List of fraudulent compaines and corporate failures

[Hoofprint]

I nominate Icedrill.


They are doing the Hasfast Scam almost down to the letter,
Miners now missing and holding Shares entitlements hostage.

[Hoofprint]

Will For Cryptomex.

Investors cant buy or sell their shares with out filling out a KYC form,
that could be used to scam in future.

notice how they want to know if you have mental illness

1. keeping shares hostage
2. no dividend payed (aside of one testing occasion) after 4 months
3, funds moving from mining address without any explanations
4. unreasonable kyc conditions (change in contract terms!)
5. complete waste of investors money on scammish looking cryptomex exchange with only one listed security

Now they are basically copying COG scam. Building momentum in investor's anger to the point of liquidation and suddenly a sock puppet will appear in a form of a "liquidation manager" who will give investor's back a few cents on a dollar and disappear. They might address the public once or twice in the meantime.

You would have a much shorter list compiling list of non fraudulent companies and corporate successes in bitcoin space

[andreasan]

ASICMINER and Satoshi Dice are probably the biggest success stories. What they seem to have in common is competence in their team and from early on were very pragmatic in the way they responded investors (with the exception of when MP did the talking for S.Dice). They never promised the world to anyone.

I think Rental Starter is proving to be a champion in the space. It's shaping up to be a prime example in proving that Bitcoin investors shouldn't necessarily have their options limited. I think in the near future quality start-ups from many fields will take advantage of Crypto funding and technologies that are associated with that - such as the decentralized exchanges. Assuming Bitcoin continues to do well. And more serious projects would more likely be interested in P2P stocks rather than un(self)regulated centralized ones (that have like a 50% fail rate?).

Can someone come up with the ball park number of how much money was put up in total by the community to fund projects?

[freedomno1]

There is a similar list and since I don't want to check each one too many securities to sort the Major Hacks from the rest
Will add the link for as a cross reference if someone wants to calculate the total Bitcoins lost

BASIC-MINING

After the btct.co shutdown, creativex promised to work on a solution but ran away with the funds instead, and he started living off them since then. AFAIK he hasn't used them up yet.

EDIT: found it already listed later on, my eyes must have skipped it at first

[freedomno1]

I'll throw in Binary fund

Amount unknown but there seems to be enough to show it was a scam

BFL
HashFast
MintSpare

Top three missed shipping dates on various products.

Top one hasn't done pre-orders but because its publicly traded missing the expected shipping date, of late December is bad for shareholders.

Bottom one is also publicly traded, and the owner thought paying himself all of the profits was a good idea.

[NotLambchop]

...Bottom one is also publicly traded, and the owner thought paying himself all of the profits the money he raised was a good idea.

Minor detail, but worth correcting.  Havelock claims to still have 100 BTC of the funds raised, BTW.

[Taras]

Dear Taras,

I hope you're well.

whats UNO ?

Kr,

Little P

Unobtanium - a cryptocoin
Mine's still stuck in coinex though

[Little P 1]

I hope you're all well.

Thank you so much for helping with the list. I will be presenting at an event in November and December.

Just to mention a few, there was the three related scamstocks on cryptostocks a while ago firemine, mineco, digimine (listings 96, 104 & 105), hard to say exactly how much btc that was involved there as there was some stocks dumped at low price but i guess there must have been stocks sold for at least 50 btc & i don't think the issuer &/or cryptostocks ever cleaned up that mess.
I think there was under 1 btc in dividend payed out in those stocks so the one that listed those run off with most of the rest.
