48 hours ago, Scharmbeck put up on their website the following announcement:
All USD transactions to/from Scharmbeck have been disabled pending review of government laws and regulations.https://i.imgur.com/v6CM5cr.pngThis is a huge announcement that basically says
www.scharmbeck.com cease all operations of the service on the website.
A little bit later (About 15 minutes?) that announcement disappeared from the website.
48 hours since, no official statement have come from Scharmbeck website or Twitter regarding the matter. In addition, shareholders (SBFS on
www.cryptostocks.com) that saw that message contemplated Scharmbeck is shutting down and sold their shares below their value.
Now it is too easy to start a scam accusation here , since its too easy, as huge profits were made in a matter of minutes on this stunt as SBFS stock rose right back up to original value right after the announcement disappeared. Well if it is a scam, grats Scharmbeck.
If its not, mistakes happen, this is fine, everyone is doing mistakes, but the lack of any communication from Scharmbeck ever since (48 hours and counting) following that incident is very troubling. If Scharmbeck is legit or trying to be, this is certainly not the way.
In numbers, it mean you crowd-funded this project for half a million dollars (yes, 500,000$) and treat your customers and shareholders like they do not exist. To put it simple, you are working off their money to make this project happen.
Should everyone force an announcement out of Scharmbeck regarding this incident? An apology message if this was a mistake? If it is, compensation for SBFS holders who undersold their shares due to this error?
If Scharmbeck is shutting down, well.... . If its not, Scharmbeck just took a big credibility hit and its time they try to win some of it back (if they care).
Cheers.
