Someone told me to post again on this board. if anyone has any info or can help please let me know.
Especially to do with "Ismail Malik" and his web of ICOs he advises.

Hello,
I am writing on behalf of investors in a particular ICO that i know well. This ICO has failed to deliver a year on, with a barely functional platform and very poor communication from the team (just to give an example, the last medium post made by the team was more than 6 months ago). Not only is there a 24 hour volume of barely a few hundred dollars, the ROI has been over -90%.

Yet the ICO raised millions of dollars before launch. The adviser to the project owns his own company and website, and is fairly public, unlike a lot of the team who may possibly be fake. We also know the admins of the project are involved in illegal activity. The adviser is also suspicious because he advises more than 10 ICOs, a large number of which seem to be scams. So tracking these people could also help with other investigations.

What I request from the community is anyone willing to help us; for example if anyone has access to blockchain analysis software (it is an ERC-20 token if that helps) that could help us link some wallets we know belong to them. In this way we can find out how exactly the ICO millions were spent or at least where they went.

And if anyone wants to do some digging of their own, I will happily provide all the information I have so that we can jointly bring the scammers to justice, or at least provide solid proof of their businesses.
Let me know if you can help, or send a PM if you want to see which ICO this is and see if you can find out anything else.

Thanks so much,
J.Foster


EDIT: Full details:
BITTO ICO, raised 4.5 million.
The first thing that made me suspicious was "Marko Rajevic." Go here: https://icobench.com/ico/bitto-exchange and look for Marko under team.
Then look at this picture here: https://github.com/markorajevic?tab=overview&from=2019-04-01&to=2019-04-17        
Same name, different people.

Then, I talked to investors of Bitto, 99% were convinced it was a scam, if you look up bitto on coingecko you will see the shocking price drop. The idea behind the project was an exchange, a terrible idea, and if you see bittoexchange.com, you will see how badly developed this is.
The last medium post from the team was July 2018. The telegram admins are involved in dodgy things according to my sources.

The supposed CEO of the project is "Nic Shin", only available on linkedin and who knows if he is a real person.
The adviser, Ismail Malik, owns blockchainlab.com and here is his twitter. https://twitter.com/DisrupTiv
I sent him an email before via his company but it has been completely ignored. He advises over 10 ICOs, a number of which are scams: https://icobench.com/u/ismail-malik
He might be one of the key scammers behind this project.

Here are 3 addresses linked to token sale and hopefully which can be used to find out where some of the funds went.
0x7b0B0CeCD750f378A609a8FAa8E231854fe00CD3
0x992B4E3C40557FfdDD482f47f646fEE43cCdF038
0xa101E27f06A97985B925E244111b61560Ecd97DB
If anyone has access to blockchain analysis software this would be very helpful.

Let me know if you can help.

Good Day Jonathan,

We have from time to time showed evidence of progress of our project on t.me/bittoexchangenews .

Our group t.me/bittoexchange is still active. ALL our social media is still active unlike other ICO's that have failed and closed down all their social media platforms to avoid such negative comments from appearing.

We have nothing to hide. Kindly search on all our social media accounts listed here http://www.bittoexchange.com/. Please be patient as it is not a delay that we can control on our end. We aim to be a licensed exchange, although it is taking us a bit of time to get there, but we are certain it will be worth being a licensed entity within a handful of exchanges against thousands of unlicensed exchange that will slowly die out.

Also please do not post something you come up with such as 99% of investors convinced it is a scam. As part of the team we know most of the investors on a personal basis and are in communication via email, telegram or in person. So do not try to throw other peoples effort, time and money invested into this down the drain with such malicious intent. 


Do not post unnecessary negative comments that will hurt real investors with real assets and investments in BITTO project. We thank you for your patience & support.
