What happened:: Heat Ledger is a scam, they have lied several times about pretty much everything, the product they released is totally broken.
They postponed the releasedate many times. They only released a totally broken coin because they had a contract with ccex and alcurex that had a deadline. They released it so they would get more money. They released complete garbage. They kept none of the promises stated in the ICO.
They call each other "geniuses"! Literally!
Their whitepapaer is pure marketing garbage.
They said they would make a buy wall when the coins start but they didn't. They lied so many times I can not recall all of them. There are just too many.
Their own asset exchange list many coins which you will never be able to withdraw.
The heatledger owners are not paying out btc on their exchange.
The wallet is closed source.
They keep funds (HEAT coins) that belong to the investors.
They made several contradicting statements and are in the end choosing the ones that fits their purpose best.
For example it was not mentioned in the ICO that they reserve themselves a million heat coins, but they mentioned it somewhere else and say now that they mentioned it.
They pretend to be completely incompetent, but they do that in order to pretend that this is not a scam. But in reality it is a scam. They raised around 600-800k USD and opened their company (Heat Ledger LTD, a finish company) and are paying themselves now huge wages until the company is out of money. They provide no expense sheets or whatsoever. Any documents you would think a company would make public they do not do that. They said they would provide an expense sheet but that was about half a year ago and nothing happend. The coin does not work at all and they are not hiring anybody to develope it further. They have one developer (Dennis de Klerk). He is totally incompetent and doesn't do anything. They don't release the source code because it would show that they have no clue what they are doing. Instead they hired a cryptoblogger so they say. They do that in order to lure new investors in their next IPO funding round by doing some marketing. STAY AWAY FROM IT! These two are professional scammers! You will lose your money!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1543991.msg1679730Amount Scammed: Me personally it is now 0.17BTC which they are not paying me out.
In total they scammed about 600k USD from all the investors in their ICO.
Payment Method: BTC, ETH....
Proof of Payment: It is in the ICO and on their blockchain. I would need to search for the addresses of the ICO for bitcoin, eth and others but they are publicly known.
PM/Chat Logs: Here is where he says he will not make the payout:
Hi Stewpot. Oh did you? It will take us a few days to dig it out for you. For technical reasons it might actually take a couple of weeks. Your account has some special issues connected. If you will, you may not rest assured it will be processed.
Cheers!
Listen you son of a bitch where is my btc? I withdrew about 0.17 btc a day ago or something. Where is it?
Here he suddenly says now that I didn't withdraw the btc, this is a lie, I did withdraw it. He posts some picture of the exchange as "proof". If their shity coin just ate my btc or if he is lying and manipulated anything, I can not say but as nothing is opensource and nobody can really look into any of this, both is possible as he was caught lying multiple times and it is known that really nothing works with their coin.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1543991.msg18190645#msg18190645Excuse my language in these posts but I am furious this guy scammed me.
There are many more lies on the bct thread but these mentioned are about my personal money.
Additional Notes: They are the devs of the FIMK coin which was a total failure. They pretend to be incompetent but they are just scammers. They didn'T even know how much money they raised. They also lied about the costs of how much it did cost them to open their company. They are lie on every occasion.
Here is a picture of the 2:
