AQUEST and Enkronos - SCAM. Proof of.

[atatoliygrom]

According to project managers, the AQUEST project is part of the Enkronos platform. The aQuest project is a unique, decentralized application that pays you for a specific task. The ICO of the AQUEST project was successful (raised more than $ 3.2 million), and was completed on April 09, 2019.

The idea is not bad, but this project turned out to be SCAM!

Evidence that the AQUEST project is SCAM ...
After listing on the IDEX exchange, the AQUEST project continued the unofficial sale of its tokens (AQU) on this exchange. To sell tokens, the project uses several intermediary ETH addresses:
1. 0x7cdc6e3b8534e5da2b78faa21734ac9a47a3d403 - using this ETH address, the AQUEST project made AQU deposits on IDEX exchange for a total of 2.8 million AQU tokens, which is about 15% of all AQU tokens in circulation. The history of this ETH address for AQU tokens can be studied:
https://etherscan.io/token/0x7756edf05ef3c2b321a85d77b5cbf7c8a9a7c247?a=0x7cdc6e3b8534e5da2b78faa21734ac9a47a3d403
2. 0xff726fbb1c13462515f7d72f40d5fc31f21632bf - using this ETH address, the project laundered an additional 1.79 million AQU tokens for sale on the IDEX exchange, which in total amounts to more than 9% of all AQU tokens in circulation. The history of this ETH address for AQU tokens can be studied:
https://etherscan.io/token/0x7756edf05ef3c2b321a85d77b5cbf7c8a9a7c247?a=0xff726fbb1c13462515f7d72f40d5fc31f21632bf
Thus, using these two ETH addresses alone, the AQUEST project unofficially sold 4.59 million AQU tokens on an IDEX exchange. Which is more than 24% of all AQU tokens that are in circulation.
Perhaps there are other ETH addresses that the AQUEST project uses for personal enrichment.
All transaction data with subsequent illegal sales carried out by the project can be traced:
https://etherscan.io/token/0x7756edf05ef3c2b321a85d77b5cbf7c8a9a7c247?a=0x5fdb7762ab891fd1a9ee6e69189b8cf5c7b447e0
https://etherscan.io/token/0x7756edf05ef3c2b321a85d77b5cbf7c8a9a7c247?a=0x2a0c0dbecc7e4d658f48e01e3fa353f44050c208

But that is not all…
In addition to the fact that the project illegally sells its AQU tokens, trading on the IDEX exchange is almost impossible due to the trading bot that controls all transactions and the price of the token. Due to the work of the trading bot and the large illegal sale of AQU tokens, the price of the token is now around 0.00001-0.000007 ETH ((https://idex.market/eth/aqu). At the same time, the price for the ICO was equal to 0.006 ETH.
Work on the promised platform may not be underway, since their https://github.com/enkronos/ is empty, but the launch of the platform was promised for September 2019.
All members of the official Telegram group https://t.me/aQuest_io who express even the slightest dissatisfaction are excluded from this group. And, at present, the activity of the participants in this group is zero (except for administrators), despite the fact that there are 3184 participants in this group of Telegrams.

The situation is similar with the Enkronos project. This project uses the same methods of illicit enrichment. They also illegally sell ENK tokens on IDEX exchanges and use intermediary wallets for this (for example, 0x7cdc6e3b8534e5da2b78faa21734ac9a47a3d403, 0x7a91c41a40b634fa5e94b73329e528dbd88ca7c9757fbc115fbcfcfcffcfc The Enkronos project also killed its token. The Enkronos project has the same admins in the official Telegram group https://t.me/enkronos, which instantly block users for dissatisfaction or uncomfortable questions.

Be careful !!! Do not believe the fraudsters of the AQUEST and Enkronos projects who are trying to deceive you !!!

but I think investors today are wiser and don't invest their money in shady ICO projects. related to this I appreciate the efforts of the OP to have identified that the AQUEST project was a SCAM.

I participated in Aquest bounty last year, till now I have not received my reward.  A quest is a very big scam. From last year, we have witnessed the emergence of many fake projects that have wasted the resources of both investors and hunters.  We just have to be careful of these scam projects outside there.

Enkronos if Im not mistaken is a projext promoted from bountyhive right? I knew there is something fishy about this project from the beggining. Never heard the AQUEST but enk is relly messed up. They dont have support or dev that will answer on your query but hencr more focus on token sale inquiries rather than discussing what they can offer the public. Good thing I did not participated and wasted my time with them.

This is unbelievable. First thank you for the insight. I always have likened this project Aquest because I see it a fiverr platform kind of. How it came to  end like this is sad. They had a good concept.
