Sparkit and they kicked me out from slack while they insulted my designs, it must be a total waste of time, cant imagine it.


This must be a good lesson from all investors.

I want to add that I liked your designs. I tried to get you back but you didn't accept and I was sad at the time. Now I'm glad you didn't have to get involved in this mess.
