*If you do not want believe - please try it with trust me! Later you will maybe come and say thank you.*Hi,
first im not involved or invested in Polybius or Emercoin in any way, i just find that thread a few days ago and i found some really open and easy to see aspects that this is a new Scam-Giant from the devs of the proofen scam
Hashcoins.
I have nothing from degrade a kindly fair company - nothing. So think about why i should say all this, if it isn't the truth in my opinion and others.
This is so extremly obv. that i was shocked after i see how many people do believe in this and put much money into it.
Also i see many fake accounts pushing that and try to give it a real feeling.
Here is everything i found so far.
So i want to use this thread for warning, discussion and proofs about the Polybius & Emercoin scam.
I just copy some qoutes and pls read this and check it for yourself.
I hope you're all aware that the Hashcoins crew are behind this ICO.
The same Hashcoins who stole 1000's off of forum members by selling mining hardware that doesn't exist.

Then they abandoned their thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=417623.msg19333790#msg19333790The same Hashcoins are doing numerous ICO's on this forum.

Just a friendly FYI. Good luck.

Yup - shill accounts from the Hashcoins/Hashflare/Polybius/Emercoin/Chronobank "Team".
A quote from the Emercoin thread FYI:
No I am not a spokesman for Oleg, I'm a spokesman for logic and reason.
Right. So you think that it's logical & reasonable to advertise, promote, endorse, defend & link to a proven scam company like hashcoins on your website & your thread then. Got it.
You have no proof to back your accusation of Polybius being a scam, otherwise you'd have presented it.
The proof is on their website, it presents itself.
https://polybius.io/#teamThat polybius "Team" are the same hashcoins "Team" who scammed customers for 1000's selling vapourware. Guess who's also on that list - good old Oleg Khovayko Blockchain CTO, Emercoin. He crops up quite a lot actually, along with a few other recognisable Hashcoins/Hashflare/Chronobank/Emercoin/Polybius profiles. Of course, Emercoin & Polybius are also advertised by these Hashcoins scammers, & it's no surprise that Polybius advertise Emercoin & Hashcoins also - is that some back scratching or because it's the same people I wonder....
Let's break it down & make it easier for you, open the following web pages in different tabs:
https://www.hashcoins.com/managementhttps://hashflare.io/team/https://polybius.io/#teamhttps://emercoin.com/teamApart from the obvious similarities in the website layouts, the same profiles crop up over & over again on each site,
proving that the same people are behind them. This is not "FUD" as you call it - it is fact & it is displayed on the websites for all to see.
Oh, and who's involved with all of them? You guessed it - Emercoin dev Oleg Khovayko. Don't even think about denying it - it's there for all to see.

