SEC Halts Fraudulent Scheme Involving Unregistered ICO is the unambiguous noscript of an SEC press release issued 2 April 2018. “The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged two co-founders of a purported financial services start-up with orchestrating a fraudulent initial coin offering (ICO) that raised more than $32 million from thousands of investors last year. Criminal authorities separately charged and arrested both defendants,” the notice begins. https://chaining.ru/2018/04/03/floyd-mayweather-backed-ico-co-founders-arrested-for-fraud/

ICObench x Sum&Substance: KYC for ICO teams and experts.
It has been a week since we started to implement the KYC procedure for the ICO team members. The first reactions of the community were…
KuСoin. Crouching Token, Hidden Team
Thanks to Revain’s pumps, we turned our attention to the KuCoin exchange, did some research and found so many fuck-ups that our eyes started to bleed. These guys constantly run tacky online-casino-style competitions, accepted 5 bitcoins for a listing that they didn’t go through with and tried to hide their team as if no one had ever taken a screenshot of it. Grab some popcorn and take a seat! https://shitcoinoffering.com/kuсoin-crouching-token-hidden-team

ETH price and ICO volume is very reflexive. As more was invested into ICOs, ICO returns increased driving demand for more ETH, locking more up in dApp wallets and increasing price more. As price and ICO volume fall, however, that feedback loop can be as strong…

BTC Price Alert: In spite of positive news about institutional investors coming in BTC, the price is moving down. The team is working to find the reasons.
1. One of them is someone dumped 20K BTC causing the dip.
2. US imposes sanctions against Russian oligarchs and government officials. This includes 200 top russian officials.
As of now the prices are expected to dip further to levels of $6560.

Russian Gov’t Will Block Crypto Industry Favorite Telegram ‘In Near Future’
Russian authorities have chosen to block crypto’s go-to messenger app Telegram, but local media report multiple easy methods exist to bypass it.

The power that local governments have over IT corporations is based on money. At any given moment, a government can crash their stocks by threatening to block revenue streams from its markets and thus force these companies to do strange things (remember how last year Apple moved iCloud servers to China).
At Telegram, we have the luxury of not caring about revenue streams or ad sales. Privacy is not for sale, and human rights should not be compromised out of fear or greed.

🍀The average IQ of the crypt holders is greater than the IQ of the skeptics, according to the experiment conducted by the Midex cryptocurrency platform.
🌍Immediately it is worth mentioning that the experiment involved only 1,000 people. Respondents were residents from 7 different European countries (Spain, France, UK, Germany, Poland, Russia, Estonia) and represented 2 completely opposite groups: those who are behind the crypt and own it, and those who don’t consider any investments in digital assets.
📝Both groups passed D. Eysenck's classical IQ test.
As a result, the average IQ index of the token holders group (the first group) was 102,4, and for the second group who are not, this was 100,3. As we can see, the difference between the two groups was only 2.1 points.
❕However, according to Eysenck’s classification, these are different levels of meaning.
✔️The average score of the first group is the average level of intelligence (from 91 to 100), the second group – a high level of average indicators (from 101 to 110).
✔️Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that the first group had comparatively smooth results, while for the second group the amplitude of the difference was relatively large. The record result was 139 points and a kind of anti-record – 82 points.
