Guys, look at this.. This is from former TokenDesk media/PR advisor:

I was deceived. I cannot (and do not want to) remain silent.
Some of you know that I was working with Token Desk and their ICO project. The co-founders of this business are Mr. Gintaras Tamosiunas (the former MP from the populist Labour Party of Lithuania) and Mr. Arunas Miknius (one of the founders/shareholders of bilietai.lt).
In late August 2017, Mr. Tamosiunas approached me regarding the help with international PR. I was offered a fixed sum of money and an additional bonus in case of success. The length of our contract was two months and the fixed sum was not particularly large and worth my time and effort, considering the fact that I was based in London and had an assistant there. We negotiated for the bonus (which is usually the most important financial part for consultants in ICOs) for a while. Finally, we agreed on the sum which was four times smaller than I required at first. Obviously, the list of tasks I had to accomplish was shortened.
We regularly discussed all things related to the project online and offline. Therefore, in order to avoid extra difficulties, I prepared an essential contract of mutual cooperation, where I clearly presented my realistic obligations for every month. This contract was sent to the team of Token Desk on the 5 September 2017. Also, I have all e-mails as a proof what I was committed to do during the first month.
And there, first troubles began. Apparently, the company had not been registered yet and my clients could not sign the contract until the registration would be completed. As I understand now, no one intended to officially list the company. The staff of Token Desk were explaining that they cannot decide where to locate their business – the UK or Lithuania. In reality, it takes only 1 day to register a firm in the UK. Anyway, I started working without any contract signed. I admit that it was a naïve move, but I thought that I could trust people I worked with. Unfortunately, I was completely wrong.
Before I sent the contract, I informed Token Desk that I would be quite busy during the following month, since I had two conferences, planned in advance earlier, and courses. Also, some unexpected issues appeared.
However, by 21 September 2017 I had completed 95% of my tasks. In addition, I contributed to extra work which was not even included in the contract.
Three days later I caught a virus. I had high fever and completely lost my voice, but Token Desk tried to force me to participate in a conference despite my health. Of course, I could not arrive.
Although nearly all tasks were realized, Mr. Tamosiunas decided to end the contract. What was the reason? Token Desk expected ‘something more’ from me. Maybe even more than written in the contract. I guess it was an attitude of homo sovieticus businessmen: to profit from a person for the smallest price. As I had already noticed that these clients are particularly complicated, I agreed to stop working and asked for a payment. I clearly presented the timeframe of every completed task in our contract together with additional work. Moreover, I added the prices of some databases I provided Token Desk with. The overall sum was almost the same as the fixed sum we discussed before.
The reaction? I got a rude e-mail, where all my job was considered as absolutely terrible and I was offered only one fifth of the sum. By the way, I did not receive any negative feedback from the team of Token Desk whilst I was completing tasks.
What is more, if everything I did was that terrible, why a part of Whitepaper, videos and texts on their website, created by me, are still displayed?
I politely asked Token Desk to remove my intellectual property from Internet if they do not want to pay me an adequate sum. Besides that, I declared that I would go public if I did not receive the money.
All in all, no one paid me or even answered to my last e-mail where I even reduced the sum by a third. I know there are two more people who were deluded by this company.
It is sad that there are dishonest people. On the other hand, what can be expected, when some people from team have criminal offences?
