Ventmode Ann https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5199984.0
Archive https://archive.md/zwmAr

Ventmode website   http://ventmode.io/
Archive https://archive.ph/sXFrV


This is  "Thompson Kin" , their team member and developer




As you can see, this guy is actually a model




Bodrul A, their operational manager




But that is actually picture of Virat Kohli, Indian cricket player.







On top of that, their CEO and COO were involved in another dubious project, Coinware that had plagiarized whitepaper.




Another connection, but this might be just a coincidence- Account name that made Coinware ann is akhat_omo, same first name as Ventmode CEO has. As i said, maybe it is just a coincidence, but i really don't believe in that in crypto.

Good spot. Ventmode is not a scam project, i will start with that. We have informed our dev team weeks ago to take those photos off and replace with our team members. Those two photos were quite unavaliable earlier during the development of our website. We would make adjustments as soon as possible. Thanks for your due diligence. Ventmode continues to connect communities with the right audience.

That was funny ... why on earth would u just place random pictures after people's names if they are not those people? You already burned your credibility with this reply though.

How about you DYOR on Denarius (D)

If you are not ready for an ICO, why did you rush to place your ANN here? No one will take your excuses seriously. Great find OP.
I believe that creating a flag would be appropriate.

We know that this is not your first project, so you should be well aware of the consequences of using someone else's pictures instead of your own and then asking from people to invest their hard earned money. In order for people to invest in you, they have to trust you, and how will they do that if you can't even do the basics?

Experience from Coinware should have thought you what  not to do , since 3 of your team members were involved with that, but it seems it didn't.

Yep, this is basic excuse for all of  them, they simply "forgot" to change the pictures. But why the hell put them there in the first place?

Thank you, flag supported!

I do not know why many continue to repeat the same lie?
If you're not ready, why did you look for fake pictures and put them as real photos? Did not even mention the real pictures or the fact that these pictures are fake?
It depends on trust and you started working your project lying so it is a scam project until prove the opposite.
The negative trust will remain to let everyone know about this error/scam.

It is not a scam project now but after getting the money it will be, if there is no pictures available you should fill that with fake pictures  Roll Eyes and you will not change that until someone catches your fake story.
I am sure you will repeat the process with a new domain and appear again with a new name.
Rot in hell.
By the way good catch OP.

I recommend that you use the service https://web.archive.org/ to create a site archive. He copes better with this task. And the http://archive.fo/ service is better suited for saving the archive of individual pages.

I always thought that scammers are smart than any other ordinary internet users. So I always try to make myself smarter than scammers.
Well, Ventmode proved me wrong, lol, they just used Virat's photo to show them and their project legit, crap. Virat is one of the popular sportsmen and at least a quarter of the world's population know him.

Nice find OP.
