Splitting tokens project eristic:

30.01.2018 on the Eristica website McAfee was declared as an adviser.
https://imgur.com/B60RjODThe current balance of Eristica purse after the described outgoing transactions is 1761 ETH
Outgoing transactions were made on: 728.7 and 149.25 ETH.
The total turnover of the wallet is 2,639 ETH.
Assuming that the actual attraction of funds to the project began only after the post of McAfee , who wrote about the project on Twitter more than 12 times a week , we can conclude that the transactions amounting to 728.7 ETH were a reward for advertising by McAfee. Finally, only McAfee, himself, received a minimum of 28% of all funds raised by the project. Tranche at 149.25 ETH could be made in favor of the person who organized the advertisement made by McAfee. This is another 5.75% of the fundraising.
McAfee took the project, which had a week before the completion of ICO and had no success in raising funds. Accordingly, McAfee understood that he was recommending an empty project. In the process of advertising, he collected 28% of the money drawn into the project by investors.
And if in the “coin of week” people understood that it’s a skam, but everyone expected to be the first and to rise some money, then at the “ICO of week” people just give their money to McAfee. He found some project, which could not collect any money for 3 months. Wrote about is on Twitter. And took a big part of investors money immediately. I think it is a good reason to write about this to SEC.