That's not an answer - just numbers.
Wait - WHAT!?
So those lying, cheating, thieving scumbags Hashcoins have reared their scammy heads again & are pushing another scam under a different name eh? WTF!!!!
Those motherf*ckers disappeared years ago with everyone's money - now they're back pushing another scam thinking everyone's forgotten about it? NOT A CHANCE!
Look at all the noob shill accounts they're using to avoid using their real Hashcoins account, not to mention the BS numbers they keep posting - unf*ckingbelievable - what a joke those c*nts are.
ANYONE & EVERYONE - DO NOT GIVE HASHCOINS/POLYBIUS A SINGLE CENT, YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN. GET YOUR MONEY BACK NOW BEFORE THEY RUN OFF WITH IT AGAIN.
I can assure you this is another Hashcoins scam - GET OUT NOW!!!
Frankly, I do not see the point of your warnings here. The necessary amount has already been collected - and you can not do anything and have no influence whatsoever ...
What? Every single second this is running forward more people lose more money. Thats extremly annoying that u easy can see whats going on, but you dont want to see.
An other point:
I will open a thread for this.
And here also the answer from my mailing with Ernest and Young:
(It's german)
"
vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage. Wie Sie schon zurecht in Erwägung gezogen haben, stimmt die von Ihnen beigefügte Nachricht nicht. EY (Ernst & Young) stand und steht mit Polybius Cryptobank in keinerlei Geschäftsverhältnis. EY hat Polybius bereits aufgefordert, anderslautende Informationen von der Website des Unternehmens zu entfernen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Dag-Stefan Rittmeister"
Just translating the German text to English:
"Thank you for your request. As you already thought the message you attached is wrong. EY (Ernst & Young) does not and has never had a business relation with Polybius Cryptobank. EY already requested Polybius zo remove different informations from their website.
Best regards
Dag-Stefan Rittmeister"
I found a very interesting recording of a telephone interview with Daniel Haudenschild, who is described as a Partner to Ernst & Young on their website (
https://webforms.ey.com/ch/en/industries/financial-services/ey-contact-implementing-new-regulatory-requirements), on Soundcloud dated 6th June 2017, just after this Hashcoins/Polybius ICO scam started. The interviwee is a long time Bitcoin adopter & is very knowledgable in the field - this comes across very clearly in the interview with the questions he asks, which Daniel Haudenschild fails on all fronts to give an answer to. Have a listen (ignore the first 30 seconds of silly music!):
https://soundcloud.com/junsethsworld/daniel-haudenschild-of-ernst-young-discusses-polybius-ico-6617-1151There are several points of interest in the interview, here are a few that are relevent to this scam accusation:
1) 04.35 - Hashcoins confirmed as the people behind Polybius.
2) 06.30 - They don't hold a banking license.
3) 07.40 - Daniel Haudenschild admits that even he doesn't know who owns Polybius, which is not only strange coming from an "advisor" who works for Ernst & Young, but is also not disclosed in the white paper.
4) 09.10 - Ernst & Young did NOT endorse Polybius in any way & actions are underway to remove any Ernst & Young connection with Polybius. (*more on this below)
5) 09.30 - Hashcoins are a cludmining brand who sold miners that didn't exist.
6) 09.50 - Emercoin confirmed as partners & are described as a "non-sense project"
(confirming the connection between Polybius, Hashcoins & Emercoin - which Emercoin have tried to deny on multiple occasions, despite me proving to them otherwise)
After the above & for the rest of the interview, Daniel Haudenschild seems unable to properly answer a single question, is often confused into silence & comes across as being pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. He must feel pretty stupid allowing not just himself, but the whole Ernst & Young brand name to be dragged into this whole scammy affair & I wouldn't be at all surprised if he loses his job at Ernst & Young for doing so.....
Wait, what's this?.......**MASSIVE UPDATE**
Daniel Haudenschild lost his job at Ernst & Young......
FT published a transcript of the above interview:
https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2017/06/07/2189826/building-blockchain-banks-with-icos/ (regtoread)
Updated at the bottom with:
Update (June 8th, 18:43 London time): EY have got in touch to say that “At publication of this story, Daniel Haudenschild is no longer with EY and his comments concerning EY’s Blockchain strategy are incorrect.”
*Ernst & Young have since instructed Polybius to remove all reference of Ernst & Young from the Polybius website & advertising. Polybius removed the Ernst & Young profiles from their website but continue to use it for advertising on various forums, websites & so called "news" outlets on the web:
https://www.cryptoninjas.net/2017/05/15/swiss-ey-officially-joins-polybius-cryptobank-advisors-ico-follow/https://www.cryptoninjas.net/2017/04/25/blockchain-startup-polybius-bank-setup-switzerland-ernst-young-agrees-advise/If Ernst & Young are prepared to fire anyone who associates their brand with Polybius, I'm pretty sure they will also go after Hashcoins/Polybius too. I hope they do, it will save many people getting ripped of by Hashcoins again, but you can do your bit too by contacting Ernst & Young using the below link (Fraud Investigation):
https://webforms.ey.com/uk/en/services/assurance/fraud-investigation---dispute-servicesLet's be honest here, if Polybius are prepared to lie about their association with Ernst & Young then brag about it on the web - what else are they lying about? Add to this the fact that Hashcoins (older crypto users will know about them) are behind all of this & you've got a scam the size of Mt Etna waiting to explode.
Another point to mention here is the OP of the Polybius thread, nixoid, aka: Andrey Zamovskiy, founder of Ambisafe. nixoid has posted many ICO posts lately & I've read reports on most of them being a similar type scam as Polybius. I'm not sure if Ambisafe are connected to Hashcoins/Polybius - but the fact that Ambisafe are promoting them here & on their website is cause enough for concern:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1848751.msg19734730#msg19734730All these scam ICO's are the scurge of crypto. For every legit one, there are 100 scam ones. The sooner we cleanse crypto of them, the better crypto will be for it.
I'm sure I'll get more BS neg-reps from the multitude of Polybius shill accounts (they love posting about it on their thread:)), but I really don't care tbh. I believe that if I can stop one person getting scammed then it's worth it - & the intelligent forum users here will see straight through the false trust anyway.
OK. Bash away
EmerCoin is from the same organisation.
Sure we can find more, but for me the fact that the same people from Hashcoin team are part of the Polybius team makes me scary enought that i wouldn't recommend to put money into Polybius & EmerCoin!
Here a list of users i believe that are involved or fake accounts to publish and move forward this scam organisation:
-
FreakSeaker Makes a few posts about saying anything about Eth and Waves defs and just say Emercoin is great - makes no sense
-
mzn brand new poster in polybius thread like a old known boy - just created to push the buisness and keep everything cool
-
b080180d 62/62 posts about polybius and in polybius thread - repeat every post that say scam and try to push it away
What did you think?
